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

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'm 65 yo and I've tried EVERYTHING in my lifetime to use to stay still. I drove my parents insane 😳 because I was perpetual motion incarnate. This product 👌 👏 is the be all, end all of fidget toys! I had been using art erasers prior to trying this, but for 15 bucks, it's a steal. I love ❤️ it! Problem solved-- finally! 😁

Great product! I use it while on conference calls to maintain focus. I love the calming colors

I personally really like this stuff that helps me when I need to stim.

I was searching for something to help calm my overactive thoughts, as the silly putty I had been using previously wasn’t quite effective. I was very pleased with this product—it has no scent, is extremely soft and pliable, and the stretchiness adds to its soothing quality. I also appreciated the size and felt the value was excellent.The only issue I encountered was with the packaging. After removing the outer plastic, I found the canister lid was glued shut and extremely difficult to open. I ultimately had to use pliers to get it open, which should not have been necessary.Despite that, this is a fantastic product. It’s durable, retains its softness even when left outside the container, and I definitely plan to purchase it again in other colors.

Love this!! It is very nice for adults to play with to relieve stress. Not messy at all!!

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.

There are a couple things that bother me about this. For months I've been playing with a piece of blue-tack that's about the size of a cherry, and decided to get something specifically meant for fiddling. I chose this product in the Scarab color because I love colorshift.Well - in the first place, the colors are only visible in direct sunlight. In interior lighting (LED or incandescent), or on overcast days, it appears a shiny medium blue-grey. The color wasn't my prime reason for purchasing, but it is enough of a disappointment to drop a star.Secondly, this is much softer than the blue-tack was. If I form the blue-tack into a ball and walk away for an hour, it holds its shape. But if I form this putty into a ball and walk away for an hour, it softens into a flat puddle. I mistakenly left it on the arm of my upholstered chair and it kind of melted into the fabric. If I hold it in my hand (getting distracted while I browse the internet or something), it softens and conforms to the skin on my hand, picking up all the folds and lines, and is a little difficult to remove. This is why I dropped the second star.I also did find it difficult to open the can but that's minor because once it's open, it's staying open. But, if I had this to do over again, I would have bought Silly Putty, which holds its shape and doesn't melt. I may yet do that.
