A mess-free foam dough that never dries out and does not stick to carpet or clothes, a strong alternative to slime for preschoolers. The beady texture is different from smooth clay or putty.

A bulk mix of Silly Putty eggs in several finishes, made for goodie bags, treasure boxes and classrooms. Putty amount per egg is not listed.

A color-shifting metallic putty that stretches, bounces and pops, a quiet desk fidget for kids and adults. It is not a slime and does not dry out, but it can collect lint.

Popular PickA crystal-clear putty that clouds as you play and clears again when left alone, a calming desk fidget for kids and adults. Any dust or lint shows up instantly in the clear putty.

A scented, non drying putty with a Strawberry Shortcake theme for fidgeting and hand strength. Putty amount and scent details are not spelled out.

Mystery pods of non-stick Playfoam with a collectible animal inside, a hit with preschoolers who love surprises. Duplicates happen, so finishing the set takes extra packs.


A reusable putty snowman that slowly slumps into a puddle, then gets rebuilt, a fun stocking stuffer for kids who like goofy holiday toys. The putty melts on its own, so it is not a display piece.

An extra large tin of neon Silly Putty for stretching, bouncing and fidgeting. Keep it off fabric and carpet, since care tips are not listed.


A goofy food themed Thinking Putty kit where you mix the cheesy color and noodles yourself. Weight and size are not listed.


A color-shifting putty that changes with hand heat, satisfying for fidgeting kids and adults alike. It can stick to fabric and hair, so play away from carpets and clothes.


A fun fidget for a desk or classroom that rewards experimenting with heat, sun and darkness. Keep it away from fabric and carpet, since care tips are not listed.

A make-it-yourself Thinking Putty kit that turns clear putty into a fruity purple fidget with clay fruit texture. The amount of putty is small.




A magnetic Thinking Putty in the Tidal Wave color for fidgeters and curious kids who like watching putty react to a magnet. The listing does not say a magnet is included, and its age guidance is unclear.

Crayola Silly Putty XL Super BrightThese 10 slime & putty toys have the highest ProductDome scores among the established products in this category, meaning ones with a large volume of owner ratings and strong evidence; on a tie, the product with more rating evidence ranks first. The score combines owner satisfaction, rating volume, demand and data quality from public Amazon listings (updated 5 days ago). We do not test products ourselves.

A listing appears only when it has a recorded price, a minimum customer rating, and enough ratings or monthly sales. Generic and unbranded listings are left out, while every real brand stays, including brands sold only on Amazon. The ones that pass are ordered by the ProductDome score, which weighs owner satisfaction, rating volume, demand and data quality.
Slime and putty toys are stretchy, squishy compounds for sensory play and fidgeting, and on this page they range from thinking putty in tins to ready made slime in jars and kits to make slime at home. The first decision is the type of play, because thinking putty is clean, durable and good for fidgeting at a desk, while slime is wetter, stretchier and better for messy play.
Age and supervision are the next questions. Check the age rating on every product, since small parts, charms and some ingredients are not suitable for young children, and slime should never be eaten. Make your own kits involve activators that need adult supervision. Among the 11 products that list item weight, most fall between 0.1 and 0.7 pounds, and 0.2 pounds is typical.
Mess matters. Slime sticks to carpets, hair and fabric, so play on a washable surface. Putty in a tin, with a lid, is cleaner, and colour changing or magnetic putties add novelty.
Storage comes next. Keep slime and putty in their sealed containers between uses, since they dry out or collect dirt when left open.
Before buying, check the age rating, the ingredients for allergens, the container, and whether it is ready made or a kit. Wash hands after play, and remove slime from fabric with vinegar or ice as the maker suggests.
