I wrote this post on behalf of Crazy Aaron’s Putty World Band and their PR Company. Mama to 5 Blessings received products in exchange for an honest review. This is not a sponsored review and all views and opinions are of my own and were not influenced in any way.
I have an antsy child, he just simply cannot sit still. He has lots of energy so we have to find ways for him to use that energy during quiet times like in our homeschooling. There are times in our homeschooling where he needs to sit and listen as I read so in order to keep him busy and sitting still he plays with Crazy Aaron’s Thinking Putty.
In 1998 Aaron Muderick was working as a software engineer. Writing code all day offers periodic pauses as code is uploaded to the server. During one of those pauses, Muderick picked up a piece of Silly Putty on his desk and squished it mindlessly waiting for his code to process. Soon his co-workers wanted a piece of the putty too. Muderick decided to make his own and 16 years later, Puttyworld is a hit with kids and adults alike.
As a child I have played with putty type products and so have my children but Crazy Aaron’s Putty World products are unique because it comes in over 30 exciting colors, never dries out, and is all 100% Made in the USA! Not only do they come in fun colors but they have some that glow in the dark, magnetic and. heat sensitive. All three of these are my son’s favorite.
All the putty’s are unique but the Glow in the Darks is hypnotic and irresistible! With it’s milky white color in daylight and glowing appears when the lights dim. It comes with a black light key chain to write messages on the putty and draw special designs. You can even do cool tricks with Glow in the Dark Thinking Putty. After exposure to light (the brighter, the better), these colors will glow for hours.
Then there is the Super Magnetics Thinking Putty that can be is stretched, molded, or shaped, the putty has no magnetic charge and behaves like any other Thinking Putty. However, in the presence of a magnetic field, its magnetic forces begin to align. Suddenly, a truly Super Magnetic Thinking Putty is created that will attract to one magnetic pole and repel from the other.
Finally there is the Heat Sensitive Hypercolors. Just a touch from your hands or a warm coffee mug will reveal a new “hot” color. Allow it to cool off or stick it in the fridge! Then the “cool” color will be restored. Turning from orange to a pale yellow color as the temperature changes.
These products are wonderful on so many levels: for play – allowing children to use their creativity and imagination, relief for stress – working out stress with your hands while stretching and kneading the putty or great for homeschoolers to use as science experiments as well as great for children strengthening their motor skills, dexterity and hand muscles.
All Crazy Aaron’s Thinking Putty can be purchased from Crazy Aaron’s Putty World. All Putty comes in 3.2 oz heavy duty metal tin containers which are great so that the putty does not harden, every container is filled with 1/5 lb. of putty too! Prices range from $9.00 to $14.95 each. These products make the perfect Christmas stocking stuffer!

My boys would have so much fun with this putty. The fact that it glows in the dark is so much fun.
The glow in the dark part makes it even more fun!
This stuff looks really fun! My kids love messy, gooey things so this is right up their alley.
Amy – the good thing about these products is that they are not messy – clean fun!
My boys would have a blast with that. I need to get them some.
We haven’t played with putty in years! Love that its glow in the dark too! Cool!
That is super awesome that it is glow in the dark… Love it 🙂
I love how he came up with it!! My husband writes code… it’s a brain drain for sure 😉
I have a ‘can’t sit still’ 8 year old. He’d be all in for this! Cool glow!
So fun. My kids would have the best time playing with that.
We LOVE Crazy Aaron’s putty! We keep it in the car so the kids have a ton of fun playing with ours when we hit the road! I’d love to try the glow in the dark or heat sensitive ones though!
My kids love putty and this would be great to get for them. Loving the creative play with your little one. Just look at that beard. 🙂
That looks like loads of fun. I love toys that encourage creativity.
I always loved putty as a child, but having 30 colors and varieties to pick from? I would have been in heaven! I think I’d like the color changing putty the most!
I agree jenna, I only had one if I was lucky! lol
Oooh! This stuff looks like a lot of fun to play with! I have a little guy who is pretty antsy, too, so I think that he might really benefit from this! I’d probably be right next to him playing along, too. 😛
I love the fact that this stuff never dries out. Once, I left the silly putty out. Needless to say, I had to get another one for the kids.
