Real talk
No more pulling at your broom
Every toddler wants to do what you do. The Clean and Play Set gives them their own tools that actually work, so they're not grabbing yours. Built from solid wood with proper weight and balance, these aren't toy props - they're real cleaning tools scaled down, and little ones take the job very seriously.
You get quiet occupation for hours while they're building real coordination, confidence and the kind of independence that comes from feeling genuinely capable.
Joe Jaques, Jaques of London

While they play
What they're quietly building
Looks like play. Works like a lesson.
Gross motor control
Sweeping and mopping build the large muscle strength and coordination that form the foundation for all physical movement. Real tools, real resistance, real learning.
Coordination and balance
Managing the broom length, the mop weight, the dustpan angle trains hand-eye coordination and spatial awareness without a worksheet in sight.
Independence and capability
When a 3-year-old can sweep the kitchen floor and see the result, they feel genuinely capable. That confidence ripples into everything else they try.
Life skills and routine
Tidying becomes part of play, not a chore to resist. The habit builds early when it's alongside you and it feels like the most important job in the world.

Why real play matters
Real brain growth comes from real play.
Years of toys done right
Est. 1795. We've watched how children play and learn for more than two centuries. This set carries that knowledge into every piece.
made for ages 3 and up
Toddlers old enough to follow simple instructions. Young enough to be fascinated by doing exactly what you do. The sweet spot for this kind of learning.
Keeps them occupied and learning
Real tools, real work, real satisfaction. Not a 10-minute novelty. Solid wood construction means it survives serious play and siblings too.

Questions & answers
Questions about the right choice for your child
Is it really for ages 3 and up, or younger?
Start at 3 when they can follow a simple instruction like 'sweep here'. Younger toddlers will be fascinated but won't stay with the task. At 3 and up they begin to mirror what you do with real focus, and that's when the learning sticks. By 5 or 6 they're genuinely capable.
Will it actually get played with or will it sit in the corner?
That depends on whether you sweep, mop or tidy near them. If they see you doing it, they'll want their own tools. The moment they make the kitchen spotless and you tell them how brilliant they are, you've created a habit. Parents tell us their children ask to clean, which was never the original plan.
Why does it cost more than the plastic cleaning set on the high street?
Solid wood weighs more and teaches more. Real bristles on the broom mean the child feels resistance and learns actual technique, not just mime. Hand-finished means no sharp edges and no chemical smell. A plastic set is done in 3 months. This one is played with for years and passed to the next child. That's pennies per play over time.
What if they don't like it or grow out of it quickly?
You have 30 days to return it, no questions. In practice, children 3 to 7 stay engaged because the tools actually work and feel real. Older children move on to different play, but by then you've had two, three or four years of use. Younger siblings pick it up immediately.
How much does it cost?
The Clean and Play Set - Toy Cleaning Set is £42.99 today (down from £57.99). Klarna is available at checkout if you prefer to spread the cost.
What's your returns policy?
30 days, full refund, no conditions. Return it for any reason and we refund in full. We've been standing behind what we make since 1795.

Our story
Making toys worth keeping since 1795.
Jaques of London was founded in 1795. We invented croquet, table tennis, and the Staunton chess set. For 230 years, we've been making things that pull children away from passive entertainment and into active, curious, hands-on play.
In 1795 we began by understanding how children play and what they actually learn from toys. Nearly a quarter of a millennium later, that principle hasn't changed. The Clean and Play Set sits in that lineage: solid wood because it endures, child-sized because children notice the difference, and real working tools because pretend play teaches fastest when it mirrors actual life. We make toys that parents trust enough to pass down, and children engage with enough to actually grow from them.
Toys and games that leave something behind: a skill, a memory, a piece of play that gets passed on.
Joe, Jaques of London
