Real talk

When you need a toy that actually does something

Dolly isn't a toy that sits in a corner. She's built to move alongside a child who's finding their feet, with a gentle wiggling motion that keeps toddlers engaged mile after mile. The wood is solid, the paint non-toxic, and she's light enough for small hands to pull with confidence.

You get a toy that lasts, feels real, and doesn't need batteries or instructions. Dolly just works.

While they play

What Dolly quietly teaches

Looks like play. Works like a lesson.

🚶

Balance & coordination

Pulling a toy while walking builds core strength and spatial awareness. The gentle resistance of Dolly on the string helps toddlers find their rhythm.

💪

Confidence in movement

Having something to pull towards gives little walkers a goal and a sense of control. It makes them want to keep exploring.

🧠

Cause and effect

Dolly moves when they pull. They learn that their actions create results. That's cognitive development happening through play.

🎭

Imaginative thinking

A wooden dog with a friendly face becomes a character in their stories. Open-ended toys spark creativity that screen time cannot.

At what age can they start using Dolly?

Dolly is suitable from 18 months onwards, when most toddlers are confident walkers or finding their feet. She works brilliantly for children through age 4 and beyond, as imaginative play evolves. Every child develops at their own pace, so watch for signs they're ready to pull and explore independently.

Is Dolly safe for outdoor play?

Yes. She's made from sustainable wood with non-toxic paint, so she's built to handle gardens, parks, and all-weather play. The wheels grip well on most surfaces. Just bring her in when you're done so she stays in top condition.

How long will Dolly last?

Solid wood toys are meant to outlast trends and trends. Dolly is built to survive active play, younger siblings, and even the journey to the next family. Many parents pass them down because they still look and work like new.

Does she need assembly or batteries?

No assembly, no batteries, no instructions. Dolly arrives ready to pull. That simplicity is the point. Your child is the engine of their own play.

The Dolly The Dachshund Pull Along Toy is £17.50 today (down from £22.99). Klarna is available at checkout if you prefer to spread the cost.

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.

Pull toys have been part of childhood for centuries, and Jaques knows why. We make Dolly because movement matters at this age. Balance, coordination, confidence in their own body, the independence of play without a screen. She's built from sustainable wood and finished with care because children deserve toys that feel real and last. This is how we've always worked: toys that don't need gimmicks, just good design and honest materials.

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

Joe, Jaques of London
