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

We got this for our son as a gift and he plays with it practically every other day. Such a strange but satisfying feeling playing with it. I can understand why he enjoys it so much. This is definitely a fun gift if you're looking for something for either My stress toy. Something that will keep your children occupied.

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.

I tried twisting the can lid to open and it wouldn’t budge so I placed 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 they haven’t lost any of their squish or color. That’s what I call a great value for the money.

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 really like this putty. It’s pretty and satisfying to play with. It’s good for hand/ finger strengthening and a good fidget. My only complaint is the tin is super hard to open and it’s hard to get the putty out. But once it’s out, I love it.

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.

Good quality and vibrant colors

I've been looking for a long-lasting fidget toy for quite a while and thought I'd found the perfect one. Yes, the tin was tough to open initially, but as long as the putty doesn't get on the lid, it's fine after that. The putty was a great consistency, kneadable and not too sticky, and a lovely color.Unfortunately, I learned the putty can be easily contaminated by lotions, moisture, and natural hand oils. After a couple months of otherwise careful treatment, my putty has become a dull shade of purple-gray, and more importantly, it's become unusably sticky. I contacted the company and was told you need to wash and sanitize your hands before using the putty, and your hands must be completely dry before you touch it, otherwise you can ruin it. I didn't see this information anywhere, so this is a heads-up to others. I've unfortunately had to throw mine away.
