tonies Toniebox 2 Audio Player Julia Donaldson Bundle (Sky Blue) with Tabby McTat & The Superworm
Product description
What this bundle is for
If you’re looking for a screen-free way to make bedtime a bit smoother, this tonies Toniebox 2 Audio Player bundle is aimed squarely at that daily routine. It comes with the Toniebox 2 (in sky blue) plus Julia Donaldson-themed tonies, so kids can listen to stories and music without having to touch a screen.
On paper, it’s the kind of setup that helps replace “one more video” battles with something more hands-on: children put a Tonie or Tonieplay on top of the Toniebox and then navigate by pressing, tilting, tapping and turning. It’s simple, physical and designed for small hands.
Where it shines at bedtime
The bundle leans into bedtime habits and calmer wind-down. The idea is that kids can settle in with familiar story characters and audio, then drift off more naturally, night after night.
A practical example: imagine you’re reading less and letting the child choose a story. They pick a Julia Donaldson tonie, place it on the top, and then use the box controls to move through the audio. You’re not managing a menu system, and there are no screens to interrupt the routine.
What you get in this set
This package includes the Toniebox 2 blue sky unit, the related charging equipment, and at least two Julia Donaldson-themed tonies from the bundle described (including Tabby McTat and The Superworm). The listing also notes that these tonies are designed to be used with a Toniebox (so you’re not buying “content” that works on its own).
Two useful points to keep in mind: - The tonies and Toniebox work together, this isn’t a standalone audio player for random files. - The bundle includes the charging setup, which removes one common “did I miss anything?” worry.
How it works (and what kids will actually do)
The Toniebox 2 is built around intuitive, screen-free controls. Kids don’t scroll through apps. Instead, they interact with the box—pressing, tilting, tapping and turning—to navigate their audio.
That approach can be a real advantage if you want independence in the evening. It’s also worth noting that this kind of interaction is more “play” than “passive listening”, which suits lots of children—but if your child prefers very guided, adult-led listening, it may take a little time to settle into.
Key takeaways for buyers
The biggest win here is the combination: a Toniebox 2 with Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler content, designed for screen-free bedtime. It’s also a bundle, so you’re starting with characters that many families already recognise.
Still, it may not suit everyone. Since this system relies on tonies/Tonieplay that work with a Toniebox, it’s not an easy swap if you were hoping for more general audio playback. If your priority is playing your own audio library or using it like a typical Bluetooth speaker, this is likely the wrong direction.

Is it worth it?
It’s a sensible buy if you want a screen-free story-and-music routine and you like the Julia Donaldson universe for kids aged 3+. The hands-on controls and the idea of building bedtime habits make it a practical choice for families who want something that feels more like play than “another device”.
You might want to skip it if you’re looking for flexible audio playback beyond the Tonie system, or if your child doesn’t enjoy interacting with controls and would rather hear stories in a more traditional, adult-reading way.
