Real talk
A gift they'll reach for again and again
Most wooden puzzles sit in a cupboard after one week. The Bear Family Dress Up Set is different. Children mix and match outfits to create new combinations every time they play, so the set stays fresh for months. It's the kind of toy grandparents call us about because their grandchild asks for it by name.
You get a toy that teaches, holds together, and passes to the next child looking exactly as it did on day one.
Joe Jaques, Jaques of London
What's in the box
What you receive
A complete ready-to-play set. No assembly, no missing pieces, no plastic wrapper guilt.
Bear figures and outfit pieces
Multiple bear figures with hand-finished wood. Clothing pieces swap on and off without pegs or slots that wear. Each outfit combination teaches a different scenario: a chef bear, a doctor bear, a musician bear.
- ✓ Hand-finished solid wood throughout
- ✓ No small parts that fall off
- ✓ Outfits designed for ages 3 and up
Open-ended creative play
No rules, no winning. Children invent stories as they dress the bears. A 3-year-old sorts colours. A 7-year-old creates a narrative. Both are learning without a screen.
- ✓ Solo play or side-by-side with siblings
- ✓ Encourages storytelling and role-play
- ✓ Develops fine motor skills naturally
Multiple outfit combinations
The set is designed so children never run out of new ways to dress the bears. Each combination feels like a new toy, so the novelty lasts.
- ✓ Dozens of outfit possibilities
- ✓ No boredom between ages 3 and 7
- ✓ Siblings and cousins each find their own play

While they play
What happens quietly while they play
Looks like play. Works like a lesson.
Self-expression
Children choose colours and outfits without instruction. They learn that their decisions matter and that play is theirs to shape.
Hand-eye coordination
Swapping clothes on bears trains the small muscles in fingers and hands. It's harder than it looks, and children feel themselves getting faster.
Problem-solving
Matching colours, thinking of scenarios, and inventing stories all use the same brain pathways as maths and reading.
Language development
Storytelling play is one of the fastest ways a young child builds vocabulary and narrative thinking.

Questions & answers
Questions other buyers ask
Is this the right gift for a 6-year-old?
Yes. A 6-year-old is at the peak age for this set. They're old enough to invent complex stories but still young enough that open-ended play is their favourite. Buying for a 6th birthday? This is the one. Catherine McCulloch wrote: 'perfect gift for any babies' 1st birthday' and that same set is still being played with by her grandchildren at 6 and 7.
Why does it cost more than the plastic version?
Solid wood holds weight in a child's hands. It doesn't splinter, creak, or feel hollow. The finish is hand-applied, so each bear feels intentional. A plastic version costs less because it breaks sooner. This one costs more because it plays for years and passes to the next child. Played for 5 years by 2 children, that is pennies per game. Manda Monium said it best: 'worth every penny full price'.
How quickly can I get it if I'm buying for a birthday next week?
Order by 2pm and it arrives within 2-3 business days. Gift wrap is available at checkout, and families tell us the packaging itself is one of the best parts of the gift. Leigh Hemmings wrote: 'arrived next day, saved Christmas'.
What if it arrives damaged or my child doesn't engage with it?
Send it back within 30 days for a full refund. If any piece breaks in the first 60 days, we replace it. Not the usual tat from China, as John A put it. Toys that don't break after five minutes of play, as Karen Pepper found.
How much does it cost?
The Wooden Puzzle Game - Bears Dress Up Set is £15.57 today (down from £25.99). 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.
Jaques has made toys since 1795 because play is how children think. The Bear Family Dress Up Set carries that belief. We chose solid wood because plastic wears, splinters, and feels like waiting for something better. We built multiple outfit combinations because boredom is the enemy of learning. We made it hand-finished because children notice the difference. This set isn't a distraction, it's a tool for becoming. That's why families come back to Jaques, and why this bear stays in their toy box.
Toys and games that leave something behind: a skill, a memory, a piece of play that gets passed on.
Joe, Jaques of London
