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
This type of play is a way for your child to practise understanding and telling a story with a beginning and an end. This is a useful skill, which can be developed by telling a story again and again.
When children are learning to understand stories, physical props are a great help. This delightful play set lets your child practise storytelling. What's more, it's a really good way to bring a fairy tale or story to life. The storyteller is not hidden behind a book but gets to be in active contact with the listening children, who become participants instead of passive listeners.
Great for story telling together at home and in kindergartens and nurseries – or for people with special needs or dementia.
Supports the development of important skills that really benefit your child's well-being and ability to learn new things:
- Ideal for group role play, where children learn about finding their own place in the game and taking turns to leads.
- Strengthens social skills, which, according to childcare professionals and educators, are more important for children to practise than learning math and memorising the alphabet.
