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

Constructing and building is very educational, very fun, and a bit time consuming. We could very easily write a long sales pitch about how building and construction play supports your child's creativity, hand-eye coordination, and fine motor skills as well as understanding of geometry and interest in entrepreneurship.
While playing, your child also gets hands-on experience with problem-solving when it comes to figuring out how to build the construction so it doesn't suddenly fall over. Your child's construction play with all sorts of pieces, blocks, and other building materials stimulates their imagination. And it's just so satisfying to build the longest marble run ever or construct a skyscraper higher than yourself, or to create a super cool domino track and film it as it topples.

- Unleash your imagination and see where playtime takes you.
- Benefits hand-eye coordination, a skill we rely on for instance when we throw, catch, or kick the ball that comes flying towards us in PE class, when we cut in 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.
- Supports your child's spatial awareness, which is vital for their future ability to fold a paper star, draw in 3D, or assemble a moving box.

Do you know Magna-Tiles?
The lovely magnetic building toys Magna-Tiles motivate and challenge children to use geometric shapes to build anything from very simple to very complex structures - just like bridges and footballs both consist of geometric shapes. Magna-Tiles are magnetic on all sides, so they easily stick to each other due to their magnetic properties. They come in many different themes, shapes, and sizes, with mirrors, transparent, and with figures. There is something for every child.Magna-Tiles do not repel each other and can be put together on all sides and edges, because the magnetic poles of the tiles are arranged in a way that allows this. Magna-Tiles are made from ABS plastic, which makes them very durable. The magnets are arranged differently than on Magformers, so Magformers and Magna-Tiles do not fit together. But Connetix and Magna-Tiles fit together perfectly.
They can be cleaned with a damp, well wrung out cloth. They should not be plunged in the sink with the dirty dishes or put in the dishwasher or washing machine. If they do get wet, you can set them upright to dry so the water can drain.
