Mini Top
This is the perfect balance top for the tiniest tikes.
It’s so important to stimulate your young child's vestibular sense. One of the very best tools for doing so is this Mini Top.
Diameter: 68 cm
Height: 26.5 cm
The top's high rim protects your child so they don't bump their head against the floor while tilting or spinning. The curved edge helps prevent pinched fingers and lets in air if your child uses the top as a turtle shell.
Suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.
A matching cushion is available for the Mini Top.Â
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

Suitable for children aged 0 mos. to 4 yrs.Your child can simply play with this toy without first having to figure out how it works. There is no wrong or right way to play here, and there are no rules your child needs to follow. Playing in the present moment is the goal here. We call this type of play intuitive play. It's also known as "open ended play". Let your child play by following their intuition and take the opportunity to observe how it unfolds.
As opposed to types of play which are about achieving a particular result, intuitive play will most often let you have a fascinating look into your child’s independent thought process, problem-solving skills, and imagination.
Motor skills furniture is almost the exact opposite of sitting still and staying calm. Being able to rock and roll (literally) can in fact help children with motor restlessness calm down. When your child's proprioception and vestibular sense get more of the stimuli they need to function and thrive, your child has an easier time staying calm. In other words, when your child gets enough sensory input, their body can relax and function better.
Motor skills furniture bought at ToyAcademy is tough and will withstand years of fun, active play.
This activity strengthens important skills which support your child's well-being and ability to learn new things:
- Develops gross motor skills, which are engaged whenever your child engages in physical activity.
- Inspires your child to express themselves and get to know their body.
- Benefits the vestibular sense, which improves balance, vision, and body awareness.
