Body Wheel - Large
The Body Wheel is an exciting new way to get moving, helping build strength while boosting balance and coordination.

For babies, the Body Wheel offers a gentle way to build neck and back strength while lying on the wheel, supported by an adult. If you have several Body Wheels, you can line them up to create a fun crawl-through tunnel.
This blue Body Wheel measures 59 cm in diameter and supports up to 100 kg.
It has a soft synthetic rubber edge to help prevent bumps and bruises during play.
Suitable for ages 3–99
Please note: also available in a smaller size and as a bundle.

Play is essential for children’s learning, well-being, and development. Through play, children learn about themselves and the world around them.
Play helps children:
• stay curious
• focus and become absorbed in what they're doing
• take on age-appropriate challenges
• build confidence
We believe children learn best by doing things for themselves:
• by making mistakes
• by getting messy
• by falling down and getting back up again
Resilience, confidence, and courage grow through experience, one small step at a time.
That's why we carefully choose toys that encourage independence, imagination, movement, and social skills — offering just the right balance of support, freedom, and opportunities to grow.
Carefully selected toys
We carefully handpick every toy from the vast world of toys available today. The only toys that make it into our range are ones we'd be happy to give our own children.
Every toy at ToyAcademy should:
• support learning through play
• be made from durable, high-quality materials
• be safe and enjoyable for children to play with

Suitable for ages 3 yrs. to SeniorsThis toy doesn't have any rules or right or wrong ways to play, and your child can simply play with it without having to think about how to use it. The goal is simply playing and being in the present moment. At ToyAcademy, we call this type of play intuitive play - its also known as "open ended play". Let your child play by using their intuition and take the opportunity to watch how it unfolds.
Unlike types of play which focus on achieving a result or playing within specific boundaries, intuitive play will often give you an interesting look into your child’s independent thought process, imagination, and problem-solving skills.
“Sit still and stop rocking the chair” doesn’t apply with motor skills furniture (thankfully). Being able to rock and roll (literally) can in fact help children with motor restlessness calm down. When your child's proprioception and vestibular sense get more of the input they need to work optimally, your child has an easier time staying calm. This means that, when your child gets the sensory input they need, their body can relax and function better.
Motor skills furniture bought at ToyAcademy is durable and can withstand years of active play.
