Crazy Aaron'sHide Inside!® Gnome Home Thinking Putty® - Collectible Sensory Play Putty with Hidden Surprises - Non-Toxic, Never Dries Out - Creative Toy

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.

Not flexible at all. Got it and it was hard as a rock and would not budge at all when trying to loosen it

I bought this thinking putty to give my hands something to do & allow me to concentrate better while on work calls. I was using something else, but it stained my clothes if any fell on them. This putty is nice and does keep me busy. I only gave it 4 stars because of 2 things. 1) My old eyes have a hard time seeing/finding the 6 Gnomes. Cheater glasses did help, and I really like searching for them! 2) The texture of the filler (the gnomes and mushrooms) is hard and hurt my fingers after searching for a while. Other than that, I like the putty. I may buy another one with just glitter in it next time to avoid the finger sensitivity issue. Do highly recommend for those, like me, who do better with something to help keep their hands busy.

I just began my Crazy Aaron’s addiction and love all their products! But hear me out, there’s no gnomes. I’ve personally put my eyes on every single mushroom. one. by. one. yall. Anyone else have this problem? Can people respond to reviews? Thanks in advance!

My daughter got this as a gift and we ordered more for not only her but to have as backup bday gifts for last minute parties!Great hands on look and find!
