Take your Tonies on an adventure
Posted by Spotty Otter on 14th Nov 2022
Have you heard about the Toniebox and Tonies? If you have young children who love listening to stories, a Toniebox is a fun and magical way to stay away from screen time but keep them entertained. Here at Spotty Otter we understand the importance stories have on young children. Reading and sharing stories together can help your child get to know sounds, words, learn language, and develop early literacy skills. Learn to value books and stories to spark your child's imagination, and stimulate curiosity. We think a Toniebox hiding under your tree this Christmas would make a very special present!
What is a Toniebox?
The Toniebox is a very simple but special box full of adventures and audio fun for children. It’s cleverly designed so children can use it, covered in a cushioned water repellent material, it has two little ears which control the volume and a rechargeable docking station. When it’s not charging the Toniebox is wireless with no screens or buttons.
To start the magic, you place a Tonie character on the magnetic square on top of the box. When the character is in place, it will light up and play. It really is very magical when the story or song begins.
Tell me more about Tonies
There are so many wonderful Tonies to choose from, including well-known stories, songs, educational Tonies, baby lullabies and so much more. Did you know each Tonie is beautifully hand painted, your children will be sure to recognise lots of their favourite characters. You can also get a Creative Tonie which is a figure you can use to upload up to 90 minutes of your own content. Using the Tonies app to upload the content, the app is very straightforward and simple to use.
Taking your Tonies on an adventure
All Toniebox content is downloaded via Wi-Fi and stored in the Tonie Cloud, so the Toniebox and Tonies can be taken anywhere once charged. This means that stories can be played without Wi-Fi access, with an incredible 7 hours of battery life. It also has the option to listen with headphones.
Where will you choose to listen to yours?
Stories in the Great Outdoors
Listening to a story is a key form of communication, as well as being very good for relaxation and our mental wellbeing. Children especially, love to hear and tell stories. Storytelling develops many skills, it can also stimulate imagination and curiosity. Taking storytelling outdoors can add an extra dimension, especially if you use a location that might link to the story you’re listening to. Imagine sitting in a cave while listing to ‘Were going on a bear hunt’ or enjoying a stroll through the woods while listing to the ‘Gruffalo’! It may allow you to share the feeling of the characters when in the space and create a magical atmosphere.
