Skittles Game - Wooden Number Skittles Kids Numbered Skittles (3+ Years)

Orders ship within 2 to 3 business days, with exact delivery timing calculated at checkout based on where you are. Because the set is a complete package (skittles, thrower, and bag all together) there is nothing else to order separately once it arrives. It is ready to play the moment it is unpacked, no extra parts or assembly needed.

The 12 numbered skittles and throwing stick are turned from New Zealand pine, sourced sustainably. It is a solid wood chosen for outdoor play rather than a painted composite or plastic. Each skittle is shaped on a lathe rather than moulded, which is why the set has real weight and a proper wooden feel in the hand, not a hollow one.

Jaques lists this set as suitable from age 3 upwards. The rules are simple enough for a young child to grasp straight away (roll or throw, knock down a pin) while the numbered skittles add a scoring layer that keeps older children and adults involved too. That range is why it works as a genuine family game rather than something a child outgrows after a summer.

Each of the 12 skittles is individually numbered, so points are totalled from whichever pins get knocked down rather than just counting how many fall. This turns a simple throwing game into one with basic maths and light strategy, since players have to add up scores and think about which pins to aim for. It is what keeps adults playing alongside younger children rather than just watching.

SOURCE does not specify a care routine, but the set comes with a canvas storage bag, which points to it being meant for packing away after use rather than left out permanently. The pine pieces are solid wood, so treating them like garden furniture and drying them off after wet play is the sensible approach. The bag also keeps the pieces together so nothing goes missing in long grass.

You get 1 wooden throwing skittle, 12 numbered wooden skittles, and a green canvas storage bag to keep it all together. Nothing else needs buying to start playing. The skittles measure 15cm high by 5cm diameter, and the throwing skittle is 22cm high by 5cm diameter, so it packs down small enough for the bag to double as a carry case.

SOURCE does not give a set pitch length, but the game is designed for garden, park, or holiday play, which suggests it needs open ground rather than a marked court. The skittles stand 15cm tall and are light enough to reset quickly between turns. The canvas bag makes it easy to take to a park or pack for a holiday if your own garden is small.

It is pitched as a screen-free outdoor alternative, encouraging active play, aiming, and resetting pins rather than sitting at a table or screen. The scoring element gives it enough depth that grown-ups play too, not just children, which suits a grandparent wanting one game the whole family joins in with. It packs into its own canvas bag, so it stores easily between visits.
