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

Suitable for children aged 3 yrs. to 11 yrs.
Hobby horses are not to be sniffed at. If your child has one or more hobby horses stabled in their room, they have plenty of opportunity for physical activity, imaginative play, and strengthening their social skills, in fun horse games.
Build obstacles, braid the mane, and organise a race or a show – or maybe set up a show jumping course in your garden or on the playground. Hobby horses are classics with good reason. That's why we just love the fact that the hobby horse is enjoying quite a revival among both children and adults.
Does your child want a bridle, a halter, or other tack for their hobby horse? Then remember to make sure that your tack and your hobby horse are the same brand. Otherwise, you’re not guaranteed that your new tack will fit your hobby horse.
Develops essential skills that really benefit your child's well-being and ability to learn:
- Strengthens your child's ability to express care and empathy for other people.
- Encourages your child to let their imagination soar.
- Perfect for group role play, where little ones get to practise finding their own place in the game and taking turns to leads.
