Real talk

The gift that stays in their hands, not on a shelf

You can't be there every weekend. But this can be. A wooden skittles set isn't just a game, it's the thing they pull out when they want to show you something, the thing they remember you by. 12 numbered skittles, a throwing stick, and enough replay to wear out the lawn.

Catherine McCulloch put it simply: 'perfect gift for any babies' 1st birthday'. But it grows with them. A 3-year-old learns to count. A 6-year-old competes. A grandparent gets a reason to hear their voice.

Joe Jaques, Jaques of London

While they play

What they're actually learning

Looks like play. Works like a lesson.

🔢

Number Recognition

Each skittle is numbered 1,12. They read them, call them out, keep score. Counting becomes a game they ask to play.

👁️

Hand-Eye Coordination

Rolling the stick, watching where it lands, aiming the next throw. Every game builds steadier aim and body awareness.

🤝

Turn-Taking

Skittles is built for 2+ players. They learn to wait, watch, cheer, accept a loss. Games teach what screens can't.

💭

Strategy

Which skittle to aim for? How hard to throw? Even young players start thinking ahead. That's play that matters.

Why real play matters

Real brain growth comes from real play.

Unpack and place

Lay out the 12 skittles in a cluster. No assembly, no setup beyond that. Ready to play in 30 seconds.

→

Take turns rolling

One player rolls the stick. It knocks down skittles. Count the numbers, keep score. Simple enough for a 3-year-old, strategic enough for an adult.

→

Play again

Set them up. Roll again. They'll ask to play once more, and again after that. Gardens have been won and lost on this game.

Questions & answers

Questions grandparents usually ask

Is this the right game for their age?

Yes. It plays from age 3 (counting and rolling) through to adults (competitive strategy). Buying for a 6th birthday? This is the one. For a younger sibling first game? Also this one. The numbers grow with them, younger kids count, older kids compete on scores.

How long does it actually last?

Our customers tell us 10+ years of regular garden play. The solid wood doesn't warp or crack like plastic. Many sets we sell now are replacements for ones people bought a decade ago and wore out through genuine use, not because they broke, but because the whole family played them to death. That's the compliment we want.

Will it arrive in time for the occasion?

Order by 2pm UK time, arrives Tuesday. If you're further away or it's urgent, check the delivery option at checkout, we move fast. The canvas bag is packed gift-ready, so you could give it straight from us if you need to. arrived next day, saved Christmas, Leigh Hemmings.

What if they don't like it or it arrives damaged?

30-day returns, no questions. If anything's damaged when it arrives, email us, we replace it. We've backed our products since 1795 because standing behind what we make isn't a policy, it's how we've always worked. Not the usual tat from China, John A.

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 making games that bring people together for 231 years. Wooden skittles have always been at the heart of that, simple enough for a child to play, engaging enough for a grandparent to want to play too. Every set is hand-finished from solid New Zealand pine because we've learned that weight and touch matter. A plastic skittle rolls different. Feels different. Is forgotten different. This one gets carried to the park, brought on holiday, and passed down. That's what we make.

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