Putty in your hands feels pretty good

Rolling some Play-Doh, bouncing a ball of Silly Putty, squishing a half pound of soft modeling clay, or stretching a tin of Thinking Putty--these are the activities of preschoolers and kindergarteners, right?

Ah...no. Adults can enjoys this stuff, too.

It's therapeutic and cathartic, yet invigorating and energizing. And addictive.

I own this particular color of Crazy Aaron's Thinking Putty. Check out the other colors that are available. "Oil Slick" is a favorite of mine. When I open a tin, I tend to forget all my troubles as I lose myself in stretching, folding, rolling, squishing, popping, twirling, and kneading the putty. No wonder we loved it as kids.

Get some. Spend a few minutes each day with it, especially when you are doing a passive activity like reading or watching television. I bet it helps prevent arthritis and carpal tunnel, too. But I'm just guessing.
