A fascinating and traditional Victorian novelty, the Jacobs Ladder is made of brightly painted slats of wood bound (in a secret way!) with ribbons to make them click-clack downwards as you turn it from side to side.

Folded height: 75mm (3inches)

A Jacob's ladder is a folk toy consisting of blocks of wood held together by strings or ribbons. The Jacob's Ladder folk toy, also known as 'tumbling blocks' dates back to the Victorian times. When the ladder is held at one end, blocks appear to cascade down the strings. However, this effect is a visual illusion which is the result of one block after another flipping over. Its name Jacob's Ladder comes from the biblical ladder to heaven, mentioned in Genesis 28:12.

Jacobs ladder

So lovely to be able to buy a traditional Woden toy from years past.

Purchased these as gifts for school children who have been learning all about toys from the Victorian Times. The children were fascinated with them.

Excellent quality gift at a competitive price!

Shop guilt-free and save the planet

OFFSET YOUR CARBON FOOTPRINT WITH EVERY PURCHASE!

As an online business I always have this guilt feeling of the impact on the environment that it may cause with the daily running of my computer equipment etc, the deliveries of stock to us and the deliveries of orders to the customers.

Now The Forgotten Toy Shop has teamed up with Ecologi and with every order placed a tree will be planted.
