Magic and mechanics: the Jacob’s ladder in action

Perfect for introducing children (and big kids) to the ideas of gravity and motion.

Bought this for my 9 year old son and he hasn’t put it down since it arrived. He sat at the kitchen table for ages trying to work out how the blocks seem to flip over and over without ever coming apart, then spent the evening showing his dad. Turns out it’s all down to the ribbons crossing over behind each block, which I rather enjoyed finding out myself. Colours are bright and it clicks away nicely.

Got this for our grandson’s birthday. Big smile when he opened it and he’s been showing everyone. Lovely little thing.

Does exactly what it says and the cascade effect is rather hypnotic. Lovely smooth wooden blocks and good colours. Only reason it’s not five stars is that it’s a touch smaller than I pictured from the photos, but my daughter doesn’t seem to mind one bit.

the toy itself is decent and keeps my nephew occupied at his desk. But the delivery took nearly two weeks, well past the date I was given, so it missed his birthday and I had to give him an IOU. Fine once it turned up, just a shame about the wait.

bought this for my grandson Alfie who’s seven and he hasn’t put it down since the postie dropped it off. He keeps shouting “Nan, come and look!” and flips the blocks over again and again, grinning like mad. Chuffed to bits, and so am I.

Spot on. Cracking little desk toy.
