Naptime and bedtime for babies and toddlers is all about timing, the wind-down and creating an environment that’s conducive to sleep. As part of a good bedtime routine, it’s thought that playing white noise or ambient sounds helps children sleep better and for longer. That’s why we were so excited to see Tonies’ launch their collection of naptime Tonies to help little ones drift off to sleep.
The Toniebox is a simple, no-screens Wi-Fi enabled speaker designed to play popular audio stories via interchangeable kid-proof figurines called ‘Tonies’. And now, with the launch of three sleepy time Tonies, the Toniebox goes one step further, transitioning from a favourite storytime companion into the perfect naptime friend. The longest playing Tonies to date, this soothing collection includes nature sounds, white noise and charming songs and stories from In The Night Garden.

The White Noise naptime Tonie in the form of a cute white cat figurine is fabulous for lulling tricky sleepers seamlessly into the land of nod.
White noise contains many frequencies with equal intensities. It’s brilliant at masking noises outside of your child’s sleeping environment, whilst mimicking the continuous sounds your child would have heard in the womb.
It’s this comfortable, womb-like environment that soothes unsettled children to calm them for sleep. What’s more, the repetition of white noise helps kids stay asleep by drowning out noise from the outside world.
Running time 120 minutes.
The Nature Sounds Tonie will create a low-energy environment perfect for your child’s naptime or bedtime.
Nature sounds can help promote relaxation by signifying that it’s time for your little one to turn off and be still.
Listening to the calming sounds of a tranquil forest at dusk, and gentle water flowing will help them drop into a restful sleep.
Running time 120 minutes.
Last but not least, the sleepy time collection includes kid favourite and much loved British classic In The Night Garden. Your little one can join Igglepiggle and friends on a super-relaxing musical journey to slumberland with these charming songs and stories.
A Musical Journey offers comforting and familiar sounds that will help even the trickiest of little sleepers drift off for peaceful night’s sleep or a restful long nap.
Running time 47 minutes.
This wonderful naptime collection by Tonies is available to shop now. RRP 14.99 each.

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.
