Product Information

Olive’s Toniebox is used everyday in our household, either as part of her bedtime routine or (increasingly) during the day when Olive wants to listen to music or a story. Furthermore, despite buying the box for Olive when she was only one, I still feel like we’ve had plenty of use from it, and this will only continue as she grows older and her attention span expands. The Toniebox is available in a range of charming colors, and it’s a durable and portable speaker that encourages children to explore the world of audio storytelling in a tangible, interactive way. With just a simple tap on its ears, kids can start, stop, or skip stories. This makes it a perfect companion for on-the-go adventures, bedtime stories, or quiet playtime. As we suspected, how we use our TonieBox has changed dramatically over the last year or so. Initially, we used the box for Olive’s bedtime routine – playing lullaby Tonies as we put her to sleep. As she’s gotten older, however, Olive has started to play with the Toniebox independently, using it throughout the day to listen to music or her favourite Julia Donaldson story. Having said that, we rarely buy new ones and instead ask for them for Olive’s birthday or Christmas. As she’s only two, she has no idea she could have more and so for now, the spend is under control. I do fear, however, that as she grows older, her demands for new Tonies may well increase. 2. Can Be Clunky

Every Tonieboxcomes with a unique starter Creative-Tonie, allowing parents or grandparents to record their own voices onto the gadget. This is perfect for storytime when families can't be together. This is a really nice touch and means that when my husband is away, I can play his guitar lullaby to Olive. Alternatively, if I’m travelling, I can record a bedtime story on the Creative Tonie for Olive to listen to. We bought the Toniebox as a gift for her first birthday, hoping that it would be something that would see her through a good chunk of her childhood. We wanted something that she would both ‘grow with’ and ‘grow into’ and (I’m pleased to report) the Toniebox has offered precisely this. Although it’s a lovely idea, I don’t think we’ve made the most out of the Creative Tonie and that’s simply because neither of us can be bothered to add anything else. 6. Toniebox Doesn’t Support Wireless Headphones As a story-telling, music playing and educational device, the Toniebox can have a variety of uses throughout childhood. From simple lullabies at night to educational stories about space and time, the Toniebox certainly earns its price tag when it comes to versatility. 7. What is the Battery Life of a Toniebox?Content Tonies are pre-loaded themed Tonies that you can buy ready to play. Including Disney, Julia Donaldson classics, Beethoven classics, Terrible Tudors and Pixar characters, there are a huge variety on offer here in the UK, alone. The Tonies Toniebox is the perfect storytime companion for tiny hands and active imaginations, allowing little ones to discover a whole world of stories, music and learning. Because it has no screen, the Toniebox engages little listeners through audio. By listening to stories, rather than staring at a screen, your little one is immersed in new worlds of imaginative and independent play. On average, Disney Tonies only last a measly 22 minutes, whereas a recent sleepy Tonie I bought – Lullaby Melodies with Sleepy Sheep– lasts a whopping 140 minutes. Importantly, and unlike many children’s storytelling or music toys on the market, the Toniebox has no flashing colours or lights.
