Crazy Aaron's Strange Attractor Thinking Putty – Magnetic Sensory Putty with Green Sparkles, Includes Ceramic Magnet, 90g, Never Dries Out
Crazy Aaron's Strange Attractor Thinking Putty is a black, magnetic putty filled with millions of micron-sized magnets and subtle green sparkles. It comes with a super-strong ceramic magnet that lets you manipulate the putty in unique ways. Designed for ages 8 and up, this 1/5 pound (90g) tin never dries out, so you can stretch, bounce, pop, tear, and sculpt it again and again.
What makes the Strange Attractor different from regular putty?
Unlike standard putty, Strange Attractor contains millions of tiny micron-sized magnets suspended throughout the black base. When you bring the included 1x1-inch ceramic magnet close, the putty moves and morphs in response — you can pull it into spikes, make it crawl, or simply watch the magnetic field create patterns. The subtle green sparkles add a visual twist, catching light as you play.
How to use the included ceramic magnet
The ceramic magnet is strong enough to activate the putty's internal magnets from a short distance. Hold it near the putty to see it rise and stretch toward the magnet. You can also press the magnet into the putty to create a magnetic core, then pull it away to stretch the putty into long strands. The magnet can be used to form sculptures or to separate the putty into pieces. After playing, simply squish the putty back together.

Your questions about this magnetic putty answered
Does the putty dry out over time?
No, this putty is designed to never dry out. Even after repeated stretching, popping, and sculpting, it stays soft and pliable. Just store it in the tin when not in use.
What are the green sparkles? Are they magnetic?
The sparkles are non-magnetic decorative flakes added for visual effect. They are not part of the magnetic system — the magnets themselves are micron-sized particles mixed into the putty.
Is this putty safe for young children?
The manufacturer recommends it for ages 8 and up due to small parts (the magnet and the putty itself if swallowed). The putty is not a food product and should be kept away from children under 3. Adult supervision is advised for younger kids within the recommended age range.
Can I see the putty move without touching the magnet directly?
Yes. The ceramic magnet is strong enough to affect the putty through the tin or from a short distance. You can move the magnet around the outside of the tin to make the putty shift and rise — no direct contact needed.
