    Slinky An Old Time Favorite 75th Anniversary Giveaway

    Did you know there is a National Slinky Day? There sure is and it's happening August 30th. I can't believe that it's been around for 75 years already. That's only 15 years older than me. 😂

    I was so excited when I received an Original Slinky in my Sweet Suite @ Home swag box from The Toy Insiders. While I have this under the Gifts For Kids category, it really is for anyone and everyone.

    The song is something that stays with you forever. It still echos in my mind whenever someone says Slinky. And who doesn't remember it walking down stairs making a slink-ity sound? Actually that's one of the first things I did when I got it, lol.

    🎶 It's Slinky, It's Slinky, For fun it's the best of toys, It's Slinky, It's Slinky, The favorite of girls and boys, 🎶 Everyone wants a Slinky, You ought to get a Slinky! 🎵

    The one thing I did hate though was I had a tendency to get it tangled up. My mom and dad were amazing though and got it untangled each and every time. 

    How Was the Slinky Invented

    It was created by accident in 1943 by a mechanical engineer named Richard James. He was doing an experiment with tension coils and dropped it on the floor. From there he watched it walk. Two years later it debuted in the famous Gimbels Department Store and immediately sold out. 

    Since then over 300 million have sold and it was inducted into the Toy Hall of Fame in 2000. In addition, it's made for ages 5 to 100 and is perfect for prizes, stocking stuffers, gifts, and even birthday party favors. 

    In 1952 the Slinky Dog was invented. And now we have Disney Slinky Dog Dash. 🙂
