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.

    • What walks down stairs, alone or in pairs and makes a slinkity sound?
Style: Original Slinky
A spring, a spring, a marvelous thing! Everybody knows it’s slinky Do yourself a favor - if you’re buying a kid their first slinky, buy two. They will bend it, warp it, tangle it, wrap it around every object in sight (including the dog). It does not bend back into shape. You can try every “hack” on the googlenets, but it Will. Not. Happen. You will be relentlessly pestered on the status of the slinky repair to the point that you hop back on Amazon to find the highest rated noise cancelling headphones. I promise they are far more expensive than the slinky. Just buy two. ... show more

    • The original slinky
Style: Original Slinky
I purchased this for my 11 year old grandson who saw it online and was SO excited to try it. LOL. Low tech, no batteries, old school fun. He's been playing with it for weeks. Eventually it will probably get 'sprung' as it goes with slinkys -but for now, he has been loving it. Having said all of this, I never hesitate to update my reviews should new info seem useful. All of my reviews reflect my honest, personal experience with the reviewed item - your experience may be different. I am not influenced by any outside source. I receive/accept NO free products or discounts that are not available to all shoppers- ever. I am a verified purchaser - not a compensated reviewer. I have been doing honest, trustworthy reviews for well over 25 years with Amazon - posting thousands and thousands of reviews - which have been viewed over 8.2 million times to date. I am NOT a fake reviewer. BOTTOM LINE: I pay for ALL my stuff, just like you do - with hard earned dollars! ... show more

    • Smaller than I remember, will not 'walk' down the stairs
Style: Original Slinky
I remember loving these as a kid and spent an embarrassingly long amount of time making the slinky "walk" down the stairs. I told my son about this when he received a small plastic knockoff slinky in a party bag and he wanted to try the same. We received the slinky and to my surprise it seems a lot smaller and there is no way this little guy can walk the stairs. It's too inexpensive to even mess with returning so we'll keep it. Maybe we can make smaller stairs or obstacles out of Legos or stacking books, but if you are wanting to relieve some childhood stair fun, don't buy this one. :) ... show more
