Original Slinky Walking Spring Toy, 2.75-inch Metal Slinky for Kids Ages 5+

For 75 years, Slinky has been the ultimate in wiggly-jiggly fun! This iconic metal spring toy, first invented by mechanical engineer Richard James in 1943, has been delighting generations of children and adults. Whether it's walking downstairs alone or in pairs, Slinky makes that classic slink-ity sound that everyone loves.

During an experiment with tension coils, James accidentally dropped a spring on the floor and was amazed as it began to "walk." Two years later, he introduced his walking spring toy in Gimbels Department Store, and it immediately sold out. Since then, over 300 million Slinkys have been sold worldwide, with the classic toy being inducted into the National Toy Hall of Fame in 2000.

Despite being made 75 years ago, Slinky continues to be a favorite for kids and adults worldwide. It's fun for everyone ages 5 and up, whether they're a boy or a girl. The Original Slinky brand is the only one that truly captures the magic of this classic toy. Each Slinky is 2.75 inches in diameter and is guaranteed to stretch, wiggle, walk, and jiggle its way into your heart.

So, celebrate 75 years of fun and bring home the original metal Slinky - the only one that guarantees hours of enjoyment for kids ages 5 and up. Everyone loves a Slinky!
