About this product
Blast down the stairs, jumps from your hands, springs from table tops and much more. This is a precompressed helical spring, that can perform several tricks, most famously travelling down a flight of steps end-over-end as it stretches and re-form itself with the aid of gravity and its own momentum. It can also appear to levitate for a period after it has been dropped and make spooky sound effects!

Springy
Big enough to walk down the stairs properly

Excellent educational toy.
I bought it for my Granddaughter aged 8, she was absolutely fascinated with it, played with it for hours as did I.

Fascinating
Grandson really taken with this. Hours of fun for him, and then hours of 'fun' for me disentangling it. A portion of it also worked to discourage squirrels from climbing the birdfeeder pole.

Amazing!
My children love this slinky, its very strong and works really well. They spend hours playing with it.

I purchased this for my 9 year old grandson. He was over the moon with it. He couldn’t wait to play with it. I recommend this A*****

Nearly didn’t find it on the app/website!
Bought for my grandson who had requested a slinky. That word didn’t appear anywhere in the listing, so I guess it’s trademarked and this product is not that brand so Argos can’t call it that. So searching for ‘slinky toy’ didn’t find it. Can’t they say ‘similar to a slinky’ or something like that? This one is a good weight and a decent size so it works well and the boy loves it.

Yes it does go down the stairs!
Bought for our 10 year old boy as a stocking filler. Far superior to those pointless plastic springs that seem to get destroyed in minutes. Yes you need to be a little careful with it, but the main requirement was, does it go down our stairs? YES IT DOES! We have a 1930's house with treads that are 240mm deep x 200mm high. I think I enjoyed this more than our boy!!! :)

Works so well
Best slinky we have owned good down the stairs really well. Also is pretty resistant at not being Tangled. Made of sturdy material great quality.

Impressive
This giant springy has aural and tactile fun in store for kids. Bought for a 9 year old boy. Can help teach dexterity and momentum principles.
