Do you know Melissa & Doug?

For many years now, the aunties and uncles at Toy Academy have enjoyed a good relationship with Melissa & Doug's skilled toy makers. The toy makers have a great understanding of which types of toys children love the most, and which therefore give children's brains and bodies lots of learning by capturing their attention and stimulating their curiosity.

The toys are versatile and durable, and many of them can be used in many ways. This means the toys are extra sustainable, as they encourage versatile ways of playing that do not require additional consumption of the planet's energy and resources. And every single year, the company comes up with new ideas.
