Play Food - Birthday Cake with Candles
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
Suitable for ages 3 yrs. to 7 yrs.
Have conversations about what happens to food inside the body, where our food comes from, and when we usually eat it. This develops your child’s vocabulary and knowledge. Toy food is great for imaginative play, which inspires your child to imitate real-life situations such as shopping, cooking, or going to a café.
Role play where children copy real-life activities builds up their understanding of the world they live in. With play food, your child also gets the chance to be silly and play with food in a way that is most likely not tolerated at the dinner table. You can also use the play food to play grocery store and practise writing little signs, coming up with prices and special offers, and practising polite phrases. Your child can take payment at the cash register and give back change, which is a great way of practisting their math skills.
Develops essential skills that really benefit your child's well-being and ability to learn:
- Unleash your imagination and see where playtime takes you.
- Excellent for role play, where children practise finding their own place in the game and not always being in charge. This develops your child's empathy and ability to work with others.
- Strengthens social skills, which, according to early years educators, are more important for children to practise than learning grammar and math.
