Slinky Giant Metal

A few weeks before Christmas, my partner and I were discussing the toys we wanted so much as kids, but never got. My partner lamented the fact that he never got a Slinky, he thought that growing up in a bungalow, a Slinky wouldn’t have much fun anyway, though he still would have liked one. We always buy each other a little novelty gift for under the tree, to go with the main gift. So what better surprise to get him but an original Slinky. Well, the main gift never really ‘got a look in’ over the holiday period. It came in a nice box, and arrived quickly. I think I can hear the sound of a Slinky ‘on the move’ again.

Purchased this to use as a squirrel deterrent on the bird feeder. It didn't work but was great fun and worth every penny watching the squirrel work out a way to plunder the bird seed. His antics were hilarious, clever little chap! As for its original use, we did have several goes down the stairs with it , Just for old times sake! It worked perfectly every time.

My son was given a tiny slinky for his birthday and was unsure what it did, so I ordered him the big one to show him how it can go down the stairs , he was completely mesmerised by it. Brought back some great childhood memories for me.

I put the post of a bird table through the middle of the spring. When a squirrel tries to climb the post, the spring stretches and dumps him harmlessly onto the grass. Original idea learned from Warwickshire Wildlife trust.

My 5 year old loves it. Nice to watch him laugh as it goes down the stairs .

Only played with for about an hour before it bent out of shape. Very flimsy.

very nice

When stretched it overlaps and gets tangled up, I was unable to free it.

Good slinky. And even makes the star wars blaster sound effect perfectly!

J'avais déjà la version Slinky original et j'en ai été très satisfait. Quand j'ai vu qu'il existait une version Giant, je me suis dit "pourquoi pas". Comme le ressort a un diamètre plus large, le mouvement est plus grand sinon le ressort se bloque donc c'est une question d'entraînement. Autrement il est de bonne qualité tout comme la version originale. Il faut juste équilibrer le geste en fonction du ressort donc ne pas trop rapprocher les mains sinon le ressort se bloque. Je vous le recommande si vous aimez ce type d'objet.

Llego en tiempo y en buenas condiciones. El producto es de muy buena calidad. Un poco pesado para un niño, ya que es de metal, aun asi lo usan sin problema. Lo recomiendo.

I had one of these as a little girl and i still all these years later get joy from just simply making it go to and from one hand to the other. It reminds me of the good old days. Quality is excellent.

My 2 year old granddaughter loved it.
