Super Illusions Lava Thinking Putty

Work Your Hands - Work Your Brain
Immerse yourself in the fascinating world of lava, the molten rock that emerges from deep within the Earth during volcanic eruptions. Formed from magma, this fiery substance undergoes dramatic transformations as it journeys to the surface, influenced by its temperature and mineral composition. In the case of Super Illusions Thinking Putty®, you'll witness a captivating color metamorphosis. From vibrant orange to shimmering crimson copper, then from deep brown to rich reddish-black, this putty mirrors the mesmerizing hues of real lava as it cools and solidifies. Prepare to be awed by the dynamic beauty of nature captured in this unique sensory experience!

When one of our children was a preschooler, we received the best advice a parent of a kinesthetic child could receive: Let her wiggle. And wiggle she did. I don't think she sat for schoolwork for many years. But sometimes pirouettes and somersaults can distract other children, especially when dealing with a mixed bag of modalities. The visual students, in particular, will go bonkers trying to be attentive in the presence of a human pogo stick. However, the kinesthetic child can't be attentive without movement. A workable compromise is a handheld fidget of some sort. Over the years, we have investigated several fidgets; some were silly, some were creepy, and some were flimsy. I broke three in one week, and I'm not even kinesthetic! When a shipment of Thinking Putty arrived, I was eager to see how it fared. The results were outstanding!

Thinking Putty is enhanced with knock-your-socks-off colors that shift or morph as you squeeze. All non-toxic, non-gooey Thinking Putty versions will bounce, stretch, tear, drip, snap, and even shatter. Silicone-based, they will never dry out.

Thinking Putty is an impressive adult-sized handful of high-quality moldable putty. Not just for wiggly children, Thinking Putty is also a stress-relieving, soothing slab of super-smooth elastic putty for tense office workers and impatient computer geeks. It also can be used as a hand exercise for guitar players or therapy for arthritic hands. Each tin arrives with one-fifth of a pound of Thinking Putty and a label that says Crazy Aaron's Thinking Putty. We offer many mesmerizing versions of thinking putty. Each tin contains enough putty for a couple of children to use simultaneously.
