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

Diameter: Ø 7.5 cm.Suitable for children aged 5 yrs. to Seniors
With a fixed set of rules, dice games, card games, and board games are clearly defined activities delightfully free from negotiation with others. For many children, it can be a nice relief to immerse themselves in a game with clear rules as a contrast to free and wild play with their mates at school or kindergarten.
Moreover, playing games gives your child an opportunity to learn to cope with the feeling of losing a game. We suggest not letting your child win every single time you play. Teach your child to cope with the disappointment of losing in a safe setting with you. This builds resilience in your child, which will benefit them later in life when they are on their own and you can no longer shield them from disappointment and defeat.
Helps develop essential skills that are great for your child's well-being and ability to learn new things:
- This type of play improves your child's depth perception. Good depth perception skills help your child stay safe when navigating traffic.
- Benefits hand-eye coordination, a skill we use e.g. when we catch or kick the ball that comes flying towards us in PE class, when we cut a straight line line with a pair of scissors, or when we need to pour a glass of water without spilling and making a mess.
- This type of play develops children's ability to collaborate and put themselves in someone else's place.
