New Tonie Characters for Toniebox
Tonieboxes are such a brilliant gift for children and what’s perfect is that you can add to your collection during the year. When family and friends ask – what does x want for their birthday/ Christmas you can have a wish list of Tonie characters. Throughout the year there are often Tonies on sale and other discount offers to entice.
We’ve had a Tonies Box for around 6 years now. I did think the novelty would wear off – how wrong I was. Floss our daughter is now seven and still adores her Tonie characters (we do have a Yoto player too – if you’re deciding between Yoto and Tonie this post should help).

May 2024 New Tonie Releases
The Very Hungry Caterpillar and Friends
I’m incredibly excited to see one of the UK releases for May. The Very Hungry Caterpillar has been available in other locations for a while and it’s finally coming to the UK on the 20th May. It’s got three of Eric Carle’s original stories including The Very Hungry Caterpillar as well as a song and facts track for each.
You also get The Very Hungry Caterpillar read by none other than Eric Carle himself! Sounds like 43 minutes of magic to me and how cute it the character?! Here’s a link to some lovely resources that you could use to accompany this Tonie character.
The Wizard of Oz
If you’ve read any of my Tonie posts before you’ll know that I like to get value for money on audio content. I’m thrilled to see another Tonie character over the maximum of 90 minutes. This one promises 135 minutes of Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz that releases on the 13th May.
There’s one more release on the 13th May but it’s from an author I’m not a huge fan of so I’ll leave it there you can take a look at Hilarious Animal Adventures here.
April 2024 New Tonie Releases
Tonies are treating us to four new releases for April. Here’s a little more about each.
Spidey & His Amazing Friends: Black Panther Character
There’s going to be some very excited Marvel fans ready for Spidey & His Amazing Friends: Black Panther Character release on the 19th April. It’s only 36 minutes of audio content and if you’ve read any of my posts before you know I like a little longer out of content. However, fans of Black Panther I can’t imagine will mind.
Learn With Peppa Pig Character
Another 19th April release is Learn With Peppa Pig Character. I must admit to being slightly relieved that my daughter has moved away from her Peppa Pig obsession stage. However, there’s no denying the appeal and this Tonie character has 75 minutes of content and a selection of topics explored.
List of titles:
01 – All About Our World
02 – All About Emotions
03 – All About Community
04 – All About Being Creative
05 – All About My Body
Looking for some free Peppa Pig resources? Penguin Books have some free ones here.
The Dinosaur That Pooped Collection Character
What is it about kids and poo! Releasing on the 22nd April is The Dinosaur That Pooped Collection Character. You get 44 minutes of audio content but are treated to six of The Dinosaur that Pooped books. Three of the title are then included extra as read-alouds.
Here’s some great free resources that you could use to accompany the Tonie from Scholastic.
The Worst Witch Character
The final release for April 2024 (22nd April) is The Worst Witch. This is a fabulous book by Jill Murphy and you get the first book in ten chapters with 66 minutes of audio content. You can discover more about this series perfect for early independent readers here.
March 2024 New Tonie Releases
Only four releases this month and I must admit to having to google who Blippi was. I now realise he’s a very popular character on YouTube for preschoolers. Blippi and Toy Story 3 & 4 release on the 20th March with the Rachel Bright collection (The Koala) and Playtime and Action Songs 2 releasing on the 25th March.
Toy Story 3 & 4 Tonie Character
Finally, we get a Jesse Tonie character to complete the Toy Story collection. This time we get two stories in one so it’s certainly a better value for money content Tonie than the previous Toy Story ones but still only 37 minutes. Toy Story 1 was Woody and Toy Story 2 Buzz Lightyear.
The Koala Who Could – Three-Book Collection Tonie Character
We’re a huge fan of Rachel Bright and her super books for children. We’ve had the pleasure of watching her and Jim Field perform their stories live for us and they are wonderful. The Koala Who Could is the latest Rachel Bright collection along to join previous titles The Lion Inside and Love Monster. Although the audio content isn’t lengthy they’re unabridged versions of the stories and we love them.
List of titles included in The Koala Who Could:
01 – Introduction
02 – The Koala Who Could
03 – Kevin The Koala Bonus Track
04 – The Gecko And The Echo
05 – Goldie Gecko Bonus Track
06 – The Squirrels Who Squabbled
07 – Cyril Squirrel Bonus Track Goodbye
Playtime and Action Songs 2 Tonie Character
Playtime and Actions Songs 2 is a re-release of a previous title. It’s got a great selection of favourite nursery rhymes on and is just under 30 minutes in duration. Playtime and Actions Songs 2 appeared briefly on the website in January and then was removed. It finally seems to be ready for release on March 25th.

