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 22 x 9 cm..Suitable for children aged 1 yr. to 2 yrs.
Doing puzzles is a fun way to get better at understanding how separate parts form a whole and figuring out where each part needs to be placed in the big picture.
Being able to perceive something visually (with our eyes) and envision a whole (and what parts are missing) is important for learning math and geometry as well as understanding how sentences, sums, or even a piece of knitting, among other things, consist of sequences and patterns.
Often, a puzzle has a special topic or theme, which you can talk about while doing it. This is a great way to strengthen your child's vocabulary about e.g. animals, flags of the world, or our universe.
The activity supports skill development and is great for your child's well-being:
- Helps your child strengthen their fine motor skills.
- Wonderful for enhancing your child's visual perception.
- Strengthens hand-eye coordination, a skill we use for example when cutting a straight line with scissors, pouring water into a glass without spilling and making a mess, or when throwing, catching, or kicking a ball that comes flying at us in PE class.
