Your Toniebox can do more than store-bought figures
Millions of kids' rooms have a Toniebox — and most parents only know the pre-recorded Tonies. Yet every Creative-Tonie holds up to 90 minutes of your own content: songs, messages from grandma — or a story where your child is the hero.
Why personalized stories shine on the Toniebox
Kids love the Toniebox because they can operate it themselves — no screen, no parent's phone. Combine that with a story that says their name, features their pet and their favorite topic (space! dinosaurs! unicorns!), and you get something no store-bought Tonie can deliver: a listening experience that belongs to your child alone. And since it's audio, it adds zero screen time.
How to get Gugu stories onto the Toniebox
- Create a story in Gugu: set up a character (name, looks, favorite animal), pick a theme and a lesson — Gugu generates a narrated story in seconds, optionally in your own cloned voice.
- Export the audio: export the story as an audio file right inside the Gugu app — no conversion tools needed.
- Load it onto your Creative-Tonie: assign the file in the mytonies app or on tonies.com, place the figure on the box — done.
Sleep tip: create a series — Gugu continues stories chapter by chapter, so a new episode of the same adventure waits on the box every evening.
