Phoney by Mexistuff • MexiStuff

WHAT IS PHONEY?

In a perfect world, we’d all try to use our phones less in front of our children.
But most of us have jobs, messages to answer, and people who rely on us.
Phoney is a bilingual (English–Spanish) tool that looks like a board book designed to help parents of babies and toddlers gently reduce how much their children see them using a phone.
It includes a discreet compartment that fits phones as large as an iPhone Pro Max. Phoney also includes child friendly pages so If a child wanders over, instead of seeing a screen, they’ll find friendly farm animals, the sounds they make, and simple sensory activities the parent can show and engage their child with.

HOW IT WORKS

Place your phone inside the hidden compartment.
Use your phone as needed — messages, emails, work
If your child approaches, switch over to the book pages and show them the fun farm animals, the sounds they make or a simple sensory activity.

No setup or instructions to follow — just options.

Key Features

Engagement-First Design: If your child wanders over, they don’t see a distracting screen; they see vibrant illustrations and simple sensory activities you can do together.
Quality Construction: Built with the durability of a classic board book to survive the hands (and mouths) of curious toddlers.
