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 8 yrs.
This type of play lets your child practise telling and understanding a story with a beginning and an end. This is a useful skill, which can be developed by telling a story again and again and preferably talking about it along the way, asking questions, and adding your own touch to the story.
Props can make a story or fairy tale come alive. In this way, the reader telling the story is not hidden behind a book but gets to be active and in contact with the listening children, who become participants instead of passive listeners.
Great for story telling at home with your child and in kindergartens and nurseries – or for people with special needs, such as dementia.
The activity is wonderful for your child's well-being and ability to learn:
- In role play, your child imitates us adults and experiments with everyday situations or their own universe.
- Inspires your child to practise their social skills in a safe home environment.
