"My sixth grade students loved these! They buy from my classroom store with "Bucks" they earn. They asked me to buy more "Jacob's Ladders" as the first order I purchased sold really fast! I would highly recommend these. They are very intriguing to the kids and they have fun playing with them!"

Quality good, but one concern
Date: February 1, 2010
"I was delighted to find these Jacob's ladders in such high quality for a good price. The wood is very solid and sturdy. The paint is even and neatly done. Because we were planning to use these as favors for a very nice baptismal reception, we wanted to make sure that everything was near perfect. Upon our initial order of 1 dozen, the ladders have "orientaltrading.com" as well as PO and a series of numbers imprinted on every blue wood square. I called Oriental Trading to see if this was a mistake or if we were going to see this on the remaining 14 dozen we were going to order. They went back to the warehouse and within a couple of days, confirmed that every ladder has this. If you don't mind this printing, then this is a perfect vintage toy. I am not sure why Oriental Trading imprinted this info since they have not done so on any other items I have ordered. In fairness to the customer, that imprint should be disclosed by Oriental Trading. I would have given this product the highest mark possible, but had to take it down one notch due to the unexpected imprint."

great retro toy

"These took me back to the 50's! I kept two for myself, and the others will be great Christmas presents. I hope my younger recipients will know how to "work them!" The price for a dozen was certainly good, and the quality is better than I expected. Very pleased."

"my little ones were fascinated with what they could do with this simple toy. mainly, it kept their hands occupied when they had to sit for a while. fits great in the pocket of a pair of cargo pants to carry around and use when needed.. colors are bright and toy seems to be well constructed."

"The Jacob's Ladder was very well packed, colorful and pleasing. Would have perfect if there were instruction for the kids, honestly for the adults! The wood was sanded quite well and the colors vibrant. Great to find a gift that requires no batteries and no wires. Love classic toys, thank you!"

Fun For All Ages

"These toys are awesome. The ladder is made well and is very durable. It stood up to me playing with it as well as a four year old. All of the elementary and middle aged kids that were given this couldn't stop playing with them. I have seen many Jacob ladders being sold for $2-$4 dollars each. I have had no problem with the ribbon or wood coming apart. You will not be dissapointed by this product.
If you type in Jacobs ladder tricks into a search engine you will find good descriptions and videos on how to perform tricks."

They're fun
Date: August 24, 2009
"I bought these for one of our prizes to give out at VBS, and they were popular. These are good size and quality is pretty good. I wish there was an instruction with different tricks. If you don't know how to play with these, they're not useful at all. One teacher knew 1 trick, so he showed us. An instruction is definitely necessary here!"

Great for kids and parents
Date: July 19, 2009
"These were the main gift if a birthday goodie bag, so I was ok with paying a little more for one gift. I've seen these at craft shows for a lot more $ so the price is good for 12 of them. The parents and kids both loved them. the bright colors are fun. I only wish they came with instructions for different tricks you can do with them."

Fun product
Date: April 30, 2009
"I purchased these for Christmas bags to go to an orphange in Uganda. The adults are having great fun with them. They seem to be fairly well made with ribbon between two thin blocks to create the thickness needed to make the ladder work."

Fun toy for all ages...
Date: March 23, 2009
"I purchased these on a whim for my 8-yr-old son's birthday party goodie bags because I remembered them from when I was a kid. They turned out to be the biggest hit from all the kids. Most had never seen them before, and they were all fascinated with watching them flip over and over. My son has played with his daily for the past week! I love the fact that they are wood and ribbons, and not plastic. So far, no breakage and lots of fun!"

ehh..
Date: February 9, 2009
"These were fun for the teenagers that helped unpack them but not sturdy enough for the kids that they were intended for. Colors are good but the ribbon was too loose and would not last very long. This would be a disposable toy for sure.. Too bad. it is fun to play with if you are careful!"
