My First Rocking Horse
Once your child can sit securely on their own, usually from around 10–12 months, they can enjoy the gentle, fun rocking motion of this rocking horse.
As your child's confidence and balance grow, the wooden safety rail can be removed, and the backrest lowered – turning the rocking horse into a favourite that lasts for years.
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

Motor skills furniture is almost the exact opposite of sitting still and staying calm. Rocking and rolling can actually help children with motor restlessness find calm. When your child's proprioception and vestibular sense get more of the input they require to work at their best, your child has an easier time staying calm. In other words, when your child gets the sensory input they need, their body is able to relax and function better.
Motor skills furniture from ToyAcademy is extra durable and can withstand years of active play.
The activity is great for your child's well-being and ability to learn new things:
- Motivates your child to get their body moving, which in turn engages their gross motor skills.
- Strengthens your child's vestibular sense, which develops concentration, balance, and learning ability.
- Brings out lots of laughter and silliness.
