My Project
In our early childhood classroom, we dream of filling our space with the magic of storytelling and music in a way that is hands-on, engaging, and screen-free. We envision the Toniebox becoming a centerpiece of our students’ daily learning experiences, where they can gather around to hear beloved stories, sing along to favorite songs, and explore exciting educational topics. With your support, we can turn this vision into reality.
We imagine our students’ faces lighting up as they place their favorite Tonie on the Toniebox for the first time, unlocking an interactive world of audio storytelling.
Picture a group of children sitting together, captivated by the sounds of a classic tale or joyfully singing along to a familiar tune. During quiet time, the Toniebox will be a soothing companion, playing calming music or bedtime stories to help students relax and recharge.
Tonies will also help foster independent exploration. We see students eagerly selecting figurines to discover what each one offers—stories of adventure, lessons about the world, or playful songs. They’ll listen, imagine, and retell what they’ve heard, building their language skills and expanding their creativity. This tool will allow them to develop comprehension and vocabulary in a way that feels natural and fun.
In small groups, students can collaborate as they share the Toniebox, sparking conversations, questions, and excitement as they explore together. Whether it’s a tale of bravery, a silly song, or an educational fact, we envision the Toniebox creating moments of wonder that inspire connection and learning in our classroom.
With your support, we can bring this incredible resource to life for our students. Help us give them the opportunity to dive into the world of stories and music, nurturing their love for learning and creativity one magical moment at a time!
