Doesn't even work
totally disappointed in this. my son used his gift card money and was so excited to get this magnetic putty and tried to do the things like it showed on the cover picture. the putty is way too stiff and the magnet is way too weak to even remotely come close to doing what it shows on the front cover. I'm going to try and return this because it literally doesn't do what it's supposed to do.

The putty is too hard and the magnet too weak
I bought this for a gift thinking the idea was cool but the putty is way to stiff and the magnet is weaker than a fridge magnet. even pulling the putty thin like they suggest the magnet was not strong enough to move it. I happened to have a very powerful magnit i already had at home and even with that the putty doesn't move.

Stains everything
Within minutes of opening it it had stained my couch, daughters clothing, and a throw blanket. I’ve tried several products, and put the blanket in the wash and it does not washout! My very expensive sofa is ruined!

IT WILL STICK & STAIN EVERYTHING
My son loves to play with it, but it sticks to and stains walls, clothing, and carpet! I does NOT wash out of clothes either. Now, I have him cleaning the wall he placed putty on.

Disappointed
Not as pictured or described. The picture and details about this item say it comes with a tin container. I got a cheap plastic container to store the putty in. In all honesty I bought this one mainly for the storage tin. Pretty disappointed.

Dont waste your $
I bought this for my sons birthday. The putty was too hard to even pull with the magnet so we returned and bought a new one thinking maybe it was a bad batch. New one was the same. Barely works with the hard putty. Returned that one as well.

Meh.. not too impressed
Was expecting this to be more interesting than what it actually is. The magnet it comes with is barely strong enough to stick to the putty, let alone pulls it like the picture on the box.

Magnetic But Smells Terribly
My Daughter Really Wanted This. It Was Fine At First, But Started To Smell Really Bad After 3-4 Days And Had To Throw It Away.
