Collector's Edition Slinky

Slinky as seen over 50 years ago.

This classic, famous toy is the exact replica, toy and box, from 1945. Slinky stretches, snaps back, and makes a "slinkity sound." It even walks down stairs!

Ages 5 and up.

Team eParty: Did you know? Slinky was invented by Naval engineer Richard James. He knocked a spring off of a shelf when he was working to develop springs that could keep ship instruments stable in choppy waters. The spring did what a Slinky does... it stepped down to a stack of books, then to the table, and then to the floor, where it righted itself into a cylinder. James knew it would be a great toy, and tests by neighborhood kids proved him right.
