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
For instance, when you need to sit and pay attention to a story, it’s wonderful to squeeze and knead various kinds of clay, playdough, or sensory slime while listening. It magically sharpens your child’s concentration, even though it is actually a form of distraction.
For small children, playdough is mainly about the sensory experience. And older children can use playdough to bring their funniest ideas to life. With playdough, your child can make anything from pink elephants with spots to princesses and knights.
We carry playdough of many different types and colours 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 well.
It’s a calm activity that can help your child sit still for just 6 more minutes - or help them deal with long car or train rides without fidgeting and moving around in their seat. In particular, for children who experience a lot of motor restlessness, fiddling with something that stimulates fine motor skills, hands, imagination, and proprioception while sitting still can help them stay calm.
Oil-based playdough remains soft for several years. You can soften water-based playdough by mixing in a bit of water.
Naturally, 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 regulations - just like all our other products.
Supports the development of important skills that really benefit your child's well-being and ability to learn:
- Gives your child's fine motor skills a playful workout.
- Benefits your child's visual perception.
- A wonderful way to support your child's tactile sense. A well-developed tactile sense can benefit your child's well-being.
