Favorite Fidget Purchase Ever

Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2017

Verified Purchase

As someone with ADD who struggles with Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors (BFRBs), I would constantly catch myself picking at my skin or ripping at my cuticles while in class. My friend told me about Crazy Aaron's Thinking Putty, and she gave me a small tin of the Northern Lights thinking putty. I instantly loved it, and I decided to purchase this three pack of minis because the larger tins have more putty in them than I wanted and I wanted more than one mini tin since with my ADD I tend to misplace things. I carry one of these everywhere and I absolutely love them. The amount of putty in these minis is perfect because I can either fidget with it in both hands or I can play with it in one hand while I take notes with the other. I would recommend this for adults as well as children over the age of 7. It doesn't smell, it doesn't leave any sort of residue on your hands, and these three colors are very multidemsional and fun to look at. I will definitely purchase more of Crazy Aaron's Thinking Putty in the future.

Soft, pliable, colorful, and worth the money!

Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2019

These small putty tins appear expensive, but they are worth every penny! They are soft, pliable, colorful, and having the title illusion putty fits them very well! My favorite list is-

1. Super Scarab
2. Super Lava
3. Super Oil Slick

The only reason why I have favorites is because of the color changing illusions. The super scarab appears blue, purple, or green depending on the light. Super lava appears red, orange, yellow, or black depending on the light. Super oil slick only is an oily color.

Overall, I have nothing negative to say!

Fantastic fidget/focus toy, doesn't last forever

Reviewed in the United States on May 27, 2021

Verified Purchase

As an adult with ADHD, I love thinking putty for fidgeting - I fidget with my hands a lot and I find myself going back to these again and again. It allows my hands to be a lot more involved than a spinner or just playing with a pen, etc. It especially helps when I need to focus on a phone call or listen to a lecture.

The colors in this set are very pretty as well. I like Super Scarab the most, but after 3 months of heavy (daily) use, the color variations kind of faded into a more solid gray-blue color and lost the purple and green shades.

Additionally the putty seems to pick up dirt and oils over time and it becomes much more sticky, and I haven't found a way to fix it other than buying a new one. When I first got it, it almost never stays stuck to hands, surfaces, etc, but after 3 months the texture has completely changed to become way more sticky and it gets to the point where I have to wipe it off my hands with a paper towel. I'm pretty careful with my putty, but if it were to accidentally get stuck to clothing it would be a huge pain to get out. The tins that I've used most heavily get stickier faster - so I definitely think it has to do with picking up oils from skin over time. When it gets gross and sticky I unfortunately have to throw it out and start a new tin, so the multi-packs are nice for me.

The mini-tins are small, but I think they're the perfect size to fidget with at my desk and still be inconspicuous. Plus since they do wear out over time I can switch to another small tin easily.

I do wish there was a way to clean or "revive" putty that's gotten dirty or worn out, but with how much I use it, I still think it's worth the purchase overall!

Perfect if you can't choose a color!

Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2021

I was looking to get some putty for playing with while on long work calls, and came across the Crazy Aaron's brand. I was kind of overwhelmed by the color choices (I had no idea there'd be so many to choose from!), but really liked the look of the "Illusion" line. I couldn't decide between the Super Scarab or Super Oil Slick. I also have small hands, and didn't want a huge ball of putty to deal with while switching between fiddling and typing. I bought this mini trio, and am really pleased. The mini putty is the perfect size to stay busy with. I keep the tins at my desk and can choose which color I want to play with each time. I'm glad I got the trio so I can switch it up!

Cool Metallic Colors and Fun to Sculpt and Play With

Reviewed in the United States on February 13, 2018

Verified Purchase

This stuff is a little overpriced, but it’s so much better than all the slime crap out there. This is more like a stretchy metallic play dough. You can shape it and sculpt it, stretch it, fold it, squish it. I bought this for my kids, but it’s kind of irresistible to play with once you’re holding it. The little tin it comes in is cute, keeps it tidy, and is nice quality. The different metallic colors are really nice too. I’d recommend it.

I got these to put in my 3 kids' Easter baskets. They'd seen the thinking putty at their cousins' and had asked for some. So they were thrilled. The colors are great and the kids have had a lot of fun with it. We did have a little trouble getting one of them out of it's tin. It seemed to want to stick a bit more than the other 2 but still ok.

My boss bought a huge pack of the mini tins to give to everyone in the office. I love this stuff, so I bought these three for myself. It's not something you buy for great value for the money, but rather a frivolous item if you enjoy it. I use it as a stress relief/distraction at work when I need to focus or ignore something. Depends on the situation. These came sealed and packaged well. No issues and not sticky or melting. I enjoy them.
