Sorhor TRSimons,
You can get a Slinky at the local dollar store and they come in all different colors. However, they are made out of thin plastic! How do I know this fact? Well my students in Psychology do a play -day lab (Jean Piaget's Cognitive Development) and I have about thirty different toys that the students examine, of course, using the scientific method. Anyway, I have purchase so many different slinky toys over the past seven years that's its' not even funny.
