Rubens Baby - Ben, 45 cm
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 children aged 0 mos. to 8 yrs.
Role play with dolls, dress-up costumes, or play sets teaches your child to think creatively when it comes to their own identity. How does a horse or a sword fighter talk? And what can I do if I'm a dinosaur or a circus performer? Having such reflections while playing strengthens your child's social skills. Imitating activities helps children build up their understanding of the world they live in. When role playing, your child can experiment with boundaries, rules, and opportunities for social interaction and identity formation.
Develops essential skills that really benefit your child's well-being and learning ability:
- Ideal for enhancing your child's ability to show empathy.
- Great for role play, where little ones practise taking turns to lead and finding their own place in the game. This strengthens your child's social skills.
- Strengthens social skills, which, according to early years educators, are more important for children to practise than learning letters and numbers.
