| Tonies |
| Description:
Tonies is the award-winning, screen-free audio entertainment system designed just for kids ages 3 years old and up. The system works with the combination of a Toniebox -- a soft, squeezable speaker cube with no screens -- and Tonies -- hand-painted figures filled with songs, audio books, and educational content. New Tonies are available this Fall for kids, parents and educators, just in time for back-to-school: • Elmo and Cookie Monster Tonies include new, original content from Sesame Street, teaching kids all about music and healthy habits like healthy food, exercise and mindfulness. (On Sale September 23, presale starts August 19) • The LeVar Burton Tonie -- narrated by LeVar himself! -- includes audio of his award-winning book, The Rhino Who Swallowed the Storm, plus activities and lessons on emotional learning and literacy, storytelling and an audio field trip for imagination building. (On sale September 9, presale happening now) The GoNoodle Mindfulness Tonie includes 32 minutes of mindfulness and meditation songs and exercises to help get kids in the right mindset. The Toniebox is a soft, shockproof, five-inch cube made of durable fabric. It contains no screens, sharp corners or edges, ads, camera or a microphone, making it super simple, safe and fun for kids to use. The controls are simple ... young kids can adjust the volume, fast forward, rewind, skip chapters and more all on their own without help from an adult. With seven hours of battery life and no need for Wi-Fi access after the initial set up, the Toniebox is an ideal storytime companion at home or while traveling and out and about. The Toniebox comes to life when paired with the whimsical collection of Tonies figures, which are hand-painted characters with hours of stories to tell, songs to sing and worlds to explore. There are two types of Tonies: Content Tonies and Creative-Tonies: • Content Tonies are characters that come pre-loaded with stories and songs for easy listening. For the holiday season, U.S. families can choose from 17 different characters, including classic storybook fairy tales like Pinocchio and Rapunzel, and Disney and Pixar favorites like Cars, Toy Story, Cinderella and The Little Mermaid. • Creative-Tonies have space for up to 90 minutes of personalized recordings of ones own songs, stories and greetings. Parents, grandparents and friends can record content from anywhere in the world using tonies free smartphone app, and load them onto the Creative-Tonies for easy playback. This means that kids can enjoy recording and listening to their own fantastic creations; as well as recordings from loved ones, providing a great way to stay connected. Tonies content is managed through a cloud-based system via the app or website so its safe, secure and parents always have the ultimate control. After initial set up, WiFi is no longer required for use. Unlike YouTube or Amazons Alexa, the Toniebox and Tonie figures work on a closed ecosystem thats not connected to the internet. • The Toniebox is NOT a hackable smart speaker. The system uses RFID technology, not Bluetooth. |
