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.

  • The perfect slinky!
Just like I remember from when I was a kid. I bought this as a gift for my nephew as he heard about them but never had one, and it was just what I was looking for! This slinky is great quality, has a good weight to it, and provides endless fun! Even if you don't have a staircase, you can put it down a hill or even build up a cardboard staircase or use some books to watch it slink down! Love it! ... show more

  • Great stocking stuffer
This little slinky was perfect for my 4 year old for stocking stuffer for Christmas. It was fun and nostalgic. He really enjoyed having it go down the stairs. It was a little smaller than I was thinking but a good product for the price. It's pretty durable. But ultimately no match for a curious preschooler who wants to see how far it can stretch. So after a few months it doesn't quite slinky back to it's original shape all the way but that's ok. My son really likes it still. ... show more

  • It's a slinky
It's a slinky, true to what a slinky is. Metal coils. A little smaller than original ones were.
