Jacobs Ladder Wooden Illusion Toy

The Jacob’s Ladder is one of the most ancient and well-known folk toys. Legend suggests that a version was found in King Tutankhamun’s tomb, meaning toys of this type were played with in Egypt before 1352 B.C. When used, it appears as though the wooden blocks fall through one another from top to bottom. To operate the toy, hold the top block and flip it forward so it touches the second block, causing the connected blocks to cascade downward in sequence.

This classic illusion toy is made from wooden blocks joined with fabric ribbons, creating a smooth and continuous motion with each flip. It demonstrates simple principles of movement and sequencing, encouraging curiosity and hands-on interaction. Compact and durable, the Jacob’s Ladder is easy to use, engaging to watch, and suitable for repeated play.

Size: 9.5cm x 5cm folded and 32cm extended.

Material: Wood with Child safe paint, ribbons

Age: 3 +

We like this because: "It is so colourful and fascinating. Even when I take it to pieces I cant work out how the illusion is created."

This is a great small present. Kids are always fascinated as to how this works. They keep coming back to play with it again and again.

Works well and feels nice in the hands.

This is a beautiful ,magical toy that will inspire the curiosity of my young 3 year old twin nephews(I purchased one for each of them!)

A consistently great item have bought it a few times over the years as gifts fir kids.

I received my box of toys within a few days of ordering them which was great. All of the toys I ordered are fantastic. My son is constantly playing with his space puzzle and I even play with the wooden illusion toy. Will definitely be buying more toys from here for my son and as gifts.

I have one of these at the kindergarten where I work and it is very popular with the children. They are fascinated with the way it works. I bought another one to give as a present for a special young person in my family.

Fun to fiddle with and amuse the garndchildren

I love these and haven't seen them since I was little.

It’s over a week since Christmas and our 3 and 5 year old boys haven’t let up with playing with this hardy and versatile toy. They keep coming back to it and are using it so creatively, devising new “tricks” and patterns and uses - together and separately. They have been putting on little “shows” to share their delight with us all. Before Christmas they borrowed one from a friend and shared it between them. This little toy has been a hit. I know, it’s small, simple and inexpensive - but it has a long history... and a mysterious aspect which all of the family has enjoyed -

we had this as children.. had forgotten it. Great mind teaser.

This is blowing all our minds.

Product was exactly as pictured and arrived within a few days which is good for regional Queensland.

Kids and adults love Jacobs Ladder old fashioned but still very entertaining.
