Real talk

The toy that doesn't end up in landfill

You know the cycle: bright plastic arrives, breaks within weeks, clutters the shed. This skittles set is different. Hand-crafted from solid New Zealand pine, it's built for years of garden play, not a season. Your child learns numbers, coordination, and the quiet satisfaction of a game that actually feels real.

And you get your garden back. No batteries. No noise. Just genuine outdoor time, the kind that wears out legs, not your patience.

Joe Jaques, Jaques of London

While they play

What happens while they're having fun

Looks like play. Works like a lesson.

🎯

Hand-Eye Coordination

Rolling the stick at moving pins builds the precision that feeds into writing, sport, and focus. They don't think they're practising. They're just playing.

🔢

Number Recognition

Counting pins knocked down, spotting which numbers are left standing. Numbers become real things they interact with, not just symbols on a page.

🏆

Concentration

Waiting your turn, tracking the score, deciding which pin to aim for. Quiet focus builds naturally through play.

👥

Social Play

Turn-taking, cheering, friendly competition. All the social skills that screens don't teach, lived through a real game.

Questions & answers

Questions from parents like you

Will it survive garden weather?

Yes. Solid New Zealand pine is treated to handle outdoor conditions. It weathers naturally and grows stronger with use. Rain, sun, seasons,it takes them all. If you want to extend its life further, a light oil once a year keeps it looking fresh.

What's the age range?

From age 3 onwards, it works. Young children love the simple roll-and-knock mechanic. Older kids engage with the numbers, scoring, and strategy. It grows with them.

How much space does it need?

Not much. You can set it up in a small garden corner, patio, or park space. The canvas bag stores everything flat when not in use. A fraction of what plastic game boxes demand.

Can it be played indoors?

Technically yes, on a hard floor. But it's designed for outdoor play. Grass softens the impact and makes the game fairer. Garden or park is where it truly shines.

How much does it cost?

The Skittles Game - Wooden Number Skittles is £24.99 today (down from £38.99). 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.

Games shape childhood. When we hand children something that lasts, we teach them that some things are worth keeping. Jaques has made games since 1795 because we believe play builds character, not just habit. This skittles set embodies that philosophy: solid wood, honest design, the kind of toy that doesn't whisper for their attention but invites it genuinely. Numbers printed on real pins, not screens. Coordination learned through rolling, not swiping. It's how games were meant to be.

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