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

Measures 21,7 x 18,8 x 16 cm..Suitable for ages 18 mos. to 3 yrs.
Supports the development of important skills that really benefit your child's well-being and ability to learn:
- Strengthens hand-eye coordination, a skill we rely on for instance when we throw, catch, or kick a ball that comes flying at us in PE class, when we cut a straight line line with scissors, or when we want to pour water into a glass without missing.
- Stimulates your child's proprioception, which benefits their concentration and gives them the confidence to use their body in other types of active play.
- Supports your child's understanding of cause-effect, which has to do with the understanding that one thing (the cause) leads to another (the effect).
