The Original Slinky Walking Spring Toy, 2.75-inch Diameter Metal Slinky, Fidget Toys

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!

got this metal slinky for my 5-year-old, and it’s been a huge hit in our house! His favorite thing is pushing it down the stairs and cheering it on like it’s in a race. It’s sturdy, shiny, and has that satisfying clink-clink sound that brings back all the nostalgia. Unlike the plastic ones we’ve had before, this one doesn’t tangle as easily and actually makes it all the way down the steps (most of the time!). Simple toy, endless giggles—definitely a winner in our home!

I don’t know who had more fun, the child who didn’t know what a Slinky is or the adults who remember having one as a child! Want a laugh, give it to a child and watch the older adults around you

Slinky is still the essential toy for toddlers on up. In today's push button display screen toy world, a toy stimulating the intuitive wonder of classical mechanics is key to mental growth.

Used for a reward for one of my students in my classroom, the only thing is it does gets wrapped around each coil easily!

I bought these for my son’s stockings at Christmas time, and they still get them out from time to time play with them. They haven’t gotten tangled or bent yet! Any toy my boys still enjoy six months later is a hit to me! I also feel it’s educational as they will try to get the slinky to “walk” down steps they make on their own! Better than a video game!

Quality is not that great, it got tangled so easily and my children didn't have it for that long.

I didnt buy this Slinky for typical use. I bought it to prevent those seed and nut stealing squirrels. I have added this to one bird feeder as a test to see if it would work. It surely does. Very effective and just a few bucks vs squirrel cones at $30 each.
