  • Jacob’s Ladder

Description

Our Jacob’s Ladder is an old-fashioned toy made from six wooden blocks measuring 2-1/2 inches by 3 inches that are connected with black cotton ribbon. Hold the top block and watch the others “descend” like someone on a ladder. The Jacob’s Ladder is one of the toys that early American children were allowed to play with on Sundays.
