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

What makes this product special
Suitable for children aged 3 yrs. to 7 yrs.
Role play with dress-up costumes, play sets, or dolls teaches your child to think creatively about their own identity. What can I do as a ninja or a dinosaur? How does a doctor or a unicorn talk? These kinds of ponderings develop your child's social skills. Through role playing, your child can test boundaries, rules, and opportunities for social interaction and identity formation, and this develops their understanding of the world around them.
Develops important skills that really benefit your child's well-being and ability to learn new things:
- Ideal for promoting your child's ability to show empathy.
- Great for role play, where little ones practise finding their own place in the game and not always being in charge. This strengthens your child's empathy and ability to work with others.
- Strengthens social skills, which, according to early years educators and childcare professionals, are more important for children to practise than learning grammar and math.

Do you know Maileg?
Maileg was created in 1999 by Dorthe og Erik Mailil, who set out to make toys with soul, personality, and high durability as a counterbalance to fast trends and throw-away culture. The name Maileg is a mix of the founders' surname and the Danish word for play. Based in Herning, Denmark, Maileg designs animal figures, Christmas elves, and accessories full of ""hygge"" and Scandinavian design.Maileg's elves, mice, and figures are made with immersive, calm play in mind. It's all about creating worlds and immersing yourself in stories with toys whose quality and appearance will last for years. Your child gets to form a close, heartfelt bond with their toys and the adorable little mice and elves.
Maileg is all about high quality in the details and materials of their toys. Their designs speak to both young and old playful souls. Not all Maileg products are toys - some of the mice, elves, and other figurines are purely decorative. But the Maileg universe is so great at sparking the imaginations of children and other playful souls that we're happy to offer even the more delicate, display-only pieces to our customers regardless.
