The Petanque Sets We’re Slightly Obsessed With
One of our favourite discoveries from Ratatam! has to be their gorgeous petanque sets. A timeless family game with a playful, design-led update, these sets are made for long summer afternoons, relaxed family gatherings and holidays where simple entertainment becomes the highlight of the trip.
Perfect for the garden, the beach, picnics or weekends away, petanque is one of those rare games that genuinely works for all ages. Easy to learn and endlessly replayable, it’s the kind of activity that brings everyone together from little ones learning to throw for the first time to competitive grown-ups who suddenly become very invested in winning.
Beautifully packaged and easy to take away with you, they also make brilliant gifts for families who love outdoor play and screen-free entertainment.
Designed for Travel & Everyday Play ✈️
Ratatam! toys also make brilliant travel companions. Lightweight and easy to pack, they are ideal for holidays abroad, UK staycations, weekends away and spontaneous adventures closer to home.
Whether packed into the car, taken to the beach or brought along for a picnic in the park, these are toys children return to again and again.
