(r) Get Ready with Me Thinking Putty - Made in USA

As a kid, I got in trouble in school for putting glue all over my hands so I could pull it off when it dried. I was a good student, but that kind of fidgeting wasn't allowed. A few years later, I developed trichotillomania (hair pulling). I ended up spending the rest of my childhood and teenage years with no eyebrows or eyelashes. I still pull chin hair and pick at my skin. If I had been allowed more harmless fidgets as a child, maybe that would never have happened. Now as an adult in middle age, I am learning to allow myself things like this putty to keep my hands busy. I was a little apprehensive reading other reviews about it coming in super hard or dried out, but that was not the case for me. It was a little hard, but it is quite cold out right now and it was delivered a couple hours before I could bring it in. Once it warmed up, it became very pliable. It is soft, but not too soft. It has a very nice pull, though it does tear sometimes. It's a good size. The can is bigger than my (admittedly small) hand, and there is ample putty. I am thinking of trying to get a smaller one, actually, because this one is a little too big to easily carry around. There is a bit of a strange scent, but it isn't bad and only noticeable if I sniff the putty on purpose. I don't smell anything if I use it as normal, and it doesn't leave a smell on my hands. It is very pretty and sparkly. I couldn't be happier with the appearance. The tin is slightly difficult to open, though it seems to be getting easier with time. A little annoying, but probably means it won't dry out. I'm really happy with it so far!

This putty has truly helped me stay focused and attentive! All those Teams meetings where its hard to pay attention! Play with the putty under the table! No one knows! Love it! Its not sticky, doesn't stain, and is fun!

This is my 5th Aarons thinking putty. I love them. When my mom first gifted it to me, I thought it was a bit dense to use (or my hands are just really weak lol) but after using it for a while I realized the body heat from our hands makes it softer and eventually it became more flexible and fun to use! Im used to Aarons packaging being a mess, and im also used to the lids being hard AF to open, BUT the end result is great. All I do is take a piece of the putty, and use it to collect the mess around the lid. Works like a charm ! I put pictures of before and after cleaning the mess. To add to this, Im not a big slime person because trying to activate and all that other stuff with regular slime is too much for me. So Aarons is my go to whenever Im stressed out thinking during work (work from home). As a grown adult, I love Aarons thinking putty! Its a nice way to mitigate any type of stress but also just fun to play with ! P.S. I recommend a belt storage/organizer to hold all of the aarons putty in. That way the putty will stay in place and its all there when you want it !

Love this stuff. I’m 39 years old and it helps me focus. It does have the same issue with the tin being extremely difficult to remove to get the putty out. I’ve had two of these, and both I had a hard time getting the tin open because the putty has hardened a bit which causes the tin to basically seal shut. Not a big deal, but it does make it pretty cumbersome to remove initially. It will also bend the tin which causes the top to not go on if you aren’t careful. Anyway, don’t get this on your couch or fabrics. It will ruin them.

Crazy Aarons is the best putty. Scarab has color change glitter so it looks different from different sides. As it slowly reshapes it is mesmerizing.

Crazy Aaron’s Thinking Putty has been a huge hit! It’s fun to stretch, bounce, and mold, and the colors and effects are really cool. It’s perfect for keeping hands busy, relieving stress, or just being creative. The putty holds up well, doesn’t dry out quickly, and can be used over and over again. My kids love experimenting with all the ways it can stretch, snap, and bounce. A simple, creative, and endlessly entertaining toy — highly recommend! 🟠✨

I’ve never bought thinking putty before, but the doc prescribed something like this to a family member, wanting them to use it for strength and dexterity in their hands. I have sensory issues and whenever they weren’t using it, I would borrow it to squish to my heart’s content. When I saw this, I had to get it for myself. I’ve only just received it, so I can’t comment on whether or how quickly the colour fades. Out of the box, the colour is really beautiful. The consistency is perfect: based on other reviews, I was expecting it to be slimier than it is, and I’m glad that’s not the case. It’s getting the thing out of its tin that’s a challenge. Mine had leaked around the edge and dried, creating a sort of seal that made opening the tin even more difficult. Luckily, I had just ordered a spudger, and that made things a lot easier (see photo). But based on this experience, I’m being careful to keep the tin flat, which means I can’t just chuck it in my backpack. This is not okay. I will need to find a better storage solution, which is disappointing given the price tag. So why five stars? Because the squishy is super squishy and wonderful, and I couldn’t bring myself to subtract stars for the subpar tin.

I've seen this product around, but I never got it because of how expensive it was. Finally decided to try it, I really like the texture and the color is so pretty! However, the trouble I had to go through to get into this thing was insane. The puddy got all around the sides and made the top practically glued on. I had to take a sharp object and go all around the sides to remove the puddy enough to open it. I actually thought I wasn't gonna be able to open it at all. Also, the tin got bent from trying to open it, so now it's hard to close. I'm begging the company to make a better tin or a better seal to keep the puddy from doing this. I saw other comments about this, so I knew it might happen, but its still sucks. Overall is exactly my type of fidget and I really like it, but be warned, you might have to use the jaws of life to open it.

Was bought as a gift. The kids were super excited!

Got this for a friend loved it so much! It came very fast and you should definitely buy it! The only bad thing we the balls inside because this can fall out

Great product. Holds up with use. Will buy more.

My autistic kids love playing with putty and this one did not disappoint. I only wish it would be easier to open the jar as it takes a while with an anxious child around.

Je met un 4 étoiles , car les billes blanches sont en styromouse, oui ça pette, c’est le dune pour le bruit, mais ça tombe partout et avec la statique , ça colle partout aussi . Pour des jeunes enfants , je ne recommande pas … fait pas parti de mes préférés … Like si ça t’a aidé
