Summary
'The Frog Race Game' with its original box, which is made of green cardboard, the edges of which are fragile. On the lid of the box, on a printed paper label, is the title; 'The Frog Race / Game / JIGGLE-JOGGLE' and underneath this in two yellow rectangles are what the critics think of the game. The main part of the lid shows a coloured illustration of two women and a man pulling three giant frogs on string across the carpet. Below this in a white rectangle written in two columns is a poem about the game. Inside the lid are two paper labels, the first with a pink background is a copyright notice and the other with a brown-yellow background are the instructions for the game. The contents of the box are three giant flat cardboard frogs, coloured green and in detail on both sides. Each frog has some string attached to it through a hole in the centre, the ends finishing in a knot. Total number of items is five
