Meet Ms. Rachel: Your Child’s Learning Sidekick
If you’ve ever watched Songs for Littles on YouTube, you know Ms. Rachel is a sensation, captivating millions with her bubbly personality and research-backed approach (we’ll get to that in just a sec!) to early childhood learning. She’s like that favorite classmate parent who also gets the relentless (and incredible) reality of parenting.
Her interactive songs and speech development techniques help little ones build critical skills while having a blast. According to the International Journal of Curriculum and Instruction, Ms. Rachel's educational videos, particularly the Song for Littles, have a positive effect on children's communication skill development when used in conjunction with parental assistance.
Now, as a magnetic Tonie character, she’s paired with the Toniebox 2 to bring 50 minutes of educational fun that tonies® kids can navigate all on their own.
The Ms. Rachel Tonie
The Ms. Rachel Tonie takes your child on sound field trips with her friends, Herbie and Mr. Aron, to places like a lively farm, a bustling school, and a vibrant city. They’ll sing classics like “Old MacDonald” and “Itsy Bitsy Spider,” alongside fan-favorites like “The Phonics Song” and “Big Feelings.”
It’s interactive listening that teaches routines, the alphabet, colors, animals, and feelings. Parents, this Tonie is so perfect for boosting speech and emotional awareness in a gentle, engaging way. For one-year-olds, this is a toy that builds on that “I’m proud of myself” independence, letting them lead their play with tactile, multi-sensory interaction.
Why 1+? Because Every Age and Stage Matters
We believe that toys for one-year-olds should grow with them, and the Ms. Rachel Tonie Toniebox 2 bundle is crafted with this in mind. Our “play their way” mindset puts kids in control, helping that independence skill a little bit every day through intuitive controls designed for little hands.
For a one-year-old, placing a Tonie on the Toniebox 2 is a big win. It offers an “I did it!” moment that builds confidence. The content is tailored for ages 1+, with short, engaging songs and stories that match their developmental stage, like learning animal sounds or identifying colors during Ms. Rachel’s farm or city adventures.
This focus on longevity means the Toniebox 2 evolves with every kiddo. As they grow, they can explore an ever-expanding library of songs, stories, and Tonieplay games, keeping them engaged from 1 to 9+.
The durable design withstands toddler tumbles, and the long-lasting battery with USB-C charging ensures uninterrupted adventures, whether it’s a solo sing-along or a family dance party.
