The one that walks downstairs
The Original Metal Slinky
4.5 51,697 ratings$3.59
This is the coil from the jingle: 2.75 inches of flat steel wire that walks down a staircase, alone or in pairs, and makes that slinkity sound on every step. It is the simplest thing we make and still the one we would hand to anyone first.

Original metal wire Slinky
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.

Deterrent for squirrels climbing pole feeders!
“It’s Slinky, it’s Slinky, for fun, it’s a wonderful toy!” Loved playing with these as a child but, as an adult I actually bought these to wrap around my pole bird feeders and attach to a squirrel baffle in an attempt to try and stop the squirrels from running up the pole and eating the bird food. It works! Squirrels won’t touch my pole bird feeders now!

Fun gift idea for kids!
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!
