Crazy Aaron's Thinking Putty - Super Scarab - Multi-Color Sensory Putty for Kids and Grown ups in a 4" Tin - Creative and Endless Fun, Stress Relief Therapy Toys, Never Dries Out - Made in USA

I got this because I've wanted some for a long time. My husband and I both find the colors almost magical. It is beautiful and tactilely delightful. I am so glad that Santa put this in my stocking!

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.

This product is a fantastic find! It's reasonably priced, making it accessible for most budgets without compromising on quality. The product is exactly as described, and its usefulness cannot be overstated. I've found it to be incredibly practical and efficient in meeting my needs. The attention to detail is impressive, and the performance is on par with more expensive alternatives. If you're looking for something reliable, well-made, and at a fair price point, this is the perfect choice. Highly recommended!

I love this stuff. I am the secretary at an elementary school and we have special needs kiddos in the building and I have shared it with a couple of them and they love it. I wish I could get them all to share with my students. Stretches easy and goes back together easily also, bounces like a ball. This is not a sticky substance like slime or goo, nothing sticks to your hands. This is just too fun especially for around 12.00 bucks. Small problem of a leak when it first arrived so the lid was stuck because it dried and it literally took 4 different people to get it open, very strong obviously. Would definitely buy again!!!

The color is gorgeous, and is definitely what sold me. It's just as pretty in person as in the photos. However, the packaging is bad. The can was bent just enough to make it tough to open it when I got it, and now it's apparently impossible to get the lid back on, and I've only had it two days. There is no scent to it, and it doesn't leave any residue on your hands, which certainly is a plus. It's denser than I expected, but if it's too hard to play with it, it comes apart easily and will go back together with little effort. Still pleased with my purchase, and I'll likely get another color as well.

I bought a tiny You're Puurfect thinking putty to try it and really liked it, so I decided to get a bigger one. The online photos do not do justice to how pretty this thinking putty is. It's metallic, sparkly, and such a pretty iridescent color. I love the texture and this will be great to mess with when I'm anxious.

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!

As a middle-aged adult, who is struggling with ADHD in a way that I have not earlier in life I have the gun searching and trying out different fidget toys. This one could work for some people, but I would say for anyone like me who is really bad about putting stuff up it is a total no go. It’s beautiful. It feels good. It’s really fun to play with however The little tin lid got bent somehow. I was having trouble putting it back on so once at night I just put it over to the side woke up in the morning and my sheet was stuck into it and was permanently ruined and had to be thrown away. So I just gave up and threw it away knowing that I was just gonna destroy everything around me with this stuff getting stuck to it. It’s probably better for somebody if they’re just gonna keep it on their desk at work or if it’s a child who has a parent who’s gonna make sure it gets picked up. I don’t need a toy to add additional issues to my existing executive dysfunction in my environment.
