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

Hobby horses are not to be sniffed at. When your child has one or more hobby horses stabled at home, they can easily engage in role play, play with others, and physical activity, all at the same time.
Build obstacles, braid the mane, and organise a show or a race – or build a show jumping competition in your garden or on the playground. Hobby horses are all-time classics for a reason. That's why we at ToyAcademy just love the fact that hobby horses are enjoying a huge revival among children, teens, and adults alike.
Does the hobby horse need tack? Then don't forget to make sure that you get tack of the same brand as your hobby horse. Otherwise, you’re not guaranteed that your new tack will fit your hobby horse.
Helps develop essential skills that are great for your child's well-being and ability to learn:
- Unleash your imagination and see where playtime takes you.
- Strengthens gross motor skills, which are used whenever your child engages in physical activity.
- Ideal for role play, where children practise finding their own place in the game and taking turns to lead. This benefits your child's ability to cooperate and show empathy.
