‘Tis the season for outdoor adventures and exploration! Whether you’re off to find a bluebell wood, have plans for a picnic in the park, or are looking forward to fun in the garden this spring, your must-have essential is the portable Toniebox, the best music player for kids. When it comes to the ultimate lullabies, music for kids, traditional bedtime stories, animal songs, popular kids’ books and characters from TV and film, this children’s music player has you covered.
Toniebox is a safe, no-screens, WI-FI enabled speaker, and once charged, it’s completely mobile for seven hours, making it the perfect companion for kids on the go. The soft-padded Toniebox plays the songs and stories available in Tonies’ ever-expanding library of kids’ classics.
What’s more, for your ultimate soundtrack to this season’s sunshine-filled adventures, Tonies has released an exclusive song called ‘It’s Spring!’ for users to download to their Creative Tonie. A fabulously cheerful song the kids will love, ‘It’s Spring’ will inspire listeners to head outside and celebrate the start of the summer. To further fuel the hearts and minds of young explorers, Tonies has released a 12-minute story featuring a girl and her grandmother as they take a spring walk through the park. A glorious tale to encourage kids to spot the signs of spring as they unfold in the world around them.

What’s a Creative Tonie? I hear you cry.
Well, the Toniebox works via interchangeable kid-proof figurines called ‘Tonies’, each playing a different story. A Creative Tonie is essentially a blank figurine (and there are SO many cute ones to choose from!) that can be filled with your own audio using your computer, tablet or smartphone. You can also download content from the Tonies’ Audio Library, including the most recent spring releases.
The Tonies Audio Library can be easily accessed via the mytonies app, or your mytonies account via the web. Simply tap on the content and assign it to one of your Creative Tonies.
Every Toniebox starter set comes with a Creative Tonie, with space for 90 mins of content. Tonies will be releasing fresh content throughout the year so your child will have something new to listen to on their Creative Tonie.
For step-by-step instructions on how to add audio, click play on the main image to watch the video. It’s incredibly easy to add, delete, and re-jig content, we’ve come such a long way from the children’s CD players and audio cassettes we knew and loved as kids.
For the ultimate story box / music player for kids, choose Toniebox. There are six awesome colours to choose from, to suit every little personality.
Heelys, the original two-in-one wheely shoe launched in 2000, is preparing for the upcoming Easter holidays with its new spring collection. Ideal for encouraging an active, healthy lifestyle, the stylish designs will ensure kids (big and small) will roll through the holidays with ease.
The collection consists of 19 designs, including three brand new Heelys shapes: Reserve Ex, Reserve Low and Pro 20 Half Flood. The Reserve Ex has a basketball shoe style, while the Reserve Low and Pro 20 Half Flood tap into the current Y2K trend for an extra chunky sole.
Match your Heelys to your mood, with designs split across two main aesthetics – a darker colour scheme vs. a lighter, spring-inspired palette. Think camouflage print, graffiti text and paint drips contrasting with pastel colours, tie-dye, metallic laces, foil and rainbow print.
Available in the UK and Europe on the Heelys website and retailers, the collection is available in sizes C12-7 across single or two-wheeled styles. RRPs range from £49.99 to £69.99.
