The Toniebox encourages children to become involved in the creative world of storytelling with no screen needed. Our testers did find setting up the Toniebox a little difficult at first as it was very technical and took several goes to set it up correctly. However, the children then found the controls easy and we liked that parents and caregivers have control of the content.
The characters are of excellent quality and easily recognisable. The figures also made the story interactive, for example, one child checked off the features of the Gruffalo as its features were described in the story. This is great for literacy skills, in comparing the spoken words to the character itself. Audio stories also help develop listening skills and help children to focus and engage with others. It is a lovely touch that you can record your own stories onto the characters, meaning children can listen to stories from relatives who live far away or listen to goodnight messages.
