One of the world's oldest toys the Jacob's Ladder was produced in the Americas since the earliest colonial times. It also rumoured that one was found in King Tut's tomb. Jacob's ladders are named for the biblical Jacob who saw a ladder leading from earth to heaven in a vision, have shown up all over the world. 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.
These old fashioned spinning tops spin merrily when you pull the string. A great toy for developing hand eye coordination and having fun at the same time!
Turbina Bug wooden pullback toy (choice of 3 designs). Ladybird, Beetle, and Busy Bee are the true winners of the bug-racing season (each design sold separately). A delightful little surprise present.
