First invented by mechanical engineer Richard James in 1943 during an experiment with tension coils. James accidentally dropped a spring on the floor and watched as it began to walk. Two years later, he introduced his walking spring toy in Gimbels Department Store during Christmas, and the Slinky immediately sold out.

Since its debut, over 300 million Slinkys have been sold worldwide. In 2000, this classic toy was inducted into the National Toy Hall of Fame. Slinky continues to be a favorite toy of children and adults all over the world.

Slinky is fun for a girl or a boy and makes an ideal gift, stocking stuffer, prize, or present.
