It's part toy, part stress reliever, part physical therapy and entirely addictive. Really Crystal clear Liquid Glass Thinking Putty develops a cloudy appearance that quickly fades back to crystal clarity once you put it down. Enter your model number to make sure this fits.
Reviews
"I just want to warn everyone who is thinking about this product for a small child: it s very cool, great way to learn about magnetism and hexotropic substances (latter for older students, obviously) the way that it is made magnetic is by suspending ferrous particles in the putty. (no detectible magnetic reaction reduction after 3 weeks of 3-4 hours/day being magnetized and demagnetized repeatedly) HOWEVER..."
"I've actually been eyeing the Crazy Aaron's Thinking Putty for years, and the price was great, but the cool chromatic color shift putty sold me. Overall, there are no negatives with this stuff (except the given that hairs can get stuck in it if you aren't careful) and I already want a second tin to keep at home!"
"This putty has a better texture than the colored putties."
"My daughter added some bath and body works cream to this putty to make it more pliable, as it was originally pretty stiff."
"If you ever get it in the carpet, rubbing alcohol and a scrub brush are the only thing I've found to remove it."
"Crazy putty is magnetic and fun to use."
"So after trying to scratch out the putty with my fingernails, I searched online - with my now smurf-blue stained fingers - for the best way to get this evil concoction out of cloth... Somewhere I read that rubbing alcohol takes it out (I think I read that on some website connected to the product, because it certainly wasn't written by someone actually trying to get this adorably-packaged-biohazard out of cloth). He couldn't have missed the overwhelming smell of alcohol though so, in case he was considering calling child services, I showed him the bottle of rubbing alcohol - which I think he thought I was offering to him because he waved his hand in a "no thank you" motion. My kids liked it anyway because when you press something into it you get an imprint - like, you know, you get with regular silly putty - only for significantly less money. I'm giving it two stars instead of one because I'm sure it has some unexplored scientific benefit, like bonding bulletproof cloth with silk or something."
"I got the liquid glass and it's foggy and is only clear when it's sat out for hours and even then it's more like "liquid seltzer water" So sad :( wish they would take returns or at least exchange it for me."

Trianium Fidget Cube Anti-Stress/Anti-anxiety and Depression Ball Prime Quality Toy for Children, Teen, Student, Adult [Easy Carrying] Finger Dice Stress Reliever for Work, School, Class
TOP QUALITY + COMMITMENT. Made with high-quality plastic, our fidget cube is designed to help relieve your everyday stress and anxiety. Reduce Stress, Increase Concentration, and Relieve Anxiety; a great idea for a gift to some friend who can't keep their fingers still.
Reviews
"Hi, I ordered the Trianium Fidget Cube because I had read about them. The cube is six sided, with gadgets on each side to keep idle fingers busy."
"It is a hard plastic construction with what a lot of companies advertise as a 'soft touch' finish. 3 of these click crisply while 1 mushes and the other is super stiff and can barely be pushed down. The switch can be slowly rocked and you can feel exactly when the piece underneath moves to spring it in the opposite direction. It features the same soft touch material in an inset oval to guide your finger. I expected a smooth rolling marble, but this catches and becomes much harder to move periodically. This is just a wheel that you spin by catching your finger on the tiny bump on one edge. Overall, almost every single one of my gripes can be attributed to poor manufacturing and too large of tolerances. That being said, there are no sharp edges, flashing, or burrs anywhere on this, and is has yet to break or any single part to change in the way it works, so the manufacturing is within the acceptable range for this type of product."
"Bought this along with the Krazy spinner."
"I bought two of them to see what the hype was about, and I was VERY satisfied with what I got."
"Just like a little kid playing with a new toy I played with every button, knob, switch for a long time."
"Bought this for the wife who is a serial fidgeter."
"The spinners are almost completely silent, which compared with the small form factor is great for the office as it doesn't disturb my co-workers."
"It was flimsy and felt like it could break at any moment."

