Our home is mostly screen free and the tonie box has been our best investment. He got it for Christmas when he was 2.5. Every holiday he normally gets a new tonie (Easter basket, boo basket, stocking stuffer, birthday). I LOVE how these can grow with his changes. Our daughter is almost 11 months and she’s already learned how to use it herself. She picks her own tonie out & puts it on.
