Description

There’s only one Original Slinky Brand! Celebrate 75 years of wiggly-jiggly fun with Slinky! Generations of children and adults have loved playing with Slinky. This classic metal spring toy walks downstairs, alone or in pairs, and makes a slink-ity sound. First invented by mechanical engineer Richard James in 1943 during an experiment with tension coils. James accidentally dropped a spring on the floor and watched as it began to “walk.” Two years later, he introduced his walking spring toy in Gimbels Department Store, and the Slinky immediately sold out. Since its debut, over 300 million Slinkys have been sold worldwide. In 2000, this classic toy was inducted into the National Toy Hall of Fame. Made 75 years ago, Slinky continues to be a favorite toy of children and adults all over the world. Slinky is fun for a girl or a boy ages 5 and up. Everyone loves a Slinky!

  • Works on squirrels and bird feed/suets
Following someone's suggestion, I bought these to put on a shepherd hook to keep the squirrels away. Well I had it slide down from the hook (connected 2 with zip ties), and here came a squirrel - no effect. BUT, when I slid the entirety back together and put it in one mass at the hook going up (again zip tied in place), there have not been any squirrels try it since! I don't know what they think it is, but they moved on to somewhere else, so GREAT for this!! ... show more

  • Perfect toys...or antennas
Just like the old days. Great toys, of course, but I bought them to make portable HF antennas. I'm a ham and these are perfect. Actually good for EFHW or Dipole antennas and you may have other ideas. Easy to solder to the end with just a little surface sanding. Look up Slinky Antennas and GET ON THE AIR. ... show more

  • They were a fun buy for neices and nephew staying 26th us a couple days.
They didn't walk our stairs as well as I remembered but they had fun with them.
Reviewed in the United States on February 13, 2025 by I love these for the day of starting my period and the day after! They work great!!!

  • Still magical after all these years
The Original Slinky is just as fun now as it was when we were kids. My toddler doesn’t understand stairs yet, but he loves the metallic sound and bounce. It’s a nostalgic, screen-free toy that sparks creativity (and giggles). We keep one upstairs and one in the toy bin.

  • Protects bird feeders from squirrels
Just what I needed to keep squirrels from climbing bird feeder poles. Bonus was I got to relive childhood by playing slinky before attaching it. Good times!

  • Classic Fun!
Introducing the Slinky to my 4 y.o. great niece has been a blast! It's a great size, easy to use and durable. I love the low price point. We're having fun with this classic !

  • Different from the original
These are not the original that I remember. It would not go down the stairs like my old Al boy could do. Not long enough and a smaller slinky in general.