Whoah! The magnetic one is a new one for me.. I had seen glow in the dark and heat sensitive putties before but magnetic just blew my mind! Want!!
I love this! This is so much better than the silly putty I used to play with when I was a kid. The only cool thing you could do with that was copy the funnies.
These sound so cool! I can’t imagine any kid that wouldn’t love to play with this putty. I’d like to get one for my little boy 🙂
Love the glow in the dark silly putty.
I can think of a few practical jokes to play with that!
Awesome 🙂
Your little ones look like they had a blast playing with the putty.
I’ve had this before. It’s so much fun (I had to hide it from the kids LOL)
i loved silly putty as a child and my kids love it. i agree with Jennifer – it was all about copying the funny pages in my day.
Am I the only one who knows that I would play with these more than my kids? Ha! I have always loved putty… not sure why, but it is just fun to play with.
My son would love this. I remember using it back in the day to superimpose the newspaper. I love the fact that it’s glow in the dark.
I’ve got to get some of this stuff for my kids. You can do so much cool stuff with it.
I love that this glows in the dark! That’s a lot of fun for kids!
We have some of that putty and my kids love it, even my 13 year old. I love the glow in teh dark one.
How fun! This is definitely something to consider for a stocking stuffer! Thank you!
My kids are absolutely crazy about putty! They love to make all kinds of fun things with it. But they would love some glow in the dark putty!
How much fun is that?! I love that it comes in so many colors. The putty I played with was just brown and boring. Blah.
Oh how cool! My I could see my kiddos playing with that for hours. Especially the glow in the dark. 🙂
In my day it was Silly Putty, but this one looks so much better. Love the glow in the dark feature.
I think is better than the silly putty that we had when I was little. I think I might just give this my college age daughter for when she has exams.
That is way cooler than the putty I had when I was a kid! My son would love it.
My son loves playing with slime and playdough. This looks like something he would love.
I hadn’t heard of this kind before, but the glow in the dark sounds super fun. I can see that kids would absolutely love it because of that.
It seems like one little piece of putty can keep them busy for hours! I used to have so much fun with silly putty and this seems to be much more fun than that!
My kids now requested this stuff for Christmas. I am thinking of getting them some.
This looks like so much fun. I can not wait to get some and try it. I know a few people that will be getting some for Christmas.
I played with putty as a child too. This looks fun!
The Heat Sensitive Hypercolors sound really cool! I think this is something my nephew would enjoy playing with.
This would be a great thing to bring on the plane for my kids for our upcoming trip!
I have to check this out because my kids really like playing with all kinds of putty products.
That is so cool. My son is 15 and I bet he’d get a kick out of that still.
Forget my kids, I would love to play with this stuff. I used to get putty in my stocking each year at Christmas.
My nephews have a putty. They’re crazy for it.
My little would LOVE this!!!! I love how it could help her with sensory issues
This is a great idea for a stocking stuffer or Halloween gift! Especially the glow in the dark version!
I’m a middle school teacher and have students who really struggle to focus in class. This would give them something to do with their hands while still being able to listen and contribute to class discussion.
I have so many great memories of putty and always pick up some for my boys for stocking stuffers or to put in their Easter baskets. I love that Crazy Aaron’s putty is made in the USA and that it has so many colors. I will keep an eye out for it this Christmas!
They have so many varieties. There are a lot of fun options like the magnet, that you can’t find anywhere else!
Oh I love the silly putty and all of it’s creative uses! Thank you for sharing.
I remember playing with putty when I was a kid, loved using it on comics. This looks really cool.
Perfect gift for the holidays – I always fill a cute bag with lots of items for the kids.
I can definitely see my kiddos having fun with that! Fab stocking stuffer!
This putty looks like great fun! It would be a great way to get my kids finding new ways to play with each other too.
putty is so much fun. thow in glow in the dark and it totally rocks.
My two youngest would love this stuff. I think that I would enjoy playing with it too!
