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 3 yrs. to 7 yrs.
Animal figures are a bit of a classic children’s toy. You'll probably see your child use them for all kinds of imaginative role play. Maybe the animals live on a farm or at the zoo – or maybe they take off on an adventure to the supermarket. The play with imagining what the animals experience stimulates the ability to come up with funny stories and express them.
Or maybe the animals enjoy being stacked, sorted, counted, or arranged according to their initials or the number of letters or syllables in their names. The animals are also ideal if your child is learning math and needs to work out how many animals you'll each get if you are three people and share them equally between you.
The activity is wonderful for your child's well-being and ability to learn new things:
- Having a theme or a topic that you can talk about while playing builds up your child's vocabulary.
- Wonderful for curious Georges.
- Excellent for role play, where little ones practise finding their own place in the game and taking turns to lead. This supports your child's ability to cooperate and show empathy.
