Original Silly Putty

First created in 1950, Silly Putty is the go-to standard for playful, quirky putty fun. This unique substance is able to stretch without breaking and bounce high like a ball. Packaged in its iconic red plastic eggshell case, each pink-colored Silly Putty is a fun fidget toy. Made of a silicone polymer and containing a viscoelastic liquid silicone, this putty acts as a non-Newtonian fluid, acting like a viscous liquid over a long period of time and an elastic solid for a short period. It's the perfect toy for bouncing, stretching, floating, molding into shapes, picking up pencil marks, resisting some pressures and flattening with others. And with its soft, malleable texture, it's always a delight to play with.