Reviews
"Early this year I purchased new large 2016 sets of Magnatiles and Picasso tiles and ran them through a few hours of comparisons. Picasso tiles are about 1% larger and heaver, but the Picasso Tile magnets may be 1% stronger (yep, you read that right). (As in, for every extra 100 square tiles in a build, Picasso tiles have the added weight equivalent of a single tile). If Magnatiles really outshined Picasso Tiles in terms of stability, I was ready to pay the premium price, but as hard as I tried to show a clear or measurable advantage for the Magnatiles currently being manufactured, I couldn't. ------------------------------------. Background: After buying Picasso tiles two years ago, I have always wondered if I was missing out on a much better product in the Magnatiles brand. Picasso tiles have a 100-piece set priced at $100. Magnatiles are approximately twice the price for anyone who needs to purchase within 90 days (because the Picasso tiles go on sale much more regularly). Picasso tiles weigh an average of 27.52 grams per tile (a 1.03% difference). From a physics standpoint, the reinforcing lines inside the Magnatiles (which criss-cross through the middle of the tile) are more logically arranged to distribute forces throughout the tile and prevent breakage. I believe that it is this tiny ~1% size difference that makes the Picasso tiles slightly heavier overall (they are 1.03% heaver per tile). Basically, if you use 971 square Picasso tiles in one build and 971 square Magnatiles in another, your Picasso tiles build will weigh the equivalent of 10 extra tiles. If the tiles are assembled randomly, the difference would be small, but if you did a whole row of Magnatiles next to a whole row of Picasso tiles, the difference could be a little problematic. I'm going to start by saying that I kept the tiles from each brand stacked in identical piles and worked my way down through the stack, using a new tile for each test. The Picasso tile magnets were able to attract test object A at an average distance of .95 mm from the edge of the tile. The Magnatiles averaged .75 mm (so the Picasso tiles were able to pull something from farther away). Test object B resulted in Picasso tiles having a range of .55 mm and Magnatiles .5 mm. Basically, in the most conservative measure, the magnets in Picasso tiles are every bit as strong as the magnets in the Magnatiles (and may even be 1.1.-1.27% stronger). Now, because the Picasso tiles are slightly larger, it is possible that the size difference is on edges outside the magnets (I do not have the tools to be able to measure something this small very well). It is possible that this means that the magnets in the Magnatiles are slightly closer together when the tiles are in place side-to-side (too small of a difference for me to measure) yielding a tiny stability advantage. An alternate possibility is that the magnatiles magnets are placed further into the tile (by less than my measurable amount of 1 mm). (I'll put up a video of just one example of the tests run-you'll notice I didn't swap the tiles out in that video as it was a preliminary one, but I repeated the test with new sets of tiles and the video accurately reflects the results. Because the Picasso tile edges are about 1% larger, we know that there is (1% or less) more plastic (therefore space) between the magnets when a tile is placed perpendicular to another tile in a build. If you don't have tiles, you might want to know that the tile does not sit on top of one it is perpendicular to; instead, it is just outside the tile with the corner edges touching. There were no build differences using actual tiles, even in large builds; they failed at the same point every time. In a truly massive build, this would confer a very small advantage, but for all intents and purposes, this was a real-world wash. Summary on magnets: Let's say as the most conservative estimate that the magnets are identical from the same factory in China (even though the Picasso tile magnets measured 1% stronger, which seemed to negate the fact that the magnets may be slightly farther apart in building). As previously mentioned, the Picasso tiles *may* have a tiny bit more plastic between them on the edges, do have a tiny bit more plastic between the magnets placed perpendicular to each other, and are slightly heavier overall. I conducted additional large build tests, having the subjective impression that Magnatiles might fail about a split-second after the Picasso Tiles, but every time I found a difference, I went through and made sure the tiles were in exactly the same position (the tiles can sit slightly inside/outside of the tile beneath the one it is "connected" to). When I took the time to ensure that every tile was in the exact same position, I could never find the difference that I kept thinking I would find and both sets of tiles failed at the same point on every build test. ***Requests - Picasso Tiles, if you read reviews, I strongly believe you should be offering rectangles (the shape of two small squares side by side) as your primary building shape."
"The only notable difference between the two brands of tiles (other than price) is that MagnaTiles have round metal rivets in the corners that hold the tiles together."
"Magna-blocks and Picasso tiles are completely interchangeable, almost identical."
"Together it provides a nice combination of boards of different sizes and shapes for kids to build things out of their imagination. I am ordering more magnets for him to that he can try out anything he likes, hotels, hospitals, school, etc."
"We discovered these at a local children's museum and my oldest spent quite a bit of time playing with them even after the other kids in his class had left."
"I purchased the magnetic tiles after seeing how all the children in my grandson's pre-K class loved playing with them."
"They don't fit absolutely perfectly with the regular magnatile brand, but they aren't so far off that you still can't build with them (I think the need for perfection is worse for Mommy and Daddy than our 3yr old!"
"They are expensive but children really like them."

