The activity helps your child develop skills and is great for your child's well-being:

• Unleash your imagination and see where the play takes you.
• Perfect for role play, where little ones practise finding their own place in the game and not always being in charge. This develops your child's social skills.
• Motivates your child to practise social skills, such as being able to wait their turn, lose, trade toys, or listen, being tolerant and patient, and trying to read the situation.

Suitable for children aged 3 yrs. to 6 yrs.

One of the many reasons why we celebrate magic tricks is that they bring together creativity, imagination, fine motor training, and performance. For children who are shy, magic tricks can encourage them to perform in front of others in their finest magician outfit. Standing up in front of everyone and performing magic tricks at morning assembly or grandma’s birthday takes courage. But performing can really boost your child’s self-esteem, because your child gets to experience the feeling of success and joy from their practice paying off, remembering their routine, and making people happy - all in a safe environment.

They say it takes 10,000 hours to become an expert at something. But fortunately, you can make do with less. However, concentration and practice at home are important in order to master magic tricks and illusions. In our category of magic sets and magic tools, you'll find tricks that will let your child impress their audience with dexterity and skill after 3-4 tries, as well as tricks that are slightly more challenging for your child's fine motor skills.

From around the age of 5, children can learn to master simple tricks, while older children can find more difficult challenges in our magic category .

Do you know Melissa & Doug?

For many years now, the Toy Academy aunties and uncles have enjoyed a great relationship with Melissa & Doug's skilled toy makers. The toy makers have great insight into which types of toys children love to play with the most, and which therefore capture their attention, stimulate their curiosity, and give their brains and bodies lots to learn.

Every year, the Melissa & Doug collection bursts with new ideas, and our range is a goldmine of gift ideas for educational play. The playthings are durable and versatile, and many of the items can be played with in several different ways. This adds to the sustainability of the toys, as they offer lots of different play opportunities that do not require extra consumption of the planet's energy and resources.
