The simple design means young children can use it themselves – promoting independence and less frustration with devices they can’t work This is a perfect screen-free toy for kids from toddlers who are just learning their ABCs to primary school kids who have a good grasp of reading. It nurtures a love of stories and is a lovely way for children to enjoy timeless classics as well as modern favourites.

Plus it’s so easy to use that kids do not need any help when it comes to playing music or a story through the Toniebox. It’s great if you’re looking for something that encourages a little independent play, as well as nurtures their love for stories. Tonieboxes are designed for children aged three years and up, although I'd say that they can be used by younger children, too.
