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 be scoffed at. When your child has one or more hobby horses stabled at home, they can easily engage in physical activity, social play, and imaginative play, all at the same time.
Buy hobby horse accessories such as a riding helmet or armour, or maybe show jumping equipment. Then your little ones are ready to have fun with horse shows or a race in the yard or on the playground, or to be mighty knights on their noble steeds. Hobby horses are a true classic for a reason. That's why all of us at ToyAcademy just love the fact that hobby horses are enjoying quite the revival among children, teenagers, and adults alike.
Does the hobby horse need tack? Then it’s important 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.
This activity supports essential skills which support your child's well-being and ability to learn:
- Stimulates the ability to experience empathy and care.
- Gives your child all kinds of opportunities to unleash their imagination.
- Ideal for group role play, where children get to practise finding their own place in the game and taking turns to leads.
