Liquid Glass Putty

My son loves this putty. He loves that there’s special faces that you have to find. I like that it doesn’t make a mess! Overall we’re happy with this purchase!

I bought Gnome Home to help with pulling and picking and general sensory processing issues and it has been so helpful. The tin arrived in great condition, in a cute box, and I appreciate that they aren’t plastic. No leakage or sticking, the lid came off slowly the first time but no issues. I accidentally dropped it on a fleece blanket and it doesn’t stick at all, the stretch is good and texture-wise it has a nice firmness and little lumps and bumps from the fimo clay mushrooms and gnomes. I also really enjoyed the search for the six gnomes and was excited when I found them all! I love the little sparkle it has and read their glitter is biodegradable, so that’s a plus too! Overall I’ve found this to be a soothing, successful fidget and look forward to trying different textures from Aaron’s.

This review is in two parts, first Thinking Putty, second the individual color review. Thinking Putty - This is basically silly putty. Same feel, texture, material (silicone, which doesn't dry out), etc. What is different though is that you get a lot more then those small and even big egg shells. You get 1/5 a pound, or 3.2 ounces. Basically the tin covers your entire palm area easily. Although the tin is half full so it isn't too hard to put it back in. The other difference is that these come in much better colors, well unless you like the coral pink of silly putty. These colors make Thinking putty special. You can get all the primary colors, red, white, black, blue, green, etc. OK, those aren't hard to imagine. Then there are metallic and electrics. These I believe have mica in them. They are shiny and have swirls slightly darker and lighter colors. I say slightly. Think of a pearl or dull metal. Then there are the color changers. The use heat to change color to a lighter version of the color. Cool to return to the original shade. And the glow in the darks. One color during daylight, another at night. And these do no use the glow material they used 10-20 years ago. This is more expensive but glows some 10X longer. And then there are two special colors. Magnetic, which is slightly or slowly if you prefer magnetic. And glass, which is clear. For more on these, please see other reviews. Is thinking color kids? No. Give them silly putty. It is cheaper. If they love that, then give them this. Also this is called thinking putty because it is for adults to mush around while they are thinking. Or think of it like a stress ball. ---------- Liquid Glass. I just got this a day ago, so this review is mostly first impressions, a little playing with it. Let me get to the point, I love it. This is my favorite thinking putty so far I have three). This is clear, like glass when you get it. In fact when you first open you may feel the tin is empty. You can clearly see the bottom of the tin. But look closer and you can see little air bubbles or the top glossy surface. I mean this stuff is crystal clear as glass. First thing I suggest you do is press your thumb in the top. It is neat to see your finger print pressed into glass. I have heard the old version of this was stickier then the other "colors". I didn't notice much difference. But then again maybe if I let this sit in my hand and warm up a lot it might. I actually spent most of the time playing with it in the tin. I do wonder how it will hold up with a lot of play. Other colors if you get dust or a hair in it it is not a big deal as it will get buried and you won't see it. But with this, you see everything. So you might want to divide up the match and only play with 1/2 or 1/3 and keep the clear for non hand holding... Remember, I have only had this a day so I don't know how it will hold up for clarity. Of course it should still be a putty like any other. I do notice that liquid glass is more liquid then the other colors of putty. Over night it will fill the bottom of the container, where other colors will flatten out but not fill out or even have a nice smooth top. Also note that if you play with this putty in your hand it will get cloudy with your finger prints. But after a few minutes it will clear up again. Also you will see how many air bubbles you add to it by playing. For me, I like glass, I love watching the glass blowers, etc. I love this thinking putty. Liquid glass is my favorite and I plan to get more.

the putty is really fun but the squishy ball broke the day i got it while squeezing and stretching!

I bought Arons before and my bigs love it. This time i bought i For my austic teens Bag she carries. The egg is funny. How ever the yoke isnt putty but a squishy wich dose every will in the putty and stretchy really good.