"I took a chance on getting this game for my son and his friends to play at his graduation party. It's your standard game of Capture the Flag but it's way cooler playing it at night with glowing orbs! It was fabulous to see a bunch of older kids running around at top speeds, exercising, laughing and cheering at the same time. They would have played longer but it was very hot and humid that night so everyone was tired and sweaty."
"Last year we went to a fun center and spent well over $100 for a small group of kids to play one game of laser tag and a small amount of arcade games."

Reviews
"I just want to warn everyone who is thinking about this product for a small child: it s very cool, great way to learn about magnetism and hexotropic substances (latter for older students, obviously) the way that it is made magnetic is by suspending ferrous particles in the putty. (no detectible magnetic reaction reduction after 3 weeks of 3-4 hours/day being magnetized and demagnetized repeatedly) HOWEVER..."
"I've actually been eyeing the Crazy Aaron's Thinking Putty for years, and the price was great, but the cool chromatic color shift putty sold me. Overall, there are no negatives with this stuff (except the given that hairs can get stuck in it if you aren't careful) and I already want a second tin to keep at home!"
"This putty has a better texture than the colored putties."
"Crazy putty is magnetic and fun to use."
"It took a LONG time to ship."
"this is a lot of putty and certainly is clear and is super cool!"
"So after trying to scratch out the putty with my fingernails, I searched online - with my now smurf-blue stained fingers - for the best way to get this evil concoction out of cloth... Somewhere I read that rubbing alcohol takes it out (I think I read that on some website connected to the product, because it certainly wasn't written by someone actually trying to get this adorably-packaged-biohazard out of cloth). He couldn't have missed the overwhelming smell of alcohol though so, in case he was considering calling child services, I showed him the bottle of rubbing alcohol - which I think he thought I was offering to him because he waved his hand in a "no thank you" motion. My kids liked it anyway because when you press something into it you get an imprint - like, you know, you get with regular silly putty - only for significantly less money. I'm giving it two stars instead of one because I'm sure it has some unexplored scientific benefit, like bonding bulletproof cloth with silk or something."
"Its stiff to work with an a very slow reaction to the magnets unlike the videos we've see which much be deceptively in fast motion."

Reviews
"Her favorite gadgets were the motion detector, which terrorized the dog for a couple of days until we turned it off, and the invisible ink pen. I know your thinking, invisible ink pen, there has to be a million of these, but this pen has a secret compartment that kids paper for on the fly spy notes and a 'UV' light to reveal the secret message you just wrote."
"I know this because my grandson "showed" me by writing all over his arms!!!"
"The belt is skimpy."
"My 8-year-old son loves his spy gear!"
"We gave this set to our grandson and it was a great hit."
"Your little spy will like this with the invisible ink, gizmo to listen in on conversations, things that alarm if you walk in the room."
"Fun stuff for kids especially when you get some of the other spy gear stuff."
"They all worked and none of them seemed to break even though my son plays pretty roughly."

