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

Measures 25 x 22 x 8 cm.Suitable for children aged 0 mos. to 5 yrs.
Playing with hand puppets lets your child practise telling and understanding a story with a beginning and an end. This is an important skill which can be strengthened by telling a story again and again and preferably talking about it along the way, asking questions, and adding your own touch to the story.
When children are learning to understand stories, physical props can be very useful. Hand puppets let children play with telling stories. In addition, they're a very nice way to bring a fairy tale or story to life. The reader telling the story does not get hidden away behind a book but gets to be in active contact with the little listeners, who can actively participate in the story instead of just listening passively.
Hand puppets are great to use together at home and in preschools and nurseries – or for people with dementia or special needs.
This activity strengthens important skills which help support your child's well-being and ability to learn new things:
