The Slinky was originally intended to be a device that kept shipment equipment steady while at sea. It was invented in 1943, by a mechanical engineer named Richard James who accidentally dropped the Slinky off of a shelf and noticed how elegantly it walked down the shelf rather than falling. Since then, a Slinky has been a common and incredibly amusing toy that reduces stress through its ability to move so gracefully. Keep yourself happily amused, practicing tricks and reducing stress, for hours with the best Slinkys around.
