Description

There’s only one Original Slinky Brand 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. Slinky is fun for a girl or a boy ages 5 and up. Everyone loves a Slinky.

  • Perfect
Size: Small
This is the original slinky. Probably. It is so good. I highly recommended my sister loved using it, although she bent it a little too far and it was like a little Ben, so just don’t bend it so far but I have recommend this. This is so fun. It’s very nice and it has a hard time getting tangled, which is perfect for playtime. ... show more

  • More than one use
Size: Small
Slinkies are good for more than just fun. It can assist in keeping squirrels away from bird feeders. Update: May 4th 2026. The slinky works okay on the pictured feeder. It didn't work for long on the shepherd's hook feeder. These slinkies are cheap and they're made as toys. Squirrels managed to stretch the Slinky out. After that they were basically able to use it like stairs. 🤣 ... show more

  • Wonderful Traditional Slinky Toy
Size: Small
Exactly as described, the old traditional slinky. They are made of metal and strong materials. Super fun to tap into some nostalgia. Exact size that I remember and great value for what you get. Better than the plastic ones.

  • Didn't work to deter squirrels at birdfeeders
Size: Small
Better as a toy than as a squirrel deterrent on a shepherd's hook for bird feeders. It didn't discourage the squirrels for more than an hour. But it's a great toy.
