Real talk

Stops the screen scroll. Builds the skills they measure at the gate.

You've watched another child nail hand-eye coordination at drop-off. This velcro target game is the quiet fix: 10 minutes of throwing, sticking, and aiming teaches precision and focus without anyone noticing it's learning. Three soft balls mean two kids play at once, and the inflatable target folds flat for storage.

In two weeks of regular play, you'll see steadier aim and longer focus stretches. That matters before school starts.

While they play

The skills that quietly build while they play

Looks like play. Works like a lesson.

🎯

Hand-eye tracking

Every throw teaches the brain to judge distance and aim. The immediate stick/miss feedback loops learning faster than watching.

💪

Fine motor control

Gripping the ball, adjusting the throw angle, and releasing smoothly builds shoulder and arm coordination.

🧠

Focus and patience

Three balls mean three chances to get it right. They learn to concentrate on one shot, not rush to the next.

👥

Turn-taking and cheering

Two kids playing teaches waiting, celebrating the other's hit, and friendly competition without screens.

Questions & answers

Questions parents ask before buying

Is this the right game for a 3-year-old, or should I wait?

Start at 3. The soft balls are safe, the throwing action is fun even if aim is wild, and the immediate feedback (stick or miss) teaches them fast. By 4 or 5, they'll show real precision. If buying for a 6th birthday, this is the one they'll play outside with a friend. Catherine McCulloch calls it a perfect gift for any age.

Will the velcro actually last, or does it wear out?

The velcro is rated for hundreds of throws. It doesn't degrade the way cheap adhesive does. Customers report the balls still stick cleanly after two years of weekly play. If the velcro does fade in five years, you can replace the balls for a fraction of the price. John A says it's not the usual tat from China.

Can I play this indoors without wrecking the house?

Yes. The soft foam balls are gentle enough for walls and furniture. Parents use it on rainy afternoons in the living room. The target stores flat, so no clutter. Just make sure you have about 2 metres of clear space and a wall or garden fence as backdrop.

If it doesn't work out, what's the return process?

30-day returns, no questions. Ship it back, we refund or replace. Most parents see play within the first week, so this rarely happens. Manda Monium says it's worth every penny full price.

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 been building games since 1795, and this velcro target set carries the same rule we've always kept: make it to outlast the fad. We chose soft foam balls over hard plastic, velcro over cheap adhesive, and an inflatable target over cardboard because this game needs to survive birthday parties, garden seasons, and being handed down. Hand-eye skill matters before school starts, and so does knowing your child is playing outside, not down a screen.

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