Real talk
The gift that stays when you leave.
You can't be there every weekend. What you can do is give them something they reach for every time,a toy that feels like you thought about exactly who they are. This Wooden Aeroplane isn't another screen or a thing that breaks after two weeks. It's solid wood, finished by hand, and it gets better with age and play.
Every time they hold it, they're holding something from someone who picked it for them. That matters more than you might think.
Joe Jaques, Jaques of London
What's in the box
What you're giving them.
One hand-painted solid wood aeroplane, ready to fly straight out of the box. No batteries, no assembly, no instructions needed,just imagination.
The Aeroplane
Solid wood construction, hand-painted with non-toxic paint. Weighted in the hand like a real toy,not hollow plastic. Smooth surfaces, no splinters, designed for toddler grip.
- ✓ Solid wood, responsibly sourced
- ✓ Hand-painted details
- ✓ Fits naturally in small hands
Gather crew, load luggage, take off.
Role-play is built in. They'll be packing, announcing destinations, making sound effects, snapping pretend photos at the gate. Solo play or with siblings. Keeps them off screens.
- ✓ No batteries or screens
- ✓ Works alone or with others
- ✓ Endless travel narratives
Built to outlast trends.
Not designed for the landfill. The solid wood and hand-finished paint mean it survives years of dropping, dragging, and being loved hard. Then it passes to a younger sibling or cousin.
- ✓ Solid wood doesn't snap
- ✓ Hand-painted finish withstands wear
- ✓ Gains character with age
Order by 2pm, plays this weekend.

While they play
What quietly happens while they play.
Looks like play. Works like a lesson.
Fine motor grip
Rolling, tilting, steering. Hands get stronger. Fingers learn control without a screen telling them what to do next.
Narrative building
Where's the plane going? Who's on board? What happens next? Their brain is planning, storytelling, solving problems.
Understanding the world
Travel, destinations, planes, crew roles. Montessori-aligned: they're learning about how things work and where people go.
Shared play
Siblings, cousins, friends all play together. No screens, no arguments over turns. Real conversation happens.

Questions & answers
Questions grandparents usually ask.
Is this the right toy for their age?
The Wooden Aeroplane is designed for ages 2 and up. At 2, they're rolling and holding. By 4, they're building full travel stories. It grows with them without getting boring or outgrown in weeks. If you know their age, you know this fits. As Catherine McCulloch put it: 'Perfect gift for any babies' 1st birthday.'
Will it actually last, or will it break?
Solid wood doesn't snap the way plastic does. The hand-painted finish is tough enough for real play. John A said it best: 'Not the usual tat from China.' Parents report these toys surviving years of drops, drags, and being handed between siblings. That's why we offer a 60-day returns promise and back it with real craftsmanship.
When will it arrive? I'm buying for a birthday.
Order by 2pm and it arrives this week. Most orders ship within 2 to 3 business days. Leigh Hemmings shared: 'Arrived next day, saved Christmas.' We also gift-wrap at no extra cost, so it shows up ready to give. Check your local postcode at checkout for exact dates.
Why does this cost more than the plastic version at the supermarket?
Because it's made to last. Solid wood, hand-painted, weighted in the hand,not hollow. You're not buying a toy that dies. You're buying something they'll play with for years, then pass to a cousin or younger sibling. Manda Monium put it plainly: 'Worth every penny full price.' Heirloom toys cost more upfront because they cost nearly nothing per year of play.
How much does it cost?
The Wooden Aeroplane - Toddler Toy Plane is £24.00 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.
Since 1795, Jaques has made one bet: that children play better with something real in their hands. No screens, no batteries, no plastic that cracks. This Wooden Aeroplane is that bet, refined. Solid wood, hand-painted by craftspeople who've been doing this for generations, designed so toddlers grip it, imagine with it, and remember you by it. You're not buying a toy for this season. You're buying something that travels into their memory and, later, into their own child's hands.
Toys and games that leave something behind: a skill, a memory, a piece of play that gets passed on.
Joe, Jaques of London
