If you were to make a list of the all-time classic toys, there's one simple invention that would have to be on the list - the Slinky - and now it’s back!

Invented over 60 years ago, the Slinky is still great fun to flip around, juggle, slide or walk down a flight of stairs. As well as being a nostalgic gift for anyone who grew up playing with one, they still have a timeless appeal that’ll encourage inquisitive children to investigate just what a Slinky can do. For added geek appeal, Slinkys are also handy for science experiments involving wave motion and some electronics too.

But, of course, the Slinky's favourite party piece is walking downstairs as the coils stretch and reform as gravity moves it down each step, and Slinkys are as good at this as ever. So, keep the love for one of the all-time greats alive and find out for yourself what makes a Slinky so much fun!
