Instructions for a Slinky

Collecting Vintage Toys Slinky

“Everyone knows it’s Slinky……”

Truer words have never been spoken. Everyone DOES know it’s Slinky. You could bring this to the most desolate tribe on the planet, they would know exactly what it was (and probably start building a staircase to push it down)
