Toniebox, the popular audio entertainment device for kids, has joined forces with the Natural History Museum to create a special collection of tonies. These tonies bring the museum's stories to life through the exciting adventures of three young explorers.
If you're a parent of a child under the age of 8 and you haven't yet discovered the world of Toniebox, this collaboration might just convince you to give it a try. For those who are new to Toniebox, it's a colorful 5-inch tall box with minimal controls. Just a small ear for increasing the volume and a larger one for reducing it - that's all there is to it. The box comes with themed characters that contain songs, stories, or educational content. These characters attach to the top of the box with a magnet, and the sound plays when they are placed on it. It's that simple, even a toddler can operate it - and they do! My 4-year-old daughter has taken her Toniebox on all our travels, from bedtime stories to camping trips, and even long car rides. It has been a lifesaver during those moments of boredom and has provided endless hours of fun for her and her friends.
Currently, there are over 1,100 Tonie characters available in different languages across 100 countries. You can find everything from Disney songs and stories to popular shows and storybooks. And now, Toniebox has announced its latest collaboration with the Natural History Museum, introducing the Clever Pocket Tonies range. These special tonies are designed to provide kids with a fun and engaging learning experience through audio.
The first in this range is the Natural History Museum Discovery Crew Clever Pocket Tonie series, featuring four immersive adventures that will ignite a love for learning in young minds. The brand has worked closely with the museum's 370 scientists to curate these exciting and fact-filled stories. Each story follows the journey of three brave young explorers - Ruari, Jo, and Hamid - as they embark on thrilling adventures through time. From encountering prehistoric creatures to diving with deep sea creatures, listeners will be transported into the fascinating world of our planet, past, and present. They may even get to meet some of the museum's most prominent historical figures, such as Charles Darwin and Mary Anning.
I had the pleasure of attending the launch event for the Tonies at the Natural History Museum in London's South Kensington. We were taken on a tour by the museum's own Leonie Biggenden, who brought the prehistoric exhibits to life and transported us 500 million years back in time - just like the Toniebox characters do. She shared, "It was a real joy to create this tour that followed in the footsteps of the Discovery Crew in the new Natural History Museum Clever Pocket Tonies series, giving the children the opportunity to step into their shoes."
Maxine Lister, head of licensing at the Natural History Museum, also expressed her excitement about this collaboration, saying, "Creating advocates for the planet is fundamental to our museum mission. Tonies do such wonderful work in crafting stories that are educational and engaging for young learners, and with the wealth of historical knowledge within our museum walls, this collaboration felt only natural."
The National History Museum: Discovery Crew 4-piece set will be priced at £19.99 and will be available as part of the new Clever Pocket Tonie range. Prices start at £8.99 for single Tonies and £19.99 for 4-piece Tonie sets. The NHM Discovery Crew series can be purchased on tonies.com, and starting from August 20th, it will also be available on Amazon and select retailers.
