Usually ships in 1 business days | | | | | | The POOF-Slinky 125 Metal Original Slinky Jr. continues to be a constant entertainer as it walks down stairs or comes alive in a child's hands. This classic toy stretches like an accordion, bounces and walks down steps one end at a time while making that classic Slinky sound. Toy history was made when Richard James conducted an experiment with tension springs. During the experiment, one of the springs fell to the floor and began to “walk”. The Slinky debuted 1945 at Gimbals Department Store in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and all (400) Slinkys for sale were purchased in 90-minutes. Since then, over 300-million Slinkys have been sold worldwide. The Slinky is filled with nostalgia and has been featured in Disney Pixar’s “Toy Story” movie franchise. It's the official state toy of Pennsylvania and famous for one of the most popular jingles of all time, “It’s Slinky”. Though it was developed to be a toy, the Slinky was used by soldiers in Vietnam as an antenna and a therapy tool for hand eye coordination. Slinky Jr. is smaller than the original Slinky and is made of silver metal for long lasting wiggly-jiggly Slinky fun! Slinky Jr. comes boxed and perfect for presents, party favors, Easter baskets, grab bags, prizes and stocking stuffers. The Slinky is truly a timeless toy, fun for adults and kids alike. The POOF-Slinky 125 Metal Original Slinky Jr. is recommended for children 5-years of age and older. POOF-Slinky, Inc. is the maker of POOF, Slinky, Ideal and Scientific Explorer Brands.

 Perfect for keeping squirrels out of our bird feeder Mar 09, 2011
By GoldenAger
"GoldenAger"
When attached to a bird feeder pole equipped with a squirrel baffle, the Slinky Jr. will absolutely prevent squirrels from getting around the baffle. After they climb up the pole and grab hold of the Slinky Jr., squirrels get a quick ride down. Some make several attempts before they give up. I ordered two more to replace older ones that have rusted and lost some of their spring. Since the Slinky Jr. is not intended for outside use, it wouldn't be fair to complain on durability. They will, however, last at least five years outdoors.

 Go for the bigger one Dec 19, 2009
By Cie Cie
The junior version of the Slinky is too light on the ends to walk down steps. It barely bends. Without the weight and flexibility of the larger original one made this junior sized slinky all but missing the fun of walking. (Of course unless the ones I bought are defeative then I'm only complaining about the bads one I have now.)
Update 12/20/2009: I counted the number of "loops" of the junior and the bigger one. Junior has only 64 while the original has 83. The Junior slinky is only 75% of the number of loops compare to the bigger one. I also tested the plastic junior and it works fine.

Best Office Toy Aug 28, 2009
By Kitty S.
I've always kept a Slinky Jr. in my office and play with it constantly: flipping and catching, treating it almost like a yo-yo/paddle ball, Slinky-ing it from hand to hand. The trouble is, someone invariably walks off with it or plays with it and trashes it. But left alone with my own Slinky Jr., it's the best office toy. (I keep one on the kitchen counter at home, too.)

Great cat toy! Jan 13, 2012
By T. Mueller
My cat discovered that slinky jrs are loads of fun to play with and bite/chew. So every year or two I have to buy him a new one because they get rusted from his slobber. I would recommend the larger/regular slinky to someone buying this for their kids but this is the perfect size for a cat toy. Just hang it from something and they can play with it on their own whenever they want. Just beware that if it is close to your bedroom, your cat might wake you up at night by playing with it.
