Miniland have been developing educational toys for children for over 25 years, and in this time they have grown into one of the top educational toy brands in the world. They offer a wide range of toys that encourage children to learn through having fun.

Their mission is to design toys for children that help to develop the necessary skills that are essential for every age group. Their range of skill-building toys can be used by parents and teachers, both in the classroom and at home, to encourage academic learning during playtime.

Their hard work and efforts have been recognised time and again, and they have received numerous Able Play (special needs) and Parenting Choice awards and certificates. Their online blog is renowned for its wealth of information and advice for parents and teachers on subjects like skill-building, emotional intelligence, and preparing for future STEM careers.

So what makes their toys so special? Their process
They have a unique process when it comes to creating educational toys; they don’t simply build toys they think children will like, but ones that have been well thought out and scientifically proven to help children’s development.

They work closely with child therapists, teachers, trendsetters, pedagogy experts, and various universities during the toy development process. This helps them from the beginning to create toys that target skill-building and other essential developmental aspects that are essential to learn from an early age.

They include an educators’ guide within all their packaging to improve the teaching experience of parents and educators and maximize the potential of the toys by ensuring they are used properly.

A multiplay, hands-on experience
At Miniland they believe in developing toys that work on more than just one aspect of development. They have an all-round, holistic view on skill development and education using a hands-on approach and a combination of academics, fun, and technology. Miniland toys and tools enhance the intellectual, social, emotional and physical development of each child. They have been designed to discover and develop new and existing skills and interests in a simultaneous manner, and to uncover the innate intelligences that make each child special and unique.
