It’s no secret children love story time, with popular favourites spanning across classic books and timeless tales as well as those featuring fun film and TV characters. If you love to see your little ones entertained by the twists and turns of an exciting story, tonies® are bringing these tales and characters to life, with Toniebox, the portable musical storybox kids can actually operate themselves.

The Toniebox starter set (£79.95, Tonies.com) comes in a selection of different colours and is designed for children aged three and over. Created to keep kids (and parents) happy, this is a magical way for them to enjoy music and stories, minus any screens.

Arriving complete with a Creative-Tonie character, this little playtime pal is what you’ll upload music, songs and stories onto. Tonies are then additional figures which can be purchased to pop on top of the box and provide standalone stories, in the form of 120 hand-painted characters including Disney, Paddington Bear, Peter Rabbit, The Gruffalo, Paw Patrol and more.

Once you’ve got the Toniebox, these additional buys would then make great gifts from friends and grandparents for Christmas and birthdays going forward. And as we know, children love collecting little figures to play with.

A portable unit compatible with wifi connection, there’s a Tonie-App to upload content onto the Creative-Tonie which is included in your Toniebox starter set. Read on for the full magical musical storybox lowdown.

Bedtime stories and songs

They’ll get cosy and snuggle into the woven fabric finish of a Toniebox after a busy day, settling down ready for stories and songs. For a personalised bedtime story, you could add recordings from family members onto the Creative-Tonie too.
