Read all about what they’re made of and how to use them right here.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
Your child uses lots of different skills at school, and every day they're learning new academic, social, mental, and physical skills all at the same time. Practising one or two academic skills at home with you in a relaxed setting can make school a better experience for your child.
With educational games, puzzles, and other kinds of playful learning activities, your child can gradually get better at number recognition, logical reasoning, small multiplication tables, writing, and other academic skills.
Maybe you have the kind of child who can’t get enough of fun school activities and wants to have more letters, logic, and numbers at home. Or maybe your child isn't in school yet but can't wait to get started and learn a bunch of stuff just like their older friends or siblings. Keeping school-related toys around at home is a great way to introduce your child to playful, enjoyable learning so they can play themselves smarter whenever they want.
