Meet Toniebox 2 - smarter bedtimes and screen-free play for ages 1+
For many parents, bedtime can be the most precious and sometimes (or even often) the most challenging part of the day. Between bathtime, stories, and that final cuddle before lights out, finding calm within the chaos isn’t always easy. But building a gentle routine makes all the difference, helping little ones feel safe, soothed, and ready for sleep.
That’s why we’re excited to introduce Toniebox 2, the next generation of the award-winning kids audio player, now available to buy at Natural Baby Shower. Designed for children aged 1 and up, Toniebox 2 brings together calming audio, playful independence, and new smart bedtime features to make evenings smoother for parents and more magical for little ones.
With an ever-growing range of Tonies - and now with Tonieplay, an all-new range of interactive audio games - the adventure continues as your child grows.
Why bedtime routines matter
Bedtime is more than just the end of the day. For babies and toddlers, it’s a daily opportunity to wind down, process the day’s adventures, and build the foundations of healthy sleep habits. Experts agree that consistent cues like dim lighting, soothing sounds, and familiar rituals, help children transition more easily from play to sleep.
But as every parent knows, the reality can be unpredictable. Some nights flow peacefully, while others feel like an uphill struggle. That’s where clever tech like the Toniebox 2 can help, by giving parents helpful tools and providing children with extra comfort and gentle prompts that encourage calm.
Meet Toniebox 2
If you already know and love the original Toniebox, the new Toniebox 2 takes everything families love - its soft, durable design and easy controls - and makes it even smarter for today’s little listeners.
Designed for ages 1+
Squishy, robust, and simple to use, the Toniebox 2 is safe for little hands from the very start. Children can control their own listening, popping a Tonie on top of the Toniebox to hear songs, sounds and stories, giving them independence and growing their confidence right from toddlerhood.
Bedtime features built-in
The Toniebox 2’s new smart bedtime features, including Bedtime Mode and Sleep Timer with Light, let parents choose when the Toniebox 2 powers down, gently fading out the sound and glow to help their little snoozers drift off peacefully. And, after a good night’s rest, the new Sunrise Alarm eases them into the day with a gentle light and wake-up tunes.
Grows with your child
From sleepy melodies at bedtime and songs and stories in the preschool years, to Tonieplay Games for older kids, Toniebox 2 is designed to last through every stage of childhood.
Sleepy Friends Night Lights
At Natural Baby Shower, we know how valuable a night light can be in a young family’s routine. A soft, warm glow helps signal to little ones that it’s time to slow down, while giving parents enough light for bedtime stories or nighttime feeds without overstimulating.
The tonies® Sleepy Friends Night Light collection, including Sleepy Bear, and Sleepy Sheep, offers gentle melodies and adjustable light settings designed to create calm for children from babyhood through the preschool years.
Together, the Toniebox 2 and the Sleepy Friends range create a holistic sleep environment, combining warm light, calming sound, and familiar routines to make evenings more peaceful for the whole family.
From first words to full length audio books
One of the joys of owning a Toniebox is the ever-growing library of Tonie characters your little one can collect. Each Tonie unlocks its own world of stories, songs, and sounds when placed on top of the Toniebox, giving children endless ways to listen and learn.
From that very first nursery rhyme through to full-length audiobooks, there’s always something new to discover:
For younger listeners, there are gentle lullabies, nursery rhymes and simple soundscapes to support first words and early language skills.
As they grow, toddlers can enjoy songs and stories from familiar friends like Peppa Pig, The Gruffalo and Disney Princesses.
Older children can dive into full-length audio books from best-selling children’s authors like Roald Dahl, Enid Blyton and David Walliams.
And curious kids can even explore mind-boggling stories and fascinating facts from National Geographic and the Natural History Museum.
Introducing Tonieplay
As children grow, their play evolves. That’s where Tonieplay comes in. Designed exclusively for Toniebox 2, Tonieplay unlocks a whole new way for kids to listen, learn, and explore through interactive audio games.
From quiz challenges to imaginative adventures, and exciting missions, Tonieplay encourages skills like problem-solving, memory, and critical thinking - all without screens. It’s designed for ages 3 and up, giving older children new ways to enjoy their Toniebox long after the bedtime lullabies and toddler stories.
For parents, Tonieplay offers reassurance. Children are learning and growing through play, while still enjoying the comfort of a safe, screen-free environment.
