Real talk
The 20 minutes your child forgets to ask for the iPad
The Jungle Fun Puzzle Set is three wooden puzzles in one box: a giraffe, a lion, and a crocodile. Each fits into its own sturdy wooden board. No learning curve, no setup, no mess. Your 3, 4, or 5-year-old picks it up and plays.
You get the thing you actually want: 20 quiet minutes where the tablet stays in the cupboard, and her hands learn to solve problems instead of swipe.
Joe Jaques, Jaques of London
What's in the box
What arrives in your gift wrap
Three painted wooden animal puzzles, each with its own board. Water-based colours, sustainably sourced wood, hand-finished by Jaques craftspeople.
Giraffe Puzzle
Tall, spotted, and bright. Fits into its wooden board. Painted using safe, water-based colours and designed for small hands to grip and place.
- ✓ Wood construction, hand-finished
- ✓ Works for ages 12 months and up
- ✓ Plays on its own or with a second child
Lion Puzzle
Maned and bold. Your child matches the piece to the board, presses it in, and feels the satisfaction of fit. No pegs, no pressure, just a clear right answer.
- ✓ Teaches cause and effect in seconds
- ✓ Weight and finish give tactile feedback
- ✓ Stays sturdy through hundreds of plays
Crocodile Puzzle
Long, green, and textured. The third animal in the set gives your child a reason to come back: rotation. She plays the giraffe today, the crocodile tomorrow.
- ✓ Sustainably sourced wood throughout
- ✓ No toxic finishes or sharp edges
- ✓ Built to be handed down or gifted
Plays for years. Passed to siblings or cousins. Pennies per play.

While they play
What grows quieter than you'd notice
Looks like play. Works like a lesson.
Problem-solving
She doesn't get told the answer. She discovers which way the piece goes. That's the skill the school will need.
Nimble fingers
Gripping, rotating, pressing down. Every puzzle play strengthens the hand strength and control she'll use to hold a pencil.
Focus and patience
No rush, no timer, no ding. She works at her own pace and learns that doing one thing well feels better than switching every 30 seconds.
Independence
No grown-up has to teach her. She picks it up, plays it, masters it. That quiet confidence matters.

Questions & answers
Questions parents always ask
Buying for my granddaughter's 4th birthday. Will she like it?
Perfect. The Jungle Fun Puzzle Set is designed for ages 2,6 and works best around 3,5 when she can grip and place with confidence. The three different animals keep it fresh. As one of our customers said: 'perfect gift for any babies' 1st birthday, Catherine McCulloch'. This set grows with her.
How long does it actually hold up?
Solid wood, hand-finished, no cheap varnish. Our guarantee covers it until 31 January 2027. Parents tell us: 'Not the usual tat from China, John A' and 'Toys that don't break after five minutes of play, Karen Pepper'. They're built to be played with hard and passed on to siblings or cousins.
Is the paint safe for a 2-year-old who puts things in her mouth?
Yes. We use water-based colours, no toxins, no harsh finishes. The wood is sustainably sourced and smooth. If your child is under 18 months and still mouthing everything, the giraffe and crocodile are solid enough that you can supervise. From 2 upwards, she'll play normally.
What if she doesn't like it?
30-day returns, no questions. But most children this age play puzzles for 20+ minutes per session. If she doesn't, we'll take it back and refund you. Your risk is gone.
How much does it cost?
The Wooden Kids Puzzle - Animal Puzzle is £13.92 today (down from £20.99). 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.
Plays for years. Passed to siblings or cousins. Pennies per play.

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.
Jaques of London has made toys since 1795. We've watched childhood change. Screens arrived. Attention spans shrank. But the human child hasn't. She still needs to touch, rotate, fit, and solve. The Jungle Fun Puzzle Set is Jaques doing what we've always done: making play that teaches without a screen. Sustainably sourced wood, water-based colours, hand-finished in Britain. No batteries, no subscription, no guilt. Just a puzzle that gets better every time she plays it and lighter every year she keeps it.
Toys and games that leave something behind: a skill, a memory, a piece of play that gets passed on.
Joe, Jaques of London
