Real talk
The moment she forgot about the iPad
Most mums tell us the same thing: their child sees them cleaning and wants to join in, but the real broom is too big and they end up getting in the way. The Clean and Play Set changes that. Child-sized tools that actually sweep, mop and dust mean your little one can work alongside you, genuinely helping, for as long as you're tidying.
Twenty minutes of being useful. Twenty minutes of screen-free focus. And the quiet knowledge that she's learning real skills that matter.
Joe Jaques, Jaques of London
What's in the box
What comes with it
A complete working set designed to child height, with everything stored neatly on a wooden stand when playtime ends.

While they play
What it quietly teaches
Looks like play. Works like a lesson.
Gross Motor Control
Sweeping, mopping and dusting demand balance, coordination and strength. Real tools, real resistance, real learning.
Focus and Sequence
They learn the order of tasks: sweep first, then mop, then tidy. That's executive function without a screen in sight.
Genuine Capability
These tools actually work. When they sweep dust into the pan, they feel genuinely competent. That builds confidence faster than any tablet praise.
Being Part of Family Life
Not playing in a corner alone. Doing real jobs alongside you. That's connection and independence rolled into one.

Questions & answers
Questions most parents ask
Is it really the right size for my 4 year old?
Yes. The handles and tool heads are built for hands aged 3-5. Your child can stand next to you and actually reach the ground and sweep real dust. That's the whole point. Not a toy version that frustrates them, but tools that work properly at their height.
Will it last, or will it snap after a week?
Solid wood, hand-finished, weighted for real use. Parents tell us their child has played with it daily for years. One customer said, 'Not the usual tat from China' and she was right. Your 5 year old may pass it to a younger sibling in a few years, and it'll still work.
How long will my child actually play with it?
Most mums report 20+ minutes of screen-free focus when playing alongside them. The best part: they're learning real skills at the same time. Independence, coordination, the rhythm of a tidy space. Once they start, they keep asking to help with the real cleaning.
Is this really worth the price versus plastic alternatives?
You're buying years, not months. One customer said it's 'worth every penny full price.' Plastic snaps, warps or bores quickly. This set works year after year. Cost per year of play drops fast. And when your second child uses it, the cost per child drops again.
How much does it cost?
The Clean and Play Set - Toy Cleaning Set is £42.99 today (down from £63.99). 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.
We've been making toys since 1795. The Clean and Play Set starts from a simple truth: children learn best when they're doing real things alongside the people they love. Not pretend versions that frustrate them. Real tools, solid wood, weighted to work properly. Your child sees you cleaning, wants to join in, and finally can. Twenty minutes of genuine help. Twenty minutes of screen-free focus. Skills that stick because they're learning from life, not watching a screen.
Toys and games that leave something behind: a skill, a memory, a piece of play that gets passed on.
Joe, Jaques of London
