TONIES® CELEBRATES ITS ONE MILLIONTH TONIEBOX SOLD IN THE US

Screen-Free Toy Brand Marks Milestone at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) and Unveils Its Newest Tonies Figurines

PALO ALTO, Calif., Jan. 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Tonies^®, the original screen-free audio entertainment system for young children, is thrilled to announce the sale of its one millionth Toniebox in the US.^* This significant milestone, which coincides with the brand unveiling its latest Tonies figurines at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES), is a testament to its growing popularity and success in revolutionizing children's entertainment and education. The brand offers more than 700 Tonies figurines that can be placed on top of the Toniebox for children to enjoy storytelling, interactive play and educational content without screens.

"Reaching one million Tonieboxes sold in the US is a tremendous accomplishment for us," said Christoph Frehsee, President, tonies^® USA. "The Toniebox is a child's first device, long before we should expose them to their own personal screens. It's like a first companion that helps children discover imagination and make sense of a big world of wonder with our magical characters and captivating stories - no screens, just pure joy."

As the children's audio platform marks its one millionth Toniebox player sold, they are also expanding their extensive collection of Tonies figurines with three new companions at CES – the Mindfulness Tonie, the Potty Training Tonie and the Yoga Tonie.

• Mindfulness Tonie: Encourages children to unwind while discovering the wonders of the world and teaching them about meditation, mindfulness, relaxation and exploration.
• Potty Training Tonie: Teaches essential life lessons while also sharing cool facts, catchy songs and a humorous story about potty training.
• Yoga Tonie: Helps children learn about their balance, flexibility and overall well-being, while also teaching them about yoga, mindfulness, confidence and friendship.

"Parents find themselves frequently saying 'no' but the Toniebox and the world of Tonies is where kids get a big 'yes' to endless listening, independent play, recording their own stories, and safely building technological and device management skills," said Frehsee.
