Original Slinky Walking Spring Toy - 2.75-inch Metal Slinky, Fidget Toys for Kids 5 and Up

The Original Slinky Brand has been a beloved toy for generations, celebrating 75 years of wiggly-jiggly fun. Mechanical engineer Richard James accidentally created this classic metal spring toy in 1943 during an experiment with tension coils. As the spring dropped to the floor, James watched in amazement as it began to "walk," leading to the introduction of the Slinky at Gimbels Department Store two years later, where it immediately sold out.

Since its debut, over 300 million Slinkys have been sold worldwide, and in 2000, this iconic toy was inducted into the National Toy Hall of Fame. The Slinky continues to captivate children and adults alike, with its ability to stretch, wiggle, walk, and jiggle, providing endless hours of entertainment for ages 5 and up.

Measuring 2.75 inches in diameter, the classic metal Slinky is the one and only Original Slinky Brand. This timeless toy has been a favorite for generations, as it walks downstairs, alone or in pairs, making a slink-ity sound that has become synonymous with childhood joy.

Whether it's a girl or a boy, everyone loves a Slinky. The magic of watching this metal spring toy in action never gets old, and the Slinky continues to be a cherished toy that brings happiness and wonder to children and adults alike. With its enduring popularity and iconic status, the Original Slinky Brand remains a beloved classic, capturing the imagination of generations past, present, and future.
