Real talk

Six weeks. No 'I'm bored' if the game doesn't break by week two.

Cheap plastic sets crack by August. This one doesn't. Made from solid New Zealand pine and hand-finished at our workshop, the Wooden Number Skittles set is built to take a fortnight of constant play and still be standing for next summer.

You get your garden back, the kids get a reason to be outside instead of asking for screen time, and you get to watch them actually compete with each other instead of competing with a tablet.

While they play

What happens while they're having fun

Looks like play. Works like a lesson.

🎯

Hand-eye coordination

Aiming and rolling builds the same control they need for throwing, catching, writing. Real physical skill, not screen-tapping.

🧠

Concentration

Watching the pins, calculating the bounce, keeping score. They're focused on something actual, not scrolling.

👥

Social skills

Taking turns, keeping score together, celebrating someone else's win. The whole point of a game that needs other people.

💪

Fitness without feeling like PE

Running to fetch pins, bending, throwing. Six weeks of outdoor movement that doesn't feel like exercise.

Get ready for life

Why real play matters

Real brain growth comes from real play.

Unpack and place the skittles

Set up takes 30 seconds. Lay them out on flat ground, grab the throwing stick, you're ready.

→

Roll and knock pins

Player rolls the stick toward the pins. Whichever pins fall add their number to the score. Simple enough for a 3-year-old, engaging enough for adults.

→

Next player takes a turn

Keep playing until someone hits 50, or just play for 20 minutes and move on. No rulebook, no timer, no stress.

Questions & answers

Questions parents ask before ordering

How old do they need to be?

Three and up can play. Younger children love knocking pins over even if they don't keep score. Teenagers and adults stay competitive. One set grows with them.

Will it survive rough play?

Solid New Zealand pine and hand-finished, so yes. Rain won't rot it, dropped pins won't split. We back it with a 30-day return guarantee because we know it's built.

How do I know it will actually get here in time?

Order by 2pm and it ships within 2-3 business days. If you're buying for a birthday, we wrap it and include a gift note at checkout. No hidden delays.

Will they actually play with it or is it a garden ornament?

It's a game, so yes, they'll play. No screen to compete with, no rules argument, no batteries dying mid-game. Parents tell us their kids ask to play it even after the holidays are over.

How much does it cost?

The Skittles Game - Wooden Number Skittles is £24.99 today (down from £38.99). 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 make this set because durable outdoor games solve the real problem: six weeks of school holidays, kids at home, and the guilt creeping in when screens fill the gap. A solid wood skittles set isn't clever or trendy. It's just made properly, costs more up front, and still works when next summer arrives. That's why we've been making games since 1795 and why families buy them for grandchildren. One good set beats ten plastic ones that don't make it to July.

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