Stimulate motor skills with this fun slinky
This slinky, or stair climber, isn’t just fun to watch as it glides smoothly down the stairs – it’s also a fantastic tool for developing children’s motor skills . It requires some dexterity and practice, which is great for both fine and gross motor skills.
Children walk up and down the stairs over and over again to use the slinky, which trains their stamina and balance. At the same time, they practice hand-eye coordination as they make the spiral move.

The slinky is also ideal for playing with in the hand: let it slide from one hand to the other or move it up and down like a yo-yo. Great to fiddle with while waiting, and it unknowingly stimulates cooperation between both hands - an important part of motor development.
