Crazy Aaron'sThinking 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

This stuff is awesome. My favorite is Scarab. Crazy Aaron's is made in the USA. I have so many cans of this stuff. My kids love it too. Great stress reducer. They offer scented varieties. It can be difficult to open the can so store it right side up to prevent minor struggles when opening. You can mix different varieties and make so really neat stuff. It is plain, good old fashion fun that takes products like silly puddy to an entirely new level.

This putty is amazing—Scarab is a stunning, color-shifting dream and the texture is smooth, stretchy, and super satisfying. It doesn’t leave my hands feeling gross like some other putties, and it’s become my go-to desk fidget.However… when it arrived, the tin had been upside down during shipping and the putty basically suctioned the lid shut. It took 20 minutes and my husband’s help to finally get it open. Once it settled back to the bottom, it was fine—but heads up, you might need backup the first time you try to open it.

I tried twisting the can lid to open and it wouldn’t budge so I place the whole can in a bowl with a small amount of hot water - not enough to submerge it, just about 1/2 an inch of very hot water - and the lid came right off. Since then I’ve been able to open it by twisting. No leaking and the consistency is perfect for me. Not too hard or too soft.I am in love. The color is amazing and I’ve been working with it for a few days. No fading, no sticking, no mess, no scent. My therapist (who also has ADHD) has had her 2 cans of Thinking Putty for at least 10 years and it hasn’t lost any of its squish or color. That’s what I call a great value for the money.

Love the scarab color. It's entertaining and enjoyable to fidget with - in fact I may play with it too frequently! It's not super sticky and so far has stayed nice and pliable and maintained color over the first week. Container and amount of putty is more than I anticipated. Only thing I'd change is to make it just a bit softer.

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.

Really nice super satisfying! when you play with it for a long time it turns grey because of air bubbles then when you let it sit it returns back to the original color! I will say that the metal tin does dent easily. Mine came dented so I can’t close the tin again….but it never dries up so it’s fine no scent at all it is a little expensive but you do get a lot.

Good for something to play with

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.
