Jacob’s Ladder is a fascinating and absorbing Victorian toy with an interesting history. Known as ‘Magic Tablets’ by the Spanish and apparently highly favoured by Puritans as a quiet toy with biblical connections! It’s an amazing contraption made of slats of wood bound cleverly together with ribbons. It’s movements seem impossible to the eye.

Warning: Not suitable for children under 3 years of age as small parts may present a choking hazard.
