Deluxe Shut the Box - 9 Numbers Deluxe Shut the Box set (3+ Years)

This version is the 9 numbers Deluxe Shut the Box, with double-sided number slats running 1 to 9. It comes with 2 playing dice and a wooden frame, which suits younger children starting out with counting and addition rather than more advanced tallies. If you are choosing between Jaques number ranges, pick this one for a child around the suggested age of 6 to 7 who is still building basic number confidence.

Jaques suggests this set for children aged 6 to 7. At that age the game works well as a hands-on way to practise counting and addition, either played alone or with an adult guiding. The dice and number slats keep the maths simple enough for early learners, while still asking them to reason through which numbers to close. It is a good fit for a child just starting to enjoy solo problem-solving.

Players roll the 2 dice and use the total to shut down matching number slats, numbered 1 to 9, on the wooden frame. The aim is to close as many slats as possible, working out combinations that add up correctly. It encourages children to explore different number pairings to solve each roll, which builds reasoning skills alongside basic addition. Play can be independent or guided by a parent.

It is a wooden frame, described by Jaques as the Deluxe Wooden Shut the Box Frame. The number slats are double-sided, running 1 to 9, and it comes with 2 dice. Being wooden and lightweight, it is described as travel-friendly, so it holds up to being packed for journeys and handled repeatedly by children without relying on plastic parts.

The set includes 1 Deluxe Wooden Shut the Box Frame, double-sided number slats numbered 1 to 9, and 2 playing dice. That is everything needed to start playing straight away, with no extra pieces or accessories to buy separately. The double-sided slats are part of the frame itself, so there is nothing loose to lose track of between games.

Yes, Jaques describes it as lightweight and travel-friendly, and sized for little hands. This makes it practical for playing at home or taking on journeys, without needing much table space. It is a compact, screen-free option for keeping children occupied on the go, and its wooden frame is built to be handled and packed repeatedly.

Jaques designed it specifically to build counting confidence, addition practice, and number knowledge through play. Children work out combinations from their dice rolls to shut the correct slats, which encourages mathematical reasoning as they explore different number pairings. It suits both independent practice and guided learning with an adult, making it a practical screen-free way to reinforce early number work.

It works well as a gift for a child around 6 to 7 who is starting to build number skills, since it needs no batteries, apps, or extra setup. Jaques of London has made games since 1795, and the set plays straight from the box with just the frame, slats, and 2 dice included. It suits solo play or games with a parent, so it has a use straight away.
