River Stones Nordic - Set of 6
Classic Gonge River Stones in Nordic colours.
Staying on the River Stones without falling off is a balancing act. But playing with River Stones boosts coordination, improves balance, and sharpens spatial awareness, and it's super fun and physically challenging all at once.
It’s also a great way for kids who struggle with fear of heights to practise in a safe, confidence-boosting way. The River Stones are inspired by the smooth stones found in rivers. They come in various shapes and sizes, which offers different levels of difficulty.
It's fun to place the stones on the floor with suitable spacing between them and then let children jump from stone to stone without touching the floor. River Stones have rubber pads on the bottom to keep the stones from slipping and protect the floor.
The River Stones are made from recyclable PP plastic.
A set includes 6 River Stones: 3 large (36x36x36 cm, height: 8.5 cm) and 3 small (25x25x25 cm, height: 4.5 cm). Maximum load: 100 kg. Also suitable for seniors and rehabilitation exercises.
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

This toy has no rulebook or right or wrong ways to play, and your child can simply play without worrying about how to use it. The goal is simply playing and being in the present moment. At ToyAcademy, we call this type of play intuitive play - its also known as "open ended play". Let your child play by following their intuition and take the opportunity to notice how it unfolds.
Unlike types of play which are aimed at achieving a particular result, intuitive play will often let you have a fascinating look into your child’s own problem-solving skills, imagination, and thought process.
“Sit still and stop rocking the chair” doesn’t apply with motor skills furniture (thankfully). Being able to rock and roll (literally) can in fact help children with motor restlessness keep calm. Your child's proprioception and vestibular sense need input to function well. And when your child's need for sensory input is met, it's easier for your child to stay calm.
Motor skills furniture bought at ToyAcademy is durable and can withstand years of fun, active play.
This activity strengthens essential skills which help support your child's well-being and ability to learn new things:
- Helps your child get their body moving, which in turn stimulates their gross motor skills.
- Inspires your child to express themselves and get to know their body.
- This is a great way for your child to enhance their vestibular sense. The vestibular sense helps us to spin in circles, stand on one leg, or ride in a car without getting dizzy, losing our balance, or getting car sick.
