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

The original Slinky! They move and sound just as I remember as a child. My young granddaughters (2 and 4yrs.) were delighted with this toy that can “walk” down stairs. This toy can be bent easily, so users need to treat them gently. (When bent, the spring is nearly impossible to fold back to its tight original form. There will be a small gap left, but the Slinky will still “walk” down stairs and function pretty well.)

My sister loved playing with this slinky after I got it for her birthday! She turned 10, so she was able to think of some fun ways to use it! It’s a classic big metal slinky, so it’s fun to take it down the stairs, throw it off the counter, and shift it between your hands! It’s a sturdy thing. Not easily broken unless a toddler gets into it (foreshadowing). It’s such a fun toy! Great gift idea!

Slinky is great to play with, keep anyone entertained for hours and it can help deter squirrels from getting up feeders in a funny way.

Baugh to keep squirrels off my feeds, doesn’t work. Great old fashion toy

It's a Slinky... What else is there to know? It's perfectly great as a slinky toy. I like that it's metal like the ones I played with when I was a little girl. I gave it 5 Stars all the way for its "intended purpose" as a toy. What I'm about to say has no bearing on my review but I thought I'd share a little added info about the Slinky's alternative use as a critter / squirrel deterrent since I thought there may be others who have decided to purchase a Slinky for that same reason I did. Let me just say it was a TOTAL FAILURE and total waste of money as a squirrel deterrent and I'm glad I put out only one of the two Slinkies I bought. Don't waste your money if you are expecting to use it to keep the squirrels away from your bird feeder. Mine worked the first day. In fact, I took pleasure witnessing a squirrel trying to climb up my feeder pole and he immediately took that elevator ride straight down to the ground floor and ran away. I thought to myself, "Yay, this is going to work!!". :-D HOWEVER, it did not take long for the squirrels to stop being afraid of it and they started climbing it anyway. Also, I'm not so sure that raccoons weren't climbing up the pole at night because the Slinky became extremely stretched out so much so I think something really heavy was climbing. Either way, it was destroyed in less than a week. : '-( I haven't removed it yet and the squirrels just ignore it and climb straight up the pole and hang upside down on my "squirrel proof" bird feeder for their daily buffet. So to summarize.... it works great for its intended purpose as a toy but a total failure as a critter deterrent at the bird feeder. I gave 5 STARS for being a toy!

Links bent first day. Nice while it lasted! Kids had fun!

I bought 7 of these away as gifts for people who remember the metal ones when they first came out & since. Everyone loves having one again, in metal. Thank you so much for sending these fun, memorable gifts!

Thank you for fast deleivery and execellent product thanks

J'ai choisi Slinky comme objet de détente, et aussi parce que j'avais un ressort plastique qui n'a pas duré étant enfant. Je le manipulais beaucoup... Ici, le ressort est durable et de bonne qualité. Retrouver cette sensation sur un autre ressort d'une autre matière, c'est que du bonheur. La hauteur du Slinky mesure 5,5cm pour un diamètre intérieur de 6,5cm. Diamètre extérieur 6,7cm. Malgré mes grandes paluches, le Slinky se tient très bien dans la main. Bonne prise en main donc. Je ne l'ai pas encore testé dans les escaliers car ce n'est pas pour cela que je l'ai acheté mais qui sait, l'occasion se présentera et je le ferais. (^_^) Je recommanderais Slinky à mon entourage.

El clásico muelle. Le damos uso en casa y no pierde la forma ni se enreda como otros muelle. Ojo, porque el diámetro es más pequeño de lo que parece.

ممتازة واصلية ولكن واحد من التي وصلت فيها نقط صدى

Superbe mon fils est heureux avec ce jouet
