![]() The other Tonie we received as part of the package was a Creative Tonie. The Tonies cost £14.99 each with a delivery cost of £2.90. You can hear a sample of the Tonie on the website before you purchase which is a fantastic idea – my son has loved this and we now have an extensive list of Tonie’s he would like for his birthday next month! There are more of the familiar Julia Donaldson books as well as some non-fiction texts (sharks and dinosaurs in the How and Why series of books lasting around 70 minutes) and some classics such as Pinocchio and A Christmas Carol, lasting around 50 minutes. There are lots of Tonies to choose from and they vary in genre and length to appeal to all ages. The Tonie’s vary in length (you can see this information when you purchase them as well as on the back of the packaging), the Room on the Boom was approximately 16 mins whilst the Jungle Book was approximately 24 minutes, they also have age guidance included with them (4+ for Room on the Broom and 3+ for Jungle Book). The story then follows the 4 songs from the Jungle Book. The Jungle Book character was my favourite (a dancing Baloo!) and got everyone dancing straight away with the Elephant Marching Song! This was played over and over again when we first got our Toniebox with lots of dramatic marching across the room (much to the dismay of our elderly cat!). The story is read clearly (this one was by Josie Lawrence) and at a good pace to follow with some sound effects for added enjoyment! We especially liked the cat purr sound on this one as well as the cackle of the witch! Volume is simply controlled by pressing the ears (big ear for louder and small ear for quieter!) and you just take the Tonie off when you have had enough or want another story (a far cry from ruining CDs by grabbing them out the player before they had finished spinning or accidently pulling the tape out of the cassette!). Once playing, music begins instantly and captures the child’s attention straight away. My son went straight for the Room on the Broom as it was the most familiar for him. The Room on the Broom, Jungle Book and a Creative Tonie. We were provided with 3 Tonies to explore with our box. The design of the Toniebox is so lovely and simple it doesn’t look out of place anywhere – ours has moved between the lounge, kitchen and bedroom and it looks like part of the décor in each room! It is also light and easy to carry, because of the shape, so my son regularly has it tucked under his arm for ease of transportation! ![]() I am always a bit daunted by setting up anything electronic for the kids as they aren’t terrible patient and always eager to play quickly, but this was reassuringly quick! The instructions were easy to follow and set up was quick and hassle free (there are some quick ‘trouble shooting’ snippets of advice to follow if you need them included in the box). We downloaded the App to our iPhone with ease and quickly followed the set-up instructions to get started.