This is a product you can do without. I am currently writing a book about slime as a guide for parents detailing the benefits of creating and playing with slime,the best approach and tips for making slime, the products to buy, the cleanup, and so on. Although I believe the real joy of slime comes from making your own, I am also evaluating the various slimes available for purchase on Amazon, Ebay and the numerous profusion of new slime stores selling their homemade creations on Etsy. So yes, this aspect requires purchasing a lot of product. I couldn't wait to get my hands on Crazy Aaron's Thinking Putty. It is a #1 best seller in slime and putty on Amazon. His 3.2 ounce cans of putty come in 25 appealing varieties, each dubbed with a creative name. The putties are prime and fulfilled by Amazon, selling for $13.99/can. Crazy Aaron has close to four thousand reviews with an average rating of 3.5 stars. I ordered 5 tins of his liquid glass putty, as this type is the most difficult kind for kids to create on their own. I thought my grandchildren would enjoy them. The product was delivered in a timely manner and was extremely well- packaged. Unfortunately, the putty was unusable as it immediately ripped when stretched. It did arrive on a very cold day and perhaps was frozen. This may have permanently destroyed its elasticity. Realizing this was a possibility, I waited a few days before opening it. What a disappointment. When I attempted to return the canisters, a message on the screen alerted me that refunds were not available. $70.00 out the door. The worst part was that when I sent a text to Crazy Aaron explaining the problem, I never received a reply. Of the other numerous slimes and putties I ordered, including those that were liquid glass, despite the freezing temperatures, all arrived in excellent condition with a little bag of borax in case they were under- activated. The one exception was a 12-pack of colored clear-glue slimes that were over-activated and ripped when stretched. I had no problem obtaining a refund. Aaron's add promises, "Hours of fun, great for all ages." The joy of slime does not come from THINKING. The fun comes from feeling the textures and smells, the stimulation of creativity, while the mind simultaneously stops its ever present inner dialogue, allowing one to just delight in the experience. The name THINKING PUTTY has to go.

This putty is ok. It breaks if you pull it apart without warming it up quite a bit first! I also thought it was gonna be silver or sparkly based on the front of the tin but it’s literally clear, no color at all! That said, it is squishy and fun to stick your fingers in and move around! It is somewhat stress relieving I just wish it had more give to it! It’s honestly not the easiest to use! You have to work with it a lot!!

I have over a dozen Crazy Aaron's putties, and this hidden gnome one is definitely one of my favorites. It is so visually appealing and just packed with cool mushrooms and glitter. The texture of all the clay pieces inside while playing with it is just fantastic as well. And like most other Aaron's putties, the pieces inside (including the glitter) stay in the putty; you don't even get any glitter stuck to your hands while playing with it. Also, strangely, mine came smelling exactly like sugar cookies. This isn't marketed as a scented putty, and I noticed some other people have said it stinks, but to me it smells just like sugar cookies. For reference, none of my other Aaron's putties have any smell, aside from maybe a very faint glue-like scent on a couple of them. I also need to point out that nearly every single negative review is plain wrong, as they all stem from the putty partially leaking or usually from it being a little separated or seemingly "dried out." The fact is that this stuff doesn't dry out. Yes, since it is putty, it will move around in the canister during shipping, toward wherever down is oriented. This means it might separate a little or get pieces stuck between the lid and jar or even leak out a little. That's literally just the nature of any putty or slime or goop, etc. Every single jar I've gotten, whether from Amazon or somewhere else, has moved and stuck to various parts of the jar by the time I open it. Literally, all you have to do is grab the main clump of putty and use it to pull the other bits off of the lid and canistet or even the inside of the package if it leaked. It takes less than a minute, it's unavoidable, it's well worth the miniscule amount of trouble, and the putty is still in perfect condition. And as long as you don't store it sideways, it's the only time you'll have to do it. Hey yourself some of this putty, it'd so well worth it.
