Mindfulness and Yoga Tonies Are Screen-Free Mental Health Resources

Being a kid can be really stressful, especially if kids don’t have the tools they need to regulate their emotions. Tonies latest launch of figures — the Mindfulness Tonie and the Yoga Tonie — will help teach kids different skills they can use to level out their emotions and relax. 

Designed for kids ages 3 and up, Tonies are figures of animals and some of kids’ favorite fictional characters, when kids put Tonies on a Toniebox, they play screen-free stories that engage kids through songs, noises, and words. 

The Mindfulness Tonie features a sloth with its legs crossed and its arms resting on its knees. With the Mindfulness Tonie, kids take adventures through different areas of nature, including the jungle, the savannah, and more, with Mo the sloth. Mo the sloth guides kids as they meditate, using their imaginations to see new animals and go exploring to places they’ve never been to before. In each meditation session, kids lay down and relax their bodies while Mo helps them focus on mindfulness, being aware of their bodies, and calming their racing thoughts.

The Yoga Tonie features Sara the Llama stretching her body through yoga! Through each track on this adorable Tonie, kids can practice new yoga poses that will stretch their muscles, strengthen their balance, and bring them a sense of serenity. There are four tracks on this Tonie, each of which practice four or five yoga poses including downward dog, tree pose, and more. 

Both of these Tonies have more than an hour of listening time, which is perfect for kids looking to unwind over the course of an afternoon. These Tonies are also a great way for kids who have a hard time dealing with their emotions or stress to release tension. 

Whether kids need a good way to unwind or parents are looking for a screen-free activity to take up a (hopefully) quiet afternoon, Tonies latest figures are the perfect fit!
