A little magic can take you a long way, as Roald Dahl wrote in James and the Giant Peach. Those peachy adventures are heading to the Toniebox with the release of a James and the Giant Peach Tonie figure.
Tonies Character Figures feature handpainted details and a magnetic base so kids can place their chosen character on top of the Toniebox (sold separately) to activate audio stories. The Toniebox is a soft, 5-by-5-inch speaker cube that is designed for screen-free storytelling that kids can listen to out loud or with headphones. Kids can tap the speaker cube to pause or play the story or skip to the next chapter.
Recommended for kids ages 5 and up, the new James and the Giant Peach Tonie has a total run time of 61 minutes, featuring a story read by James Acaster. The classic tale follows a boy named James Henry Trotter, who lives with his ghastly Aunt Sponge and Aunt Spiker. James lives a lonely existence until one day something extraordinary happens: a peach in the garden starts to grow larger and larger. There are seven unusual insects living inside that peach waiting to take James on a magical adventure.
This Tonie is designed to teach kids about friendship, never giving up, and dreaming big. It is available now at tonies.com and specialty stores for $14.99. Tonies also offers figures featuring other Roald Dahl stories and character, including Matilda and the Witches. The Toniebox itself is also available on the Tonies website for $99.99.
