About the Coiled slinky spring toy
A Slinky is a long, floppy metal coil that behaves in a surprising way. Stand it at the top of a stairway, give it a nudge, and it will appear to walk down the steps end over end all on its own. It was invented in the 1940s by an engineer who first spotted the idea when a spring tumbled off his workbench. Wind your way down the coils of this Slinky maze, a springy fit for a how-things-move theme.
- A Slinky can appear to walk down a staircase all by itself.
- The Slinky was invented in the 1940s by engineer Richard James.
