What is the difference between the Toniebox 2 and the original Toniebox?

The second generation adds Tonieplay interactive games, a sleep timer with light, a sunrise alarm and Bluetooth headphone support. The core idea is the same: a Tonie figure on top starts the audio.

What comes in the starter set?

The set pairs the Toniebox 2 with a Tonie character so a child can start listening right away. Additional Tonies and Tonieplay games are sold separately.

Does it work without a phone?

Kids can play stories and songs by placing a Tonie on the box without a phone. The tonies app is used for setup and for controls such as the sleep timer and sunrise alarm.

Can my child use headphones with it?

Yes. It supports Bluetooth headphones through the tonies app, so kids can listen wire-free without a screen.

It is designed for kids roughly 1 to 9. The simple controls suit toddlers, and the games and chapter stories keep older kids engaged.

Is there a screen or advertising?

No. It is audio only, with no screens and no ads, which is the main reason parents choose it over a tablet.

About the Toniebox 2 Starter Set

Toniebox 2 is a screen-free audio player for kids ages 1 to 9+. Kids use simple controls to play songs, stories and games on their own. It has no screens or ads. The body is squishy, covered in wipeable fabric, and built to handle drops and tumbles.

Adding Tonieplay unlocks interactive games, quizzes and challenges, played solo or in teams. A light ring glows in rainbow colors while a Tonie plays and gives light cues during Tonieplay games.

Squeezing both ears starts the Sleep Timer, which is set up in the tonies app. When the timer runs out, the light and volume dim slowly and the Toniebox powers down. The Sunrise Alarm wakes kids with a soft light that slowly brightens and a cheerful tune. The app also shows the battery level, manages the Tonies collection and adjusts settings. The Toniebox pairs with tonies Bluetooth headphones for wireless listening.
