Colour Changing Thinking Putty
Globule hypercolour
Warm bits change colour!
Thinking Putty is completely unique and now, thanks to Firebox, you can own a tin packed with around 90g of the stuff, ready to put to work for whatever cause you see fit.
Remember: there's very little that can't be achieved with a tin of Thinking Putty and the bare minimum of effort:
- It bounces...
- It stretches and squishes...
- It lifts print from newspapers...
- It snaps, crackles and pops...
- It shears and tears...
- It melts and drips...
- It even shatters!
3" and 4" Tins available
Colours available:

...Once you pick Thinking Putty up, you won't put it down.
How does it do that?!
Thinking Putty is a dilatant compound, (which means it becomes solid under the influence of pressure), and it displays four different properties on four different time scales:
- At very long timescales, it behaves like a liquid spreading out onto a flat surface.
- At moderate timescales, Thinking Putty stretches like a plastic solid.
- At short timescales, it bounces like an elastic solid.
- At very short timescales (the impact of a high-speed projectile), Thinking Putty simply shatters.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: What am I supposed to do with Thinking Putty?
A: There are so many potential uses we couldn't possibly list them all, but here is a suggestion to start with: Bring your new Thinking Putty to work and leave it on your desk. You'll find yourself tearing off a handful and using it to relieve stress while your brain ponders infinite creative possibilities. Soon after, you'll find your own unconscious energies breaking through - creativity you didn't even know you had.
Sculptures and Dali-esque designs will flow from your own hands and work may even be transformed into... fun.
Q: If I bring the Thinking Putty to work, will people think that I am incredibly cool?
A: Yes, they will. We (almost) guarantee it. Your coworkers will most likely try to steal some Thinking Putty off your desk. Thinking Putty in the hands of others creates uncontrollable and insane jealousy. Perhaps they will try to befriend you and weasel their own adult-size handful of putty from your personal supply.
Q: Then what happens?
A: Eventually you will probably want to order more Thinking Putty to feed the habits of yourself and your co-workers. (This is Firebox.com's plan for world domination). Shortly afterwards, you will become a self-proclaimed monarch of a new Thinking Putty fiefdom. Your office will begin to look like a Dali workshop with Thinking Putty dripping from the ceilings. The unleashed and unbridaled creative force of your workplace will make you all unstoppable.
Q: Is that true?
A: Well, you'll develop stronger hands at least. The rest is up to you and your imagination. Buy some Thinking Putty and see for yourself!
- 3" Thinking Putty ships in tins of around 45g (1.6 ounces), is made in the USA and is non-toxic.

Hi firebox! Will you stock the other two colours any time soon? I would buy sunburst for sure if it was there!Bashie0101, UK - 27th January 2012
Firebox says: Hi, we have not plans for the other colours right now but keep an eye on this space!
What is the size of the tin in the picture...3 or 4? because I've got a tin of black science putty which is 40g and I'm wanting more putty in a tin for more fun and squidging :).Ben, London - 11th October 2011
Firebox says: Hi Ben, the three inch tin is 45g and the 4 inch holds around 90g.
How much putty does the 3 tin contain and how much does the 4 tin contain could you compare the amount to something.Crazy Aron, Birmingham - 30th June 2011
Firebox says: The 3" Thinking Putty ships in tins of around 45g (1.6 ounces), while the 4" Thinking Putty ships in tins of around 90g (3.2 ounces).
Hi, I'm thinking of buying this product but I have one simple question how much does the 3 one cost and how much does the 4 one cost and could you compare it to something.
P. S if your lucky I'll buy two containers. :).Ann, Birmingham - 14th June 2011
Firebox says: Price wise Ann, it's 3"= £8.99, 4"=£10.99, as for comparisons, it's pretty unique but maybe Silly Putty from back in the day?
I am soo close to buying this, it looks great. But I have one question: when you tear it apart and then stick it together again, does it begin to wear, and eventually fall apart?David, N.Ireland UK - 5th May 2011
I have a question that I have been wondering for a while, Firebox. But I've seen the original Thinking Putty website (Crazy Aaron's Puttyworld.com) that offers a wider range of colours that you have, but the problem is it's in the USA and I'm currently in the UK, so why don't you sell all the colours like Puttyworld.com sell?Sam Leece, England - 15th March 2011
Firebox says: Hi Sam, because unfortunately we don't stock the whole range, we basically check with our friends in the US to choose the colours/combinations that we think will be most popular.
How much is the Strange Attractor putty?Oliver Hurst, London - 14th March 2011
Firebox says: Hi Oliver, you can find the prices here...

I want to get the colour changing tin but don't know what colour to choose "Help"
:D !Georgia, Earth - 14th February 2011
Firebox says: eeenie, meeenie, miiineie, mo.
Some of the reviews say that theres only a little bit. I want to buy it but I'm not sure if I want to buy this if theres only a little bit.Anabell, Birmingham - 6th February 2011
Firebox says: Hi Anabell. There should be plenty in the tin. If you want more putty we suggest you go for the 4" version which has a bit more putty!
I bought my boyfriend some of the Sunburst colour changing one. It was doing the normal changing from orange to yellow. But now it has changed completely its now a disgusting mustard colour and turns green when heated up. What's the reason for this?Angie Price, Leamington Spa - 4th January 2011
Firebox says: We're not sure what the reason is, but it doesn't sound normal. If you drop us an e-mail to info@firebox.com we'll see what we can do about it for you.
