Springs | mountainhands

The slinky is a toy that, for the most part, you hold on to with one hand, or both hands on each end.
Springs have an oscillation of their own. Feel their pattern, and work with it.

hold each end of the slinky in each hand
"pour" one side into the other
and back and forth
start with your hands parallel to the ground, lifting one side, then the other back and forth
as you get the hang of it your hands can take on many varied positions

Hold each end in each hand
Start by oscillating the spring so it waves up and down
Then, pick your timing to bring your hands together and catch the slinky in the middle
As you get better you can clap and keep oscillating in rhythm

Hold your slinky with an end in each hand (see Suggestions on Toys to learn about slinkys and springs!)
Wave the slinky up and down to get it going.
Then calmly hold still, waiting for the oscillations to calm down.
As the waves still, so do you.
