The ladder simulates a folding step ladder and the chair simulates a hard back wood chair. The wood flowers in a cart ornament is actually a miniature wheelbarrow with three pansies in a bed of wood shavings. The wooden egg cups are packaged six in a set and are each painted with a different design, while the wooden Easter wording is also a set of six blocks with a letter on each to arrange and spell "Easter". Packaged with the blocks is a wooden cutout that says "Happy" and a small 2 1/2" rabbit cutout to be placed on or near the blocks to create the complete greeting.
