Jacobs Ladder Wooden Illusion Toy is a one of the most ancient and famous of folk toys. Legend has it that one was found in King Tut's tomb, which means these fascinating toys were played with in Egypt before 1352 B.C.

When it is being used it looks as if the blocks are falling through each other from top to bottom.

To work the toy you hold the handle and flip to touch the second block the blocks then appear to cascade downwards....Fantastic!

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 fasinating. Even when I take it to pieces I cant work out how the illusion is created."

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 - ...
