Coming up with creative new bedtime stories every night can be exhausting for parents. Tonies are a great solution, giving kids fun stories about some of their favorite characters to listen to as they drift off to sleep. 

Tonies are collectible figures inspired by characters from books, movies, TV shows, and original stories. When kids put a Tonie on top of the Toniebox (sold separately), the cube-shaped speaker starts playing the stories. 

The newest Tonie launch is the Brown Bear and Friends Tonie, inspired by Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? by Eric Carle. Gwyneth Paltrow narrates the stories Polar Bear, Polar Bear, What Do You Hear?; Panda Bear, Panda Bear, What Do You See?; and Baby Bear, Baby Bear What Do you See? in both English and Spanish. The total run time is 40 minutes.
