- Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2024Color: Gnome HomeVerified PurchaseI 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.

- Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2025Color: Sweet SurpriseVerified PurchaseI love Crazy Aaron's thinking putty. It is a fantastic fidget. You can easily use it with both hands. I especially like these Hide Inside varieties. They are chock full of little pieces. Most of the pieces are the same, but there are just one each of 6 or so special pieces that you can try to find somewhere in the putty. Crazy Aaron's is a great brand that I would recommend to anyone who enjoys tactile stimulation and keeping their hands busy. I don't understand why anyone at all would not enjoy Crazy Aaron's thinking putty.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2025Color: Gnome HomeVerified Purchasevery cutee! very high quality, others say the little bits hurt but if you stim using pain this really helps! it hurts but not enough to actually harm, i recommend for those who use pain to stim or to use as sensory!
- Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2025Color: Gnome HomeVerified PurchaseThis was good overall! A few flaws though. I loved finding the gnomes in the putty! However, the blue gnome was missing but all I really care about is playing with it. It made some satisfying crackling sounds when I spread it apart. Sometimes it would rip, but fun to squish. It even came with a word search on the packaging which I didn't expect but fun to do. I don't know if it's worth 15 dollars, but won't stick to your carpet or stain something so better for kids than giving them slime. I think the price should be 5 or 7 dollars, it's fun but the flaws make it slightly more difficult to play with. But I love it and it's a great toy for kids, I recommend this if you're looking for a cheap gift for someone. It's also not sticky like slime, either.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 19, 2024Color: Mixed EmotionsVerified PurchaseArrived dried up. The entirety of the putty was hard and dried, and stuck to the lid which was hard to open.
Now have to take time out of my day to package and return, only for another to arrive after Christmas. Annoying.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 3, 2025Color: Mixed EmotionsVerified PurchaseKids love it. Very good quality. Fun and relaxing. It stretches pretty well without making a mess. I would say it's worth getting it.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2025Color: Gnome HomeVerified PurchaseGreat for my daughter with autism. However she was immediately not happy with the fact it is scented despite NOT being marketed as one with a scent. That is why I am marking it down as three stars. Hopefully we can find a way to remove the smell.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 29, 2024Color: Party AnimalsVerified PurchaseI planned a two day team offsite and needed some fidgets to keep the group occupied. I got one for each team member and they were able to take them home. They LOVED IT! Not sticky feeling at all and super durable. I love that stretchiness and that you can get lost in the putty trying to find all the little tiny pieces. Doesn’t dry out and works well!

I bought this for my 8 year old him and I love it. I probably play with it more than him. I love finding games and slime so combined it is just awesome.

5.0 out of 5 stars A hit with kids
Color: Mixed EmotionsVerified PurchaseAlthough this brand is on the higher price side of things when it comes to slime, it really is good quality and you can tell when you play with it. All kids seem to love this stuff!
- Donna de Saint AromainReviewed in Australia on August 9, 2024
5.0 out of 5 stars Good Fun
Color: Mixed EmotionsVerified PurchaseBought a tub for my teen grandson and one for myself. The whole family gets sucked into this putty, as you need to search for six totally different emojis amongst the hundreds of the smiley emojis. It’s a bit consuming but lotsa fun. And of course there’s the actual manipulation of the putty that feels good to do. It’s always on my coffee table and someone is always grabbing it, eager to see how quickly they can spy those six sneaky emojis. Get it!
- Courtney ParbsReviewed in Australia on January 6, 2024
4.0 out of 5 stars Very fun
Color: Sweet SurpriseVerified PurchaseBrought for my daughter. She loves that it’s a game of hid and seek as well as she can play with it. Only thing is that the kid is very hard to get off, but that also means nothing spills out.

5.0 out of 5 stars High quality
Color: Sweet SurpriseVerified PurchaseThis is a great present for children, keeps them amused for hours . They love the colours and textures, the feel of it and stretchiness of it .
You can take it anywhere with you, to keep it the children amused. Love all the little bits in it , this makes it more fun.
