Tonies Smokey Bear

For over 70 years, Smokey Bear has been a symbol of wildfire prevention.

In the spring of 1950, in the Capitan Mountains of New Mexico, a young bear cub found himself caught in a burning forest. He took refuge in a tree, and while managing to stay alive was left badly burned. The firefighters who retrieved him were so moved by his bravery, they named him Smokey. Since the forest is the only home we have, we have to do our best to protect it.

This Tonie teaches kids aboutSmokey’s Five Rules of Wildfire Prevention, the Story of Smokey Bear, and facts about the forest.

• Ages 5+.
• Total Run Time: 55 minutes.
• Includes: 14 songs and stories.

The Toniebox uses audio storytelling to introduce pre-readers and developing readers to the wonders of narrative long before children can read the words in a book. When children combine Tonies with play, they unlock the real wonder of storytelling – a mix of fascination, surprise, curiosity and a craving for exploration all stirred together. Through this, they discover powers within to create and transport themselves to worlds and wonders all on their own.
