Use of all senses
LED lights behind the disc give subtle response when tapping an image. Thus TIMIO creates a complete visual, auditory and tactile experience.

Interactive
Unlike other kids' audio players on the market, TIMIO is interactive. Not only does it allow kids to select the content they’d like to play, but TIMIO will also invite the child to respond to questions. Kids are more engaged and this interactivity reinforces the learning process.
Listening and learning
TIMIO is ideal to help kids learn new words, songs and even stories. And because TIMIO doesn't have a screen, kids can expand their vocabulary while doing other things at the same time.
Stories
Sometimes a busy life gets in the way of a quality story-time ... and that's unfortunate as stories can be so magical! Rely on TIMIO's narrator's soothing voice to accompany your little one in the magical world of fairy tales.
Piano
For the little artistic spirits that are already showing an interest in music, we've got you covered! With TIMIO kids can start learning different instrument sounds, the different music notes and even compose their own little tunes.
Sleep
As important as sleep is, some days it can be difficult to make it happen. Unfortunately, TIMIO can't help you with baby's bath-time but it's definitely there for you when you need lullabies and calming sounds, like nature sounds and white noise, to make your baby quickly fall asleep.
