Real talk
One toy that doesn't end up in landfill.
Every parent knows the feeling: a living room full of plastic that breaks in a week, beeps at 3am, and costs a fortune. The Wooden Campervan is the opposite. It's heavy in the hand, quiet, and built to survive years of play and pass it on to the next child. Solid wood. No batteries. No guilt.
Your child gets hours of real storytelling and role play. You get the peace of mind that comes with fewer, better things.
Joe Jaques, Jaques of London

While they play
What quiet play builds
Looks like play. Works like a lesson.
Hand-Eye Coordination
Gripping, placing, and stacking small wooden pieces strengthens the fine motor skills that later support writing and dexterity.
Imagination & Narrative
Without a screen directing the story, children invent plot, dialogue, and world-building. Every play session is unique.
Independence & Choice
Open-ended play with no 'wrong' way means your child leads. They decide the journey, the characters, the ending.
Social Play
Siblings and friends naturally take on roles. The campervan becomes a setting for shared storytelling and cooperation.

Get ready for life
Why real play matters
Real brain growth comes from real play.
Unpack and play the same day
No assembly, no pieces missing, no batteries to hunt for. Open the box and the adventure starts immediately.
Watch quiet play happen
No beeping, no screen glow. Your child sits down and narrates stories for 1, 2, sometimes 3 hours straight.
Pass it on or keep it forever
Hand-finished solid wood doesn't wear out. Many families pass it to a younger sibling, cousin, or friend. Still plays like new.

Questions & answers
Questions parents ask
What age is this right for?
Ages 2 to 6, and beyond. Toddlers enjoy moving characters and opening play; older children use it for detailed storytelling and small-world role play. Many families keep theirs through primary school. A grandmother bought one for her granddaughter's first birthday and watched her play with it for years before passing it to a cousin.
Is it really solid wood throughout?
Yes. The campervan body is solid wood, hand-finished and painted. The 4 characters are carved solid wood, painted by hand. No plastic components, no composite filler. Heavier than you'd expect, which is why it doesn't tip or rattle. As one parent told us, 'Not the usual tat from China. Worth every penny full price.'
How long does delivery take?
Ships within 2 to 3 business days. Many UK orders arrive within a week. If you're ordering for a birthday and need it by a specific date, check the calendar before checkout and we'll let you know the likely arrival window. Gift wrap is also available to add before you buy, so it arrives ready to give.
What if we're not sure about the quality once it arrives?
You have 30 days to return it if it's not what you expected. We also offer a 60-day warranty on all products, so if anything feels loose or unfinished after the first play sessions, we'll put it right. Nearly every family who takes one home keeps it, but we want you to feel confident first.
How much does it cost?
The Wooden Campervan is £26.99 today (down from £35.99). 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.
For 231 years, Jaques has made toys that children remember. We pick solid wood and hand-finishing because they take longer and cost more than plastic, but they last. The Wooden Campervan is built for quiet play, for imagination without screens, and for being passed on. It's the kind of toy a parent buys once and never has to replace. That's what we mean by longevity.
Toys and games that leave something behind: a skill, a memory, a piece of play that gets passed on.
Joe, Jaques of London
