Slinky -Original Metal

Everyone loves a Slinky! This original spring toy is famous with children all over the world. It stretches, snaps back, and makes a "slinkity sound." Richard James invented the Slinky by accident. He was trying to develop a spring that could help keep sensitive ship-board instruments steady at sea. He knocked some of these experimental springs off a shelf, and was amused by the way they "walked" down, rather than just falling. Dimension: (H) 2 1/4" x (W) 2 7/8" Ages 3+
