Other ideas for the tonies® Advent Calendar

We know Christmas is a busy ol’ time and you might not be up for filling all the pockets with different bits and bobs, so we’ve got these two great Tonie options too!

The Little Reindeer’s Christmas Wish

So, pop him in each day of the tonies® Advent Calendar and let them settle down with a new story in the countdown to Christmas.

A Creative-Tonie Christmas treasure hunt

Little elves pop their Tonie on the Toniebox, listen to the clue and then race off to find the hidden treats. Simply record a new clue each day and pop it in the day of their tonies® Advent Calendar. The treats can be anything from chocolatey goodness to mini toys, hidden all over the house! Need some inspo for clues? We’ve got you covered! Check them out here.

So, hang the calendar up on the wall and watch their excitement mount as the days to Christmas tick by. We’d loooooove to see what you fill their calendars with - share your creations with us on Instagram by tagging @tonies_uk.

When the big day comes to a close, you can roll it up and store it away - safe in the knowledge that it will be looked forward to, reused and loved just as much next year.

Amy’s favourite Tonie is Matilda. From a very young age, she was utterly obsessed with Matilda. She watched and read it so many times that she practically had the whole script memorised. As she grew older, she remained just like Matilda, a bookworm, a trickster, and a dreamer!
