Creative Tonies aren’t just characters; they’re blank canvases for your imagination.
With Creative Tonies, you can upload your own stories, songs, jokes, or heartfelt messages to play on the Toniebox 2. That means you and your kids can turn listening time into something truly personal, fun, and unforgettable.
Whether you’re recording a bedtime adventure, creating silly tales with our ad-lib story templates, or sending a surprise message from loved ones in Montreal or across the prairies, Creative Tonies make every Toniebox 2 experience unique.
Create Lasting Memories with the Whole Family
Storytelling is a timeless way to connect, and Creative Tonies make it easier than ever to bring those moments to life. Families across Canada can:
- Build Interactive Adventures: Use the ad-lib story templates to build fun stories together, perhaps featuring a friendly moose or a family trip to Banff or the Cabot Trail. (Check out the templates below!)
- Connect Across the Kilometres: Have grandparents record bedtime stories or lullabies, even if they live far away in Newfoundland or B.C. It’s like getting a hug from afar!
- Capture Family Fun: Record goofy songs, sound effects, or inside jokes only your family will understand, maybe about a Tim Hortons run, a chilly tobogganing trip, or weekends at the cottage.
These recordings become keepsakes, replayed again and again, turning ordinary days into cherished memories that celebrate your family's unique Canadian flavour.

Imagine gifting a Creative Tonie that already has a parent’s lullabies, a sibling’s jokes, or even a birthday message uploaded.
