Leading audio platform for kids, tonies®, has two new Clever Pocket Tonie sets with Alphablocks and Numberblocks. The educational, four-piece Clever Pocket Tonie sets mark the brand’s first collaboration with Blue Zoo Licensing.
The British multi-award-winning Alphablocks and Numberblocks animated series debuted on the BBC’s CBeebies channel back in 2010 and 2017 respectively, and are now available in over 100 countries. With over 10 million subscribers on official YouTube channels, Alphablocks and Numberblocks attract daily YouTube viewing figures of over 10.5 million.
Fans of both series can ‘listen and learn’ thanks to the audio magic of the Toniebox.
The Alphablocks Clever Pocket Tonies collection includes two hours of story and song content across four themed Tonies: Vehicles, Animal Friends, Rhymes and Bedtime. Alphablocks focuses on phonics and supports children, parents and teachers on their reading journey. It can also sit alongside existing phonics programmes and national curriculum learning to engage kids with letter sounds, building and reading words, and gaining confidence.
The Numberblocks Clever Pocket Tonies collection also features two hours of content, with themes including Space, Hexagon Island, Vehicles and Monster Friends. Numberblocks helps children to see how numbers really work and master a new key maths skill with every adventure. It’s a story of friends who can always count on each other − but, most of all, Numberblocks is about having fun with numbers.
Commenting is Lucia Kreuzer, GM UK & IE for Tonies UK.
“At tonies® we love to encourage a passion for learning and our Tonie figurines offer children thousands of hours of engaging story, song and educational audio content. A recent study with FUNdamentally Children, including 100 children aged 2-5 years, has shown that in just four months of using the tonies® range in their daily routine, children improved on every competency measured – comprehension, language skills, and attention.
“We are thrilled to launch our new educational Clever Pocket Tonie range in conjunction with Alphablocks and Numberblocks, to help little listeners develop their literacy and numeracy skills in a fun and interactive audio format that will help them excel in school and life.”
