Do used Tonies work?

Yes, just like new ones. The content is stored on the Tonie and stays intact. We check every Tonie before it comes to you.

What do I need to play a Tonie?

A Toniebox that has been set up. The first time you place a Tonie on it, the box downloads the story once via Wi-Fi. After that, the Tonie plays without internet too, on holiday or in the car.

What about Creative-Tonies?

We don’t reset Creative-Tonies before selling them. After buying, though, you can easily record your own songs, stories or voice messages on them.

What age are Tonies for?

Every Tonie shows its age recommendation. To make browsing easy, we’ve sorted them by age: 3+, 4+, 5+ and 6+. Because of small parts, Tonies are not suitable for children under three.
