Tonies are robust, hand painted characters that contain the content of audio books, songs and stories. Tonies work with a Toniebox, the innovative portable music player system that combines playing, learning and listening. It’s screen-free and easy for children to operate. Placing Tonies audio characters on the Toniebox begins playback automatically and taking them off stops it. Pressing the ears changes the volume. Tapping the sides changes tracks and the fast-forward or rewind function is activated by tilting the Toniebox.

• Toniebox required for use.
• Wi-Fi connection required for initial setup.
