Toniebox Audio Player Starter Set, $69.99 (30% off)

Amazon

This Toniebox Audio Player is a starter set for kids ages 3 and up that comes with the speaker box and one playful Content Tonie character. The speaker plays when you place a Tonie on the box, and the included Playtime Puppy has a total of 52 minutes of toddler-friendly tunes, including “The Wheels on the Bus” and “Mary Had a Little Lamb”. Collecting more Tonies can be part of the fun (there are dozens to choose from, including Elsa from Frozen and Tigger), though they are sold separately.

Because the audio box has a simple design, even the youngest kids can play with it independently. It doesn’t require any Wi-Fi, and the 7-hour battery life means it’s great to take it on the go. The tactile play controls are also designed with little hands in mind, making it durable enough for rough play. Parents can rest easy knowing that there are no screens, and they can be sure it’s a safe experience for their kids with controls in the mytonies app.

You and your kids can stimulate your imaginations by recording songs, stories and more and playing it back (it can record up to 90 minutes). And adding your choice of free content from the mytonies app is also easy. Parents and grandparents have given this fun audiobox high ratings. As one customer says, “Love this speaker! Not only does it help keep your toddler away from screens but helps build confidence and independence.”

Helping the kid in your life to develop creativity, have fun and be more independent with the Tonibox Audio Player starter set definitely makes it worth the spend. Right now, it’s 30% off on Amazon, making it one of the best times to buy.
