The Toniebox character with ‘brilliant stories’ can be essentially picked up for free via a cashback deal
Tonieboxes have taken the children’s toy market by storm. With screen-time an increasing concern for parents, audio players that remove this problem have boomed in popularity.
The Toniebox is among them, which is designed for children to place toy characters on top (called Tonies) which then play music and stories to keep little ones busy for hours. They’re created with youngsters in mind, meaning they’re robust, squishy and tumble-proof.
And one of the most popular Tonies comes from the huge TV show, Paw Patrol. The Jungle Pups Marshall character usually costs £15 at Argos, but we’ve found a way shoppers can effectively grab one for free.

It comes via TopCashback, where new members who sign up here benefit from a £15 cashback bonus when spending £15 or more at a participating retailer. That means that new members who buy the Tonie via TopCashback will basically get it free, once cashback has been applied.
The calculated price includes free click and collect from an Argos store, while for those wanting it delivered, postage is from £3.95. The audio on the Marshall Tonie runs for around 45 minutes, including four stories and the theme song.

The tales centre around teamwork and problem-solving through playful rescue missions. It should be noted that a Toniebox speaker is required but sold separately.
There are alternative options available besides the Toniebox, including the YOTO Mini, a screen-free Bluetooth audio player that plays stories and music. It’s priced at £64.99 from Yoto and works with physical cards that ‘lets kids explore their imaginations as they explore the world‘.
Meanwhile, for a more visual toy, the Clementoni Disney Storytime Projector with Narration features eight story cards and is designed to keep toddlers entertained. That’s £27.52 at Amazon.
Reviews of the Paw Patrol Tonie have been mostly very positive, with an average of 4.9 stars out of 5. One said: “A favourite in our house! The theme tune pulls my little one in straight away and the story keeps him entertained.”
Another continued: “I bought this last week, and my little one absolutely adores it! Great buy!”
A third added: “Fab Tonie, my Paw Patrol-obsessed three-year-old (is) a very happy boy.” While another said: “My daughter absolutely loves this, brilliant stories and great for bedtime routine and to reduce tech.”
Of the 14 reviews left to date, 13 awarded the full five stars, while just one review gave four stars, writing: “My grandchildren love listening to them every afternoon before they have their naps.”
However, they didn’t elaborate on why they had deducted a star. One thing worth noting is at the full price £15 Tonie characters are more expensive than standard toys, so parents will need to take care to ensure they aren’t lost down the back of the sofa.
