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
Role play is a key part of your child's development, because role play improves your child's ability to think creatively about their own identity. How does a turtle or a ninja talk? And what can I do if I'm a dinosaur or a circus performer? Having such ponderings while playing helps to develop children's social skills. Acting out different roles helps children expand their understanding of their own world and daily life. When role playing, your child is able to test rules, boundaries, and opportunities for identity formation and social interaction.
The activity helps your child develop new skills and is great for your child's well-being:
- Supports hand-eye coordination, a skill we use for example when cutting accurately with scissors, pouring a glass of water without spilling and making a mess, or when kicking or catching the ball that comes flying towards us in PE class.
- Supports your little one's proprioception, which is also called the kinesthetic sense or the body awareness sense.
- Excellent for group role play, where children practise taking turns to lead and finding their own place in the game.
