Real talk
The torch that lets you voice the dinosaurs
Felix-type dads know: the best toy is the one you can riff on. This projector torch gives you 6 prehistoric creatures to discover and narrate every night. Your voice, their roar.
No screens, no batteries stress (you bring 2 AA), no five-minute-wonder. Just you, the torch, and whatever story you're telling tonight.
Joe Jaques, Jaques of London

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.
Every torch we make starts with the same question: will a dad want to narrate with it? The Dinosaur Torch & Projector answers that yes. We chose solid plastic, an easy grip for small hands, and 6 different dinosaurs because we know you're not just selling a toy. You're building bedtime moments where your voice becomes the magic. Since 1795, Jaques has made toys that invite narration, not replace it. This one does exactly that.
Toys and games that leave something behind: a skill, a memory, a piece of play that gets passed on.
Joe, Jaques of London
