Entertaining kids isn't always easy – especially 4-year-olds. If my preschooler had his way, he would watch television all day. So, I'm constantly on the hunt for toys that don't involve screens, will keep him entertained, and exercise his imagination. Easier said than done. That is until I found the Toniebox, a screen-free toy for kids three and up that uses storytelling and sing-along songs to keep them engaged. And my son is obsessed. Best of all, you can buy it for $80 less on Amazon TODAY -- perfect for the holidays.
It's so simple to operate, they can use it independently on their own (even my 18-month-old plays with it). Just place the character (or "Tonies") on the Toniebox and you can hear stories and songs from Disney, Pixar, and more characters. There are even educational and musical Tonies.
And the battery lasts 7 hours, so kids can carry it around all day. As soon as my son started playing with the Toniebox, his television watching diminished. Now all he does is talk about the Tonies he wants for his birthday or Christmas – which actually makes gift-giving for the year simple. Just get more Tonies.
So, keep on scrolling and check out the screen-free toy my son (and all his friends) are obsessed with. The giftable bundle (a Toniebox with multiple Tonies) is down from $179 to $99 on Amazon, so don't wait. Your little one might like it, too.