February 2024 New Tonie Releases
Eek I am so excited for some of the new releases this month. I’m a child of the 80s so to see Care Bears launch with Toniebox makes me giddy with excitement.
Care Bears, Hercules and all other February releases are now available.
Care Bears
It’s the lovely Cheer Bear and Funshine Bear who are released in February. I’m wondering if this may be like the Paw Patrol series where we get more characters introduced with further stories in future.
Both Care Bear Tonie characters give you just over an hour of cute Care Bear stories. I can absolutely see these characters being used both on and off the Toniebox!
Something my daughter loves is to have some themed activities to go alongside whilst she’s listening to her Toniebox if she’s using it during the day. The Care Bear website has a brilliant selection of activities to explore here.
The Brilliant World of Tom Gates
I’m incredibly excited to see The Brilliant World of Tom Gates launch. This is a Tonie that is targeted to a slightly older age group than many of the other Tonies with a guide of 6+. It’s also packed full of content at 106 minutes! Is this one of the longest Tonies?
Usually Tonies only allow you to add up to 90 minutes of content. We were thrilled when Planet Omar came to Tonie with content over 90 minutes and for an age range of 8+. Could these launches be a turning point in Tonie targeting an older age range. My daughter Floss is loving this new lengthier content.
Activities to enjoy alongside The Brilliant World of Tom Gates can be found here.
Maestro
What an exciting addition to the Tonie character collection. Perfect for music lovers Maestro sees Duncan Ward, chief conductor for the London Symphony Orchestra narrate the world of classical musical for little ones with lots of wonderful classical music from various composers. It’s 83 minutes of content too!
Floss loves to use these mini musical instrument models when she listens to classical music and see what instruments she can identify in the piece. She’s so much better than me at it! I’d also highly recommend the book series – The Story Orchestra – you can find out more information on them in this blog post.
Puss in Boots Relaunch – What’s the Difference?
Puss in Boots relaunch has had a major make-over of content. The actual character could be like a spot the difference the changes are so subtle! Below I’ve put the content of both down so you can see the differences. There has been a change to all four accompanying stories to Puss in Boots. You also get an extra 24 minutes of content with the new relaunch of Puss in Boots. If you’d like to get the original it is currently on sale here.
January 2024 New Tonie Releases
The first five new Tonies are rolling in towards the end of the month with release dates of the 22nd and 24th of January 2024. It’s a great line up for younger audiences this time round.
Burpee Bears Tonie Character
Burpee Bear are books by the ‘Nation’s Favourite PE teacher’ Joe Wicks. The description says that it includes exercises so that sounds lots of fun. Run time is approximately 29 minutes for the three stories.
The stories include The Burpee Bears, The Burpee Bears a Christmas Adventure (on a very good offer right now perfect to stash away for next Christmas) and the World Book Day book Bedtime for the Burpee Bears. I’ve not read them myself, but they are highly rated on reviews.
There’s a great little set of free activity sheets I’ve found to go with this Tonie character that you can download here. Also, I’ve found some recipe cards and exercise ideas you can download here.
Viva Trolls Tonie Character
Viva Tonie Character has a run time of an hour with two songs included in the line up of the chapters.
You can get a story of the movie but I’m unaware if this follows the same wording as the Viva Tonie Character yet. There’s also a sticker activity book. Dreamworks have also published a superb set of free activity sheets to accompany Trolls 3 too. You can download the pack here.
Milo Tonie Character
Milo is a much loved Channel 5 Milkshake character. Milo is a five year old cat who loves to roleplay and explore different occupations with his pals.
At a run time of 71 minutes it’s one of the better value releases for January for duration of content.
For the Milo Tonie Character you get five of the stories including:
- The Racing Driver
- The Explorer
- The Botanist
- The Astronaut
- The Archaeologist
You can find lots of Milo content on YouTube and here’s The Explorer video to give you an idea of the content.
Tracker Paw Patrol Tonie Character
The latest Paw Patrol character Tracker is back with four new stories and of course the classic theme tune.
There’s now ten different Paw Patrol Tonie Characters. You can find all Paw Patrol Tonie Characters here.
Tonie Character Collections Top Tip
A little tip – if you have family and friends asking what your child wants if they are looking to purchase gifts – set up a google list. We share a wish list of what Floss wants and then if people want ideas they can go to the list and put their name next to the item they want to buy. Great to make sure you don’t get Tonie character duplicates.
