• - Tonieplay Integration: This new interactive category invites kids into gaming with quizzes and adventures, seamlessly merging storytelling with fun challenges that can be enjoyed solo or with friends.

The Toniebox 2 expands beyond traditional storytelling, providing a platform for children to immerse themselves in interactive narrative experiences. With hundreds of characters and stories, it can adapt to a child’s evolving interests.
