Rubens Baby - Carl, 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 ages 0 mos. to 8 yrs.
Role play with dress-up costumes, play sets, or dolls teaches your child to think creatively in terms of their own identity. What are my superpowers as a knight or a dinosaur? How does a queen or a horse talk? These kinds of reflections stimulate your child's social skills. Through role play, your child gets the chance to learn about rules, boundaries, and opportunities for social interaction and identity formation, and this develops their understanding of the world they live in.
The activity is great for your child's well-being and ability to learn new things:
- Strengthens your child's ability to show empathy and care for other people.
- In role play, your child creates their own universe or imitates us adults.
- Inspires your child to practise social skills, for example being able to wait their turn, lose, trade toys, or listen, being patient and tolerant, and making an effort to read the situation.
