Crazy Aaron's Thinking Putty for Kids - DIY Special Effects Putty Kit (6 Putties Included)- Glow-In-The-Dark, Sparkle, Heat-Sensitive - Includes Colored Pencils and Instructional Mat - Never Dries Out

Highly recommend. It's a great kit with a durable mixing mat with tips, 5 'blank' tins filled with clear putty, and an altoid sized tin with 6 packets of 'mix-ins' (concentrated red, blue, yellow, glow, sparkle, and shimmer putty) to create your own unique colors. Also has extra blank stickers and colored pencils for decorating and naming tins.My kids made a green glow putty, a "lava" orange, a purple "galaxy" putty, a shimmery blue they called "bullet train" and an aqua blue ish.There was plenty of each mix in so each tin ended up filled to the top.Once they finished mixing they decorated their tins, and they've been playing with the putty all evening.My only tip would be to only add the glow to one or 2 and only lighter colors. Our green glows great but we added a little bit to the lava and didn't get any glow from it.Probably the best craft kit I've ever purchased, will purchase again, highly recommend.

My daughter has lots of the big tins of Aarons putty! She wanted to get the make your own, as she is into making all kinds of Gak and putty. She loved this product, had fun making and naming her putty. There are so many combination you could use. I do wish they had a refill kit that you could buy to make more once the 5 tins are gone. She was so excited that it went pretty fast :-) I'm thinking we can use our liquid glass putty to use up our special effects putty left over. I do see us buying a few more of these kits in the very near future. It is a great project for kid, not messy and even I had fun doing it with her. I would recommend this to all my friends. Made here in the USA and its just an amazing product.

I bought this for my 8 year old daughter when we found out she would need to stay home from school sick for a week. It was something she could work on one tin at a time (it comes with 5), and kept her interested for a surprising amount of time for each tin. She loved being able to customize each putty with color, glitter, and even make it glow in the dark.It’s a little pricey for what you get but when you’ve got a sick kid, it works as a good distraction and for me it was worth the price.

My 7 year old loved it. She made some cool color combinations. So easy to combine colors and not at all messy. She has played with them everyday making different shapes like clay and sometimes it's her "fidget putty." They also bounce great just like silly putty does. I like this better than the pre-mixed silly putty. I bought both to compare and very happy with crazy Aaron thinking putty vs tge original silly putty abd getting to mix your own colors verry fun for the kids. I can see this also being fun and therapeutic for adults too. You can mix all at once or wait and do a few every time and the tins it stores in are nice just don't overfill them or they will stick together and be hard to open.

Our son was introduced to Crazy Aaron's Thinking Putty by a friend of his and being a child who needs to keep his hands busy and who has a creative mind (spectrum), needless to say ..... he became obsessed. We began our Crazy Aaron's journey by purchasing a variety pack of the smaller tins here on Amazon as stocking stuffers this past Christmas. Our son was over the moon and has played and experimented with them endlessly since! He was thrilled, but still had hoped to receive the Mixed by Me kit. This past Easter he received it and immediately got to creating his own creations. As a parent of a very active and easily bored child, Crazy Aaron's Putty products have been amazing for him and keep him focused and entertained for hours upon hours! He also enjoys going online and watching videos for inspiration. Thank you for creating a product that is so appropriate for children like my kiddo!

My 8 year old son is going through a serious putty/mixing phase, so I thought I'd give these a shot. It really isn't a ton of putty for the money (and I wish there were more of the bright colors like yellow), but he LOVED mixing his own tiny tins and coloring on the labels. He's so proud of them that he stores them in a glass display case with his other putties.Of note, the first set we received was completely missing the colored/special effect putties. I contacted Amazon directly because the website said the product was not eligible for return. Amazon IMMEDIATELY made it right and refunded the full amount, after which I reordered and received the complete set. Because we already had the tins and base putty from the incomplete set, we were actually able to mix double the amount with the color/special effects putties from the new set. Worked out nicely for us!My son enjoyed these so much that he requested another set, so I may even reorder it when there's a special occasion that calls for it.

Bought two kits for a (third grade) class craft because the thought of making slime seemed really messy. This kit was AWESOME. I’m excellent at procrastinating so even though I meant to get out one of the kits and figure it out beforehand, I never did. However, it was very easy to use, labeled well, and was just perfect. I wish it was slightly cheaper (bought for around twenty per kit) and that it came with a little more glow in the dark additive, but I’d absolutely buy this again. Loved that it came with individual tins! And that it wasn’t messy at ALL. A+

Was super excited about this as both my kids LOVE their products but these containers are TINY TINY TINY. I mean an inch and a half at best. So while the product itself is awesome, this set is very overpriced for the amount you're getting when you can buy a full sized tin for about half the price.
