Real talk
The 20 minutes your child doesn't ask for the iPad
You're not alone. The screen guilt is real, and so is the relief when your 3 or 4 year old picks up a toy and you get actual quiet. The Push & Play Pet Set is four chunky wooden animals,each one designed to fit a toddler's grip, smooth enough for tummy time, engaging enough to keep them busy while you make a cup of tea.
It's the kind of thing that sits in their hand unprompted, gets carried from room to room, and becomes the toy they actually ask for by name. That's how you know it works.

While they play
What it quietly teaches
Looks like play. Works like a lesson.
Motor skills
Gripping, pushing, and carrying build the hand strength and control they need before school. From reaching in tummy time through to running pushes.
Animal recognition
Early learning through play. Each character becomes familiar, then named. Language blooms naturally from what they hold in their hand.
Sensory exploration
The weight, the wood, the smoothness. Real textures and heft, not plastic. That's how babies and toddlers learn what things actually feel like.
Independence
No instructions, no screens, no batteries. They lead the play. That builds confidence and imagination from the earliest months.

Why real play matters
Real brain growth comes from real play.
Perfect gift for a 1st birthday
Babies grasp and explore. The Push & Play Pet Set grows with them through reaching, crawling, and sensory play. One set, years of use.
The toy they ask for by name
By 3 or 4, each animal has a story. They're pushed across the floor, carried room to room, and honestly requested over screen time.

Questions & answers
Questions parents ask about the Push & Play Pet Set
Which one should I buy? We're not sure what age it's right for.
Buying for a first birthday or baby under 2? This is the one. It grows with them from reaching and grasping through crawling and pushing, all the way to age 4+. One set plays across the entire early years. That's why it's the most-gifted set we make.
Is it really worth the price compared to plastic push toys?
Yes. Solid wood, hand-finished, weighted so it feels real in their hand,not hollow like plastic. Parents tell us it plays for years and gets passed on. That's pennies per year of play. Karen Pepper put it best: 'Toys that don't break after five minutes of play.' Buy once, use for years, pass on.
How do I know it's good quality and safe?
It's solid wood, hand-finished, no small parts, no batteries, no chemicals. Our 60-day returns guarantee means you can hold it in your hands first. John A said it clearly: 'Not the usual tat from China.' This is British-made, built to last, and proven by 231 years of making toys that parents trust.
What if it doesn't arrive in time for the birthday?
Order by 2pm and we ship within 2-3 business days. If you're within the UK, that means it arrives fast. Leigh Hemmings told us 'it arrived next day, saved Christmas.' And our gift wrapping arrives in our signature Jaques box,no extra steps from you.

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.
In 1795, John Jaques invented the modern board game. For 231 years, we've made toys that children actually play with,not the ones parents hope they'll like. The Push & Play Pet Set is no different. It's four wooden animals designed for the way real babies and toddlers explore: through their hands, at their own pace, screen-free. Not because screens are evil, but because your child develops faster with something real to hold. That's why grandparents buy this set alongside parents. It's the toy that replaces guilt with quiet time,and genuine play.
Toys and games that leave something behind: a skill, a memory, a piece of play that gets passed on.
