Is year one (age 5) to old for a Tonie ?

What do you think are they more a preschool music player. I thought maybe some Disney stories for it as we haven't had those on CD

No way. They're marketed for ages 3 to 7. Ideal if you don't want your child with a "proper" device yet.

I think they are expensive for what they are and will be quickly out grown.
I'd be tempted to look at a plain speaker and an MP3 player (either on tablet / old phone / ipod / mp3 player ) to down load too.

I'm leaning towards a yoto for my 3 year old as I think they've more longevity and 'do' more things. I don't think Tonies are marketed for 3-7, most people I know who've got them recently have got them for toddlers/2 year olds - the kids use them longer, absolutely, but they're clearly targeting much younger kids than 3 as well.

If you do decide to get one, on WHSmith you can get one for £47.46 with free delivery using codes 9516004 and SAVE5 which is a pretty nice saving off the full price!

My 5 year old has one (as does my 3 year old) they're both used nightly to listen to a story, or one of the lullaby themed music ones, once they've been read a story before bed. I find that it helps them to wind down in my experience. They both also sometimes take themselves off to their rooms & listen to them at the weekends.

@Mumumumu I can't find it on WH Smith's .. I'm on my iPhone maybe the search is rubbish hmmm

Interested in this code as well. Fab deal

The code works for the yoto but the save5 code won't work for me. Thanks though! Even 10 quid saving is good

5 is about just right. 3 and 4 are slightly too young For the longer stories. The music/song ones are aimed at younger kids I would think.

@Mumumumu I used two codes to order Tonies and audio book figures for both Dc from WHSmith .. saved £94.21 .. I hope they don't cancel the order because that is epic !!! The bundles with the figures on the Tonies site were sold out for the Disney ones £99 with 3 stories plus the creative figure. I have also seen some older things like diary of wimpy kids, so think he should get a couple of years out of it.

I couldn't search Tonies on their mobile site had to Google search it and WHSmith together but managed in the end

So got two Tonies and 10 books ( 5 each) for £195.59

Thanks all

@Mumumumu thank for the heads up 😊

Just testing out if I can short link with just a word 😬 any tips on how to do it, assuming this doesn't work
, I'm on the app ?

Get yourself a cheap (or second hand) cd player. A load of cds from the charity shop or Facebook market place and you've got yourself a knockdown version of something that essentially does exactly the same thing.

I used both codes a few days ago & the Toniebox & characters just arrived, so you should be fine 😊
