It's natural to want our kids to play with some of the same toys we had when we were young. I'm not sure why the slinky is so much fun, but my kids really enjoyed those few hours before it became bent, tangled, and unusable, just like happens to all metal Slinkies.

A classic.

Interesting fact: Marine engineer Richard James invented the Slinky in 1943 when he accidentally knocked a metal spring off his desk. He was amazed at how the metal spring traveled end-over-end across the floor.
