Crazy Aaron's Thinking Putty® - Cosmic Star Dust - Multi-Color Sensory Putty for Kids and Adults in a 4" Tin - Creative and Endless Fun, Stress Relief Therapy Toys, Never Dries Out - Made in USA

Autism Usage:I was finally diagnosed with autism at age 30, and looked for stim toys that were just like the ones that I always played with as a kid, especially squishy things. I love that it's spacey black with glittering stars, and handling it helps to keep me calm and keep my hands busy.UV Light:The itty bitty UV flashlight that comes with it can only shine on a tiny bit of surface area at a time, so it's impossible to get the whole lump of putty to glow all at once. Also, you have to hold down the button for the light to stay on, which gets tiring for your hand. I purchased a larger UV flashlight separately, and now making the putty glow is much more enjoyable.Tin:Be careful how you store the tin. If it gets turned sideways or upside down, the putty will get into the crevices of the tin and seal the lid shut. After not using the putty for a few months, I had to pry the tin open with a screwdriver which is why my tin now looks dented.Longevity:I've had this putty for a year now, and it's still just as pliable and glowy as it was when I first purchased it.Conclusion:Overall, I'm quite pleased. This autistic adult is a very happy camper.

This stuff is awesome! It's great for someone who needs to fidget with something. Texture is like moldable rubber. I remember having this stuff as a kid and I actually kept a piece which never dried out because it's silly putty and that's the awesome part about it. I love the stardust, one of my favorites. It's very pretty when you use a black light on it, also lights it up quicker. I did receive my tin and was difficult to open, but it made a fun challenge for me. Be helps to twist to he lid as you pull but I if you have a file or put near heater it will try be open quickly. I've never found putty to ever dry out even if you leave lid off. The reason the tin comes half full is because if they filled it ( which I bought two of the same to have double amount and put it in one tin) and the tin was glued shut and only by experimenting with heat and small objects that could fit under the lip that I managed to figure a way to open it. I would definitely recommend this. It doesn't stay stuck to your hands like gak, and it's great for anxiety or someone who needs to fiddle. Thank you

I’d first like to say that I rarely write Amazon reviews. This is perhaps my second or third of all time. With that in mind, I of course did not purchase this putty planning to write a review.That all changed once I got my hands on this textured goop from heaven. This has been so fun to play with and keep my hands active while working or scrolling through things throughout the work day. The texture is also dynamic and strengthening. It gets soft the more you work it, and then hardens again once you put it down.Feeling aside, this thing is a joy to look at and create shapes with. The UV light brings out a glow that’s visually enchanting, and throughout the day the sparkles provide tons of shine to get lost in.If you’re a putty person, I’d consider this batch an essential addition to your arsenal. If you’re not yet a putty person, I encourage you to give this a try. Perhaps you’ll get converted to a putty person just like I have.

The putty is great as Aaron’s always is but the blue light provided to create the glow is a stretch of the imagination.

The media could not be loaded. Great for developing strength in the hands. An alternative to a fidgeting toy. Good stretch. The light is okay but it's not easy to do with just 1 person playing. I personally do not use it. There is so much in this tin. I just use a portion of it usually. It is a dark black color with shimmer it stretches for days. It can be messy so be pre warned that if it gets into the carpet. Good luck.

Amazing for stress. As others mentioned, the first time you open it, the putty may be adhering to both the top and bottom of the container, so just pull them apart slowly, then start pulling the putty out and consolidating it into one piece. You can scrape it off the tin with your fingernail and then squish it onto a part that is still stuck and gradually you'll get it all. You only have to do that once. As long as you always put it away in the lower part of the can, smush it down a bit, then put the lid on, if you keep the container horizontal it will be easy to open.

Absolutely love this stuff

Great item for fidgeting no notes to add
