With summer’s end and chillier weather on the horizon, it’s time to start thinking about indoor activities for your kids. Luckily, Tonies will help to entertain your little ones in all kinds of situations. 

The new limited-edition Mickey and Friends Tonie Starter Set comes with a Toniebox, which is a screen-free cube that provides access to stories, songs, and more educational content. The speaker on Mickey’s box, of course, is shaped like his signature ears.

The stories are accessed by placing a collectible Tonie figure on top of the Toniebox, which in this case is the Mickey figure. Kids ages 3 and up can press on the ear of the box to turn it on, place the Mickey figure on the top of the box, and listen to Goofy tell Robbery on the Overland Express, a story where mysterious travelers are after his valuable set of comic books. 

The set comes with a charging station to power the Toniebox battery, which lasts up to 7 hours.

It also comes with an instruction manual for parents to help set the Toniebox up. With the mytonies app, simple step-by-step instructions can be followed in order to hook it up to the Wi-Fi and get it going. Once it’s connected, the Toniebox can be unplugged and used on the go as a great travel toy. 

Kids can fast forward or rewind the story by tilting the box back and forth, or tap the side to skip to the next chapter, so it’s easy to pick up where they left off in the 38-minute story. And if they happen to fall asleep with the Toniebox in bed with them, the cube is soft and safe.

There’s even a headphone jack for children to listen quietly when parents don’t need to hear the story — because with this entertainment, kids will want to listen over and over again. 

The great thing about Toniebox is by purchasing a Creative Tonie on the app, a parent can record custom audio, including short stories, full stories, or just messages that kids can listen back on anytime. 

With this Mickey and Friends Tonie, screen-free bedtime and indoor play will be so easy that you’ll be saying “Hot diggity dog!”
