 Limiting kids' screen time is an important part of healthy growth and development, but so is keeping them engaged in fun stories, songs, and activities. The perfect alternative to iPads and TVs is the Toniebox, a screen-free listening device that gives kids' access to hundreds of stories, songs, and adventures all by themselves, no screen or blue light necessary. And now, you can grab the Toniebox in a "Lite" version that is a bit more portable and affordable for families on the go.

 The Toniebox Lite from tonies is a kid-friendly listening device that uses tonies characters to take kids on audio adventures with a simple connection. All your child has to do is pop a Tonie on top of the speaker system and a story, song, or activity will begin to play. The speaker itself is small enough to place in a backpack or be picked up and carried by a toddler, and it even features a built-in sleep timer that lowers the volume before switching it off, lulling your child into dreamland.

 It also has kid-friendly volume controls and works with the tonies app to help you stay involved without disrupting their independence. You can also add free content to your child's Tonies via the app, recording up to 90 minutes on each Tonie character. You can even link your Toniebox Lite to Bluetooth headphones for quieter listening while out and about.

 "If you got a little one, go ahead and grab this!" one parent wrote on the tonies website. "It is on the expensive side, but the hours of enjoyment your little one will get out of this is with it! It's remarkably simple but highly effective at keeping them entertained. You will not be disappointed with this one, and your little one won't either!"

 "Such a cute little Toniebox, absolutely adorable!!!" another parent wrote. "The Toniebox light is durable, lightweight, super easy to use, and keeps my kids entertained for a while. I love that it gives my kids something fun to enjoy without screen time. I can't wait to get more Tonies and build our collection. It's adorable, cute, fun, and would make a great gift."

 And someone else said, "My child loves this interactive toy. I think this is one of the best inventions of the past few years for children. I love that it encourages listening and that they don't have to stare at a screen. My toddler can use this all by herself and navigate the different stories. She can sit for a long time and listen to what she wants with the push of a button."

 Grab the Toniebox Lite for a kiddo in your life and give them so much fun screen-free entertainment that they can take with them anywhere.
