"What walks down stairs, alone or in pairs, And makes a slinkity sound?
A spring, a spring, a marvelous thing, Everyone knows it’s Slinky…
It's Slinky, it's Slinky, for fun it's a wonderful toy
It's Slinky, it's Slinky, it's fun for a girl and a boy"
Hours of entertainment....until the inevitable. It gets tangled.
The Slinky debuted in 1945 in Gimbel's department store in Pennsylvania. Invented by Richard James, the James Spring & Wire Company began turning out Slinkys for children everywhere.

The amazing toy that needs no batteries and gives hours and hours of play time :) I used to love the different patterns of hypotrochoids and epitrochoids - yeah I had to look that up in the Wikipedia link, I just called them circles :)
I would do some over and over in different colours. I used the pictures to cover my school books! oh how sad...
The toy is over 30 years old and still going strong.
Hahaha check out the old 1960's TV ad!

Something I had until my dad ran over it...a big wheel! and I loved it dearly. I never did get another one :(.
My mother had one of these as a child and let me play with it when I was a kid. I loved it, I believe we actually still have i, but unfortunately I destroyed or lost most of the furniture. I was amazed when I seen one in the store in "Walk the Line". A metal doll house.
Honestly, we didn't get many toys when I was little. My parents didn't have much money. When I got some older, my grandmother had a grocery store.. she would pay me and my brother to stack returnable coke bottles and I built up my Barbie collection from those earnings.

Oh....Emm....Gee....The fashion plates! That took me waaaay back lol I think I still have mine somewhere at my grandparents house! Now I have to look!
I always wanted the fashion plates too even though I really was not a girly type girl. It was just a neat concept I thought. I should look to see if they have them still. I bet my granddaughter would enjoy them. Someone recently showed her how to make paperdolls and she was intrigued with them. We used to make them all the time and make different clothes to hook on them by the tabs.

We didn't have a Lite Bright but my cousins did so we spent many visiting hours making cool pictures with them. Thanks for bringing back memories
Any wonder why we are attracted to neon signs?
Hmmm was there a Lite Brite conspiracy ?
So old and always reinvening themselves. <3 <3 <3
Cheers!

Boy the slinky was sure popular for something that could become a tangled mess so fast! Fun memories from them though.
