Crazy Aaron'sPoke'N Dots Popp’n Thinking Putty® - 4" Tin Thinking Putty - Non-Toxic Sensory Play Putty - Never Dries Out - Creative Toy

Purchased for mom, who's got arthritis in her hands and, therefore, not able to use various toys to exercise her fingers. This putty is perfect and better yet a lot of to play with without making a must while watching tv or talking to someone. I would recommend it 👌

First of all, it does look amazing! I must say that. The bright, happy, pink, sparkly putty with all the big and little cheerful ,candy colored dots inside. Like cupcake frosting and almost good enough to eat, lol! That said, it really doesn't live up to the "snap, crackle, pop" advertising hype. I have several other tins of putty (various sizes) by Crazy Aaron's and this putty actually makes for less popping sounds than the other ones . At 3.2 oz., this is one of the largest putty sizes I own and I wonder that might have something to do with it...also, in the hands, it feels thicker and firmer (less malleable) to begin with. I find the putty in my smaller tins (like 1.6 Oz. Pure Platinum or 20g SCENTsory Gumballer) lends itself much more readily to noise-making than this much hyped (ultra thick) Popp'n Pok'n Dots.Of course, I realize maybe some of the difficulty in achieving the desired sound effects could be due to the fact that my hands are 55 years old and slightly arthritic ( :

The putty is cute, and not overly sticky or goopy. It does have a strong smell, stronger even than other putties I have from the same brand.It's prone to ripping mid-stretch, and is too hard to really squeeze at properly. It's good at what it does, that being making cool sounds when pulled, but if you're looking for a putty you can really manhandle I'd try a smoother one.The material of the mixed in beads was a choice. They're not durable at all. I've got short fingernails and even I find that after less than a week a lot of my larger beads have been cleaved in two by general wear. It doesn't really impede the ability to use the putty, but those little chunks do fall out more easily.

As someone who likes to keep my hands busy, I'm always on the lookout for good fidget toys. This thinking putty caught my eye and after testing it out, I can confirm it lives up to both promises!The putty has a smooth texture that's extremely satisfying to squeeze and mold in your hands. The pops from the embedded dot pieces provide great sensory stimulation for fidgety fingers. The dots are also different colors and shapes, which gives your brain something to process as you play with it.I've been using this putty daily for about two weeks now and it has quickly become my go-to during Zoom meetings or phone calls when I need something for my hands to do.Both kids and adults will enjoy the tactile and mental stimulation it provides. It delivers on its claims and has become an essential tool for helping me focus!

love to have this at work, add a small amount of lotion to it to make it less tough & smell good!