Reviews
"His dad bought him the Space adventure, which also brought a lot of excitment. We have not had the viewer long so I cannot speak to how it will survive a 5 year old...but I can tell you it was wonderful to see him and hear the excitment in his voice as he explored the dinosaurs and space."
"One huge drawback is there's no headphone hole, so content that uses sound to enhance the experience suffers. If I paid $30, i'd probably be disappointed because really I just wanted a google cardboard viewer to look 360VR movies and digital side-by-side stereograms."
"If you like a cheap way to play with the VR, but hate the 'aesthetics' of the ugly google cardboard - get this."
"Publicly available VR movies/apps worked fine for me, although as with most smartphone VR viewers you can't control the content or even change the volume without opening the VR."
"I have enjoyed the VR package that it comes with, but I have also used for the free apps that work with the google cardboard technology. I downloaded other apps and they work perfectly with this device. I have enjoyed many hours of youtube videos, google street views, and others and I have had no problems at all. If the user doesn't have bluetooth headphones, we basically have to turn up the volume from the phone, and hope for the best. It would be a lot easier using the device itself, but you can't because the camera is covered by a translucent plastic."

Reviews
"Out of 10 kids throwing 200 balloons, we had only 2 real "ouches.""
"Just make sure the kids agree, ahead of time, to pick up all 350 popped balloons that land all over your back yard when the fun is over!"
"These are so much fun for the grandkids."
"If you've never bough these, it's worth it just for the pleasure of filling them up."
"The only draw back to this is that you fill up the water balloons so fast that you can go through 100 in no time flat."
"We discovered that you need to fill them at medium speed in order to get the best fill of all the balloons. We tried a slow fill on the first two batches, and only half of them initially filled."
"These are generic balloons, not the brand-name stated by the seller."
"We used a different brand at camp and they worked wonderful."

Reviews
"I bought the three-pack and gave them to nieces and nephews and they really enjoy them and they really are fun to play with."
"They don't do stairs and that's what we wanted them for :( you probably need the longer ones)."
"Slinky was one of those toys, and - recalling how I was mesmerized by my Slinky "walking" down our stairs as a child in the 1960's - I'd really looked forward to introducing my oldest grandson to this classic toy when he was 5 years old (I'd purchased a "Slinky Jr." at the retail level, which was a complete waste of money, and having told my grandson I'd purchase a "REAL" Slinky, like Grandma had when she was his age, I purchased a single pack of this "original" Slinky.). I can only imagine that those rating this Slinky highly as a toy had never experienced the original, or didn't actually try it out themselves prior to giving it as a gift and imagining the joy it would bring to a youngster (as I'd thought it would.). They changed SOMETHING, and this is NOT the "original" Slinky! I'd given up on my TRUE ORIGINAL Slinky search, but I really wanted my grandsons to be able to experience what I had, so I typed "Vintage Slinky" into a Google search, found several and purchased a "used" vintage Slinky from a reputable vendor."
"Dissapointed they didn't work at all and I have an older house with smaller sized stairs in certain parts :(."
"These are either not good quality or my kids are extremely rough."
"They look like the original and mostly act like it, but are either not big enough or not long enough to go down any of the staircases we tried."
"Not like the original at all."
"Pros....it's a slinky. Coms..it will not walk down stairs...seems to be smaller than the original one as I remember...or Maybe the we're a lot smaller."

Reviews
"So I searched a long time for a quality bubble machine for our son... there are a lot of options out there, but I bit on this because for a few dollars more over the cheap plastic machines this thing is a solid performer."
"About 10 seconds into the dance I took out the remote and started the bubbles. After their dance, I opened the floor up to everyone and the bubbles definitely brought them out, especially the kids. About every 5 minutes or so, I'd give it a little hit for a few seconds, just to keep a bubble going around."
"Cool Product."
"The only thing that would make it better would be a built in tilt to shoot the bubbles higher in the air but then some people might not want that."
"Works well, the remote is a huge plus, only issue is tray for bubble liquid seemed to have a small crack and leaked into the main unit and was spilling onto the table."
"I bought this bubble machine for my daughter - she is the super fan of the bubbles,she loves bubbles!"
"It is much more compact than I ecxpected, which is good - saving some storage space!"
