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

Get answers to frequently asked questions about telescopes here
For instance, if a telescope has 27x magnification, something which is 27 metres away from you will appear in the telescope as if it's only 1 metre away.
An adult should help your child assemble the telescope and teach them how to focus and get a sharp image.
Remember that price and quality usually go hand in hand when it comes to telescopes. Telescopes for children are great for introducing your child to STEM and astronomy for a reasonable price. The big aha moments will probably come with a more advanced telescope, which will be in a higher price range, with more features and higher magnification.
