Real talk
The 20 minutes they forgot to ask for the iPad
Every little one who's watched you get ready wants a go. The Wooden Makeup Set gives them their own proper kit, all the tools of the trade in solid wood, all completely safe. Hairdryer, mirror, comb, lipstick, nail varnish, perfume bottle and two colourful compacts.
Every time they pick up the comb or twist open the lipstick, they're building fine motor skills and the kind of imaginative confidence that stays with them. That's the gift that makes little ones feel like the most glamorous person in the room.
Joe Jaques, Jaques of London

While they play
What it quietly teaches
Looks like play. Works like a lesson.
Fine motor skills
Every twist, comb stroke and mirror tilt builds finger strength and hand control. The movements they need before writing.
Self-expression
Role play as a grown-up, try new behaviours, express feelings through pretend. The foundation of confidence.
Imagination
No screens, no scripts. They invent the story, narrate the play, decide what happens next. Open-ended play builds creative thinking.
Sustained focus
One toy, no notifications. 20-minute stretches of deep play train attention spans and independence.

Questions & answers
Questions parents ask
Is it really solid wood? Won't it splinter?
Yes, solid wood throughout. Hand-finished to a smooth, splinter-free surface. Safe for little hands. We test every batch and guarantee against defects for 60 days. John A said it best: Not the usual tat from China.
Will my 4yo actually play with it, or is it a cupboard toy?
The Wooden Makeup Set is one of our bestsellers because it mirrors what children see adults doing every day. If your child watches you get ready, they will play with it. Sustained, imaginative play that often surprises parents. Manda Monium told us it's worth every penny full price because her daughter played with it for years.
How long does delivery actually take? I'm buying it as a birthday gift.
Ships within 2-3 business days. Order by 2pm and it ships the same day. Leigh Hemmings bought one last-minute and told us it arrived next day, saved Christmas. We also wrap gifts beautifully, and you can request gift wrapping at checkout.
Is this the right gift for a 3, 4 or 5 year old?
Yes to all three. The fine motor play (twisting lipstick, combing hair, opening compacts) starts at age 3. The imaginative role play deepens from 4 onwards. It's built to last and grow with them. Catherine McCulloch gave it for a 1st birthday and the child is still playing. made for siblings or cousins of different ages.

The Wooden Makeup Set - Toy Make Up is £15.28 today (down from £28.99). Klarna is available at checkout if you prefer to spread the cost.

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.
We've made toys since 1795 because we believe play teaches what school can't. The Wooden Makeup Set is no exception. It's designed so children build fine motor skills, self-expression and imaginative confidence through pretend play that mirrors the real world around them. Solid wood, hand-finished, no batteries, no screens. Made to be played with hard and passed on. That's the Jaques way.
Toys and games that leave something behind: a skill, a memory, a piece of play that gets passed on.
Joe, Jaques of London
