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! From the Manufacturer Original Slinky is truly an American classic toy. Made in America for 70 years, it has been captivating children and adults all over the world. Watch the Slinky walk down stairs one step at a time while producing that classic Slinky sound. Slinky Toys stretch like and accordion and provide endless fun for kids and adults.

Recommended for children 5-years of age and older. Slinky is not just a toy, it's a toy box tradition. For 70 years the proudly made-in-the-USA Slinky has captivated kids and adults with its ability to walk down stairs (alone or in pairs), making that classic Slinkity sound.

  • Good, for a slinky.
Style: The Original Slinky
The kid loves slinky's, but if you have ever used one, you know what happens to them. We started buying them in multi packs like this because a slinky is good for about 1-3 play sessions before it's bent out of shape, no matter the manufacturer. Amazon price is good, delivery is fast.

  • what a wonderful toy
Style: Original Slinky
its slinkey, its slinky, what a wonderful toy. its fun for a girl or a boy! the slinky is a classic toy that was born in the spirit of fun in what was some pretty dark times. during world war 2 there was a couple machinists who were seeing how deep of a cut they could take with the metal lathe, the ended up making the first ever slinky while screwing off. while the slinky never was good at going down multiple stairs unless the rise and run were the perfect pitch, I remember trying for hours experimenting different heights and lengths to make it work. it inspired imagination and inginuity. i would recommend locking any teenager in a room with one and seeing what happens (get video and share please). ... 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.

  • Great Slinky - Squirrels not impressed
Style: Original Slinky
I mean, the Slinky is great, very sturdy, exactly as advertised. If you want to play with it yourself you should clean it a bit first, as is to be expected on an item like that. For my intended purpose, the defense of a bird feeder, it did not exactly impress our little rascal here ;-)

  • New use for old toy.
Style: The Original Slinky
I hooked one end to the top of my pole holding my bird feeders and let it dangle down the pole. This keeps squirrl from climbing the pole to eat the bird food out of the feeder.

  • Fun Product
Style: Original Slinky
Had one as a kid and now by them for my grandkids. Just make sure they don’t stetch it by pulling it out because it will never be the same after. Works best on stairs. Easily ruined so be ready for your kids and/or grandkids to complain that it is no longer working. Fun while it lasts.

  • It’s the slinky. It was a little oily from the box
Style: The Original Slinky
It seems like there was a decent amount of factory lubricant from when it was made still on the slinky’s so it got on your hands and kind of stunk. No biggie for me but don’t let your toddler put it in their mouth right out the box. You might want to wipe it down first. Other than that it seems like the original slinky and the 3 pack seems like a decent value. ... show more
