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
For example, when your child needs to sit and pay attention to a fairy tale, it’s wonderful to knead and squeeze different kinds of playdough, clay, or sensory slime while listening. It magically sharpens your child’s concentration, even though it is actually a type of distraction.
For very young children, playdough is mainly about the sensory experience. And bigger kids can use playdough to bring their funniest ideas to life. Playdough lets your child make anything from fierce dragons to knights and princesses.
We carry playdough of many different colours and types and with different firmness levels. Firm playdough stimulates your child’s proprioception by providing a bit more resistance. For instance, firm playdough is ideal for making stop motion movies, because it holds its shape better.
It’s a calm activity that can help your child stay still for just 6 more minutes - or help them endure long car or train rides without wiggling about in their seat. Particularly, for children who struggle with motor restlessness, playing with something that activates fine motor skills, hands, imagination, and proprioception while sitting still can create a sense of calm.
Oil-based playdough tends to remain soft for several years. You can soften water-based playdough by adding a bit of water to it.
Of course, all the different types of playdough, sensory slime, and modelling clay you'll find at ToyAcademy are CE-marked and approved in accordance with current toy safety legislation - just like all our other products.
