It's okay as a slime, but not putty

The name "putty egg" is misleading.  I was looking for something that is like Silly Putty in consistency.  This has the consistency of slime toys, not putty.
Update: While the toy didn't work for me due to the consistency, I let my wife, who is an 8th grade special education teacher, take these to school to give away as prizes to the kids.  They loved them, so I am bumping my overall rating up from 3 to 4 stars.  No 5 because I still think they should be labeled as a slime instead of a putty.

I thought the tube would contain a better quality "rope" but it looks just like twine. It was just a stocking stuffer, so... it was fine. I just thought it'd be cooler.

First of all, my putty must have come from an older batch, because mine does *not* glow in the dark. I'm not too upset by this because I don't play with it in the dark.

Instead of glowing "dots" it has shiny, metallic "dots" that add texture to the putty. It feels quite smooth at first and, when you stretch it, you can feel the texture grow out of the putty beneath your fingertips. Sounds weird, very cool sensation. Sometimes when you snap the putty instead of stretch it, a "dot" may pop right out. This has only happened once so far and it probably has to break in just the right location for that to happen, so I am not terribly worried about it. The orange is nice and vibrant, the eyes a vivid blue and nicely detailed. If you feel just two eyes are not enough for your creatures, additional blue eyes are available straight from Crazy Aaron (puttyworld.com). Need a different color? That's easy, too. Just search for 14mm round doll eyes right here on Amazon.

Beyond appearance, and texture, is the putty's feel, its plasticity. When it first arrived, it was *hard*. It would stretch but squeezing it provided quite the workout. I assume as the putty sits undisturbed, it just grows more and more inflexible. After my son and I played with it for a while over the course of two days, it softened right up. I've seen other, negative, reviews talking about how hard it its. It just requires some persistence if the putty has gathered some dust. Parents will want to work the stiffness out before presenting this to younger children. Once the putty has been exercised, it is quite limber, just shy of too soft. Creatures you create melt rather quickly, encouraging you to make another and another. Creations may be kept in shape for a short time by gentle handling, but they are simply not meant to have a long life span. Tragic, but simultaneously wonderful. Unlike the Super Illusions line, for instance, you can actually watch your creations melt. As the soft, slightly sticky creatures slump down, expressions change and tendrils become body lumps in very short order. The putty sticks to itself with very little encouragement so tearing it apart and sticking it back together, to add details perhaps, is quite easy. Once you get used to the way it handles and its melting speed, I'm sure you will be quite pleased with the possibilities contained within it's odd substance.

The container is just the right size for a pocket. You can carry your polymorphic creature anywhere and see it peeking out at you through the transparent, plastic lid. At least once as the putty flowed down in my pocket, the eyes and putty were perfectly positioned to look like a liquid puppy scratching the lid to get out. You wouldn't think a slime with eyes could be that cute, but there it is. The tin is quite sturdy and the plastic in the lid feels strong enough to withstand a few bumps and flexible enough that shattering is not likely. It makes a perfect home for your putty pal for many years to come.

Would I purchase another? Probably, even if only as a gift. We wouldn't want to make my little Snot jealous, now would we?

Should you purchase one? Definitely. Even if you don't like making slimy monsters, you could just toss the eyes in a drawer and still have a perfect, travel-sized putty with an interesting texture and all the properties you're looking for in a fine Thinking Putty. It stretches, it bounces, it breaks, just as it should. You'll find them to be a relatively inexpensive gift for kids of all ages considering the putty is self-healing if it breaks, its batteries never run out, and it lasts forever.

Hard to get super excited about a putty knife, but it seems to work as it should and it was a fine price.

This has more of the consistency of a glitter glue and a paint. The glitter is not very concentrated either, but it's a cute color and works so far. I would stick with the Martha paints though.

This stuff is a little stiff, but not too bad.  Not for bungee jumping.

It's ok, got rid of some of the old glue even after hours of "soaking", not all was gone.
I'm on the fence about this one

I have to say, I wanted to love this but I didn't. After learning about how gross sponges are, I googled alternatives and decided to give this a shot. It takes a lot more soap to use because it doesn't absorb. It's good for easily washable things (just used, nothing stuck to them, you know), but for dirtier dishes I end up using a sponge. My roommates don't like it at all, I like it fine for most tasks but occasionally need to bring out the big guns.

The product is everything it says it is. The kids I've used it with don't seem to enjoy it as much as other sensory materials like slime and play dough. It's fun to squeeze, but you can't really make anything with it--it won't hold a shape. So it's a cool sensory toy, but the kids just don't seem too excited about it.

It works well independently but I found that once we mixed it into the goo for my daughters mad scientist party it barely changed color.  I think the chemical reaction from the slime we created caused it to not be as responsive.  The water, glue, etc. that were all mixed together kept the slime cold even after you'd held it in your hand for a while thus null and voiding it's ability to change.  We still have leftovers but I'm going to save it for a different project.

Same consistency as silly putty. It is just silver glitter putty, nothing special. Its still neat to play with though.

As a very experienced slimer and putty collector, this is ok. It was fun to play with and It stayed farely clear. But! It was NOT strechy at all. It was very fun to play with though and did the job! I would recomend,as long ass you are okay with it not being strechy.

If your looking to buy this to make cloud slime its not the best.

I like the shampoo's ingredients, and baby is not allergic to it. The smell is a bit too strong for me but ok.
However, as other reviewers stated, it is very watery and cannot be just dispensed on fingertips and applied, like other shampoos. I figured to put it into a foaming dispenser I had left from another shampoo, and it foams just fine. Now, after a few months of sitting in the bathroom cabinet, it is finally getting good use :)

I was a little disappointed when I realized that the putty itself is not magnetic but can be affected by magnets, But it is still lots of fun to play with.

Silly putty is always enjoying, but even better when at an affordable price.  I use it for my ADHD students who need to keep their hands busy.  It is a wonderful tool for that.  As far as durability though, it is silly putty, and that said it will get stuck on carpet or get whatever item it gets in contact with stuck in it (hair, dirt, ink, etc.)  Don't drop it and careful where you bounce it and you should be okay.

not suitable for me, but the stuff is a good one.
