Real talk

Built to last, not built to be binned

Every piece is wood you can hold and repair. No glued-in batteries, no plastic connectors that snap after two summers, no parts you can't find again. This is the target game your grandchild will inherit still working.

You're not buying this season's fun. You're buying a game that works the same way in 2035 as it does now.

Joe Jaques, Jaques of London

While they play

What it quietly teaches

Looks like play. Works like a lesson.

🎯

Precision and aim

Hitting the target requires focus and hand-eye coordination. Games build these skills naturally, without screens or worksheets.

👥

Turn-taking and rules

Whether it's 2 players or 6, target games teach children to follow order, respect boundaries, and celebrate others' successes.

💪

Strength and balance

Throwing, standing, and aiming all build core stability and gross motor control that tablets don't touch.

🌞

Off-screen time

Garden games keep children outside, moving, and talking to each other. No batteries required. No app updates.

Questions & answers

Questions from parents and grandparents

Which age should I buy this for?

Buying for a 5th or 6th birthday? This is the one. Children aged 3-7 learn best from it because the soft balls are safe and the targeting keeps them engaged without frustration. Older children enjoy the competitive element. There's no age ceiling: adults play it too.

Is the wood going to splinter or rot if it's left outside?

The frame is hand-finished and sealed to handle garden weather. Bring it in over winter if you're in a very wet climate, or cover it with a basic tarp. The wood won't rot if you give it basic care. If a joint does loosen, you can re-glue it yourself, and we'll send you a replacement part under warranty if needed.

How long does it take to set up?

Under 2 minutes. Inflate the internal core by hand or pump (pump not included, but any standard hand pump works), stand it on flat ground, and you're playing. No tools, no assembly instructions to decipher, no frustration before the game starts.

What makes this worth more than the plastic version?

The plastic version costs less upfront but gets binned within 18-24 months. This one plays the same in 5 years as today, then passes to your grandchild. That's the heirloom math: a better cost per game when you count the years. Plus, solid wood feels different in your hands. It doesn't flex or rattle. You can feel the care built into it.

How much does it cost?

The Target Ball Game - Velcro Target Game is £24.00 today (down from £34.99). 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 games for families since 1795. We still do, because we believe a game should outlast the childhood it's bought for. The Target Ball Game carries that same logic: solid wood you can repair, soft balls that won't break on impact, a frame built to survive decades of garden summers and birthday parties. We didn't invent garden games; we perfected them by refusing to make them disposable. That's the Jaques difference.

Toys and games that leave something behind: a skill, a memory, a piece of play that gets passed on.
Joe, Jaques of London
