Bouncing River Stone Set
This set of 5 River Stones, including 1 Bouncing River Stone (with a bouncy top supported by strong steel springs), is bound to be a big hit in daycares, kindergartens, after-school programs, etc. As soon as children spot the colourful stones, they can’t help but step right on and start jumping, hopping, and balancing.
Playing on the stones helps children develop balance, body awareness, and gross motor skills - and it strengthens their "happiness muscle" too, because jumping from stone to stone is just so much fun.
You can also use the River Stones to make obstacle courses where children have to get from one stone to the next via other Gonge motor skills elements - or by crawling over the sofa, across the armchair, and under the table, and then sliding on their bellies onto the balance board, which they then use to wiggle themselves across the floor, and so on.
What makes this product special
Toys for learning through play
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

This toy has no rules, 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. We call this type of play intuitive play - its also known as "open-ended play". Let your child play by using their intuition and seize the chance to notice how it unfolds.
As opposed to types of play which are about achieving a particular result, intuitive play will often let you have an interesting look into your child’s own thought process, imagination, and problem-solving skills.
With motor skills furniture, your child isn’t supposed to sit still and stay calm. Rocking and rolling can actually help children with motor restlessness find calm. Your child's proprioception and vestibular sense need input to function optimally. And when your child's need for sensory input is met, it's easier for your child to be calm.
Motor skills furniture bought at ToyAcademy is extra durable and can withstand years of active play.
This activity strengthens essential skills which support your child's well-being and ability to learn:
- Motivates your child to get their body moving, which in turn engages their gross motor skills.
- Benefits your child's vestibular sense, which enhances concentration, balance, and learning ability.
- This is a great way for your child to improve their proprioception, which benefits their concentration and helps them build the confidence to use their body in active play.
