Jumping jack (toy)
The jumping-jack is a toy whose origins date back thousands of years. The jointed jumping-jack figure is a cross between a puppet and a paper doll. The figures are generally made from wood and their limbs are jointed and tied to a pull string. When the string is pulled and released, the arms and legs move up and down.
==History==
Although the jumping-jack is popularly thought of as a European toy, ivory dancer figures made to spin by pulling their strings, which were found at the archaeological site El Lisht and date back to ancient Egyptian times, are considered to be among the earliest forms of this family of mechanical toys.
In the mid-1700s, jumping-jack figures known as “''pantins''” were popular among the French nobility.
In 1832 the ''Hampelmann'' was created by Carl Malss as a figure for the burlesque at Frankfurt. Later the jumping-jack toy became known as ''Hampelmann'' in German-speaking countries 〔''Dtv-lexikon'', Deutscher Taschenbuch Verlag, Munich, 1971, vol. 8, p. 169〕 and were manufactured in the Erzgebirge mountain range in Germany.
