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

This adorable Christmas pig is the perfect December cuddle buddy.
Measures 16 x 26 cm.Suitable for children aged 0 mos. to 7 yrs.
Role play is a key part of your child's development, because role play teaches your child to think creatively in terms of their own identity. What are my superpowers as a sword fighter or a giant? How does a doctor or a dragonfly talk? These kinds of thoughts benefit your child's social skills. When role playing, your child gets the chance to learn about rules, boundaries, and opportunities for identity formation and social interaction, and this stimulates their sense of their own world and daily life.
The activity is great for your child's well-being and ability to learn new things:
- Develops the ability to feel care and compassion.
- In role play, your child recreates everyday situations through play, imitates us adults, and creates their own universe.
- Helps your child develop a feeling of safety.

Do you know Maileg?
Maileg was founded in 1999 by Erik og Dorthe Mailil, who set out to make durable toys with personality and soul as a counterbalance plastic toys and throw-away culture. The name Maileg is a mix of the Danish word for ""play"" and the founders' surname. Based in Herning, Denmark, Maileg creates Christmas elves, dollhouses, and toys that radiate nostalgia and Nordic simplicity.Maileg's dollhouses, mice, and elves are made with slow, calm play in mind. It's all about creating worlds and immersing yourself in stories with toys whose quality and appearance will last through years of play. Your child gets to form a heartfelt and close bond with their toys and the adorable little mice and elves.
Maileg is all about high quality in the materials and details of their toys. Their designs speak to both young and old playful souls. Not all Maileg products are meant to be played with - some of the mice, elves, and other figurines are purely decorative. But the Maileg universe is so great at sparking children's imaginations that we're happy to offer even the more delicate decorations to our customers regardless.
