3. Thinking Putty

This putty is so super cool! This heat-sensitive, color-changing putty acts like both a liquid and solid. Wow! This stuff can bounce like a ball, feels slimy and also tough. The color also is heat sensitive so your will notice the change in color from violet to as it heats up from the body heat of your hand. Not only is this a fun toy, it's also very therapeutic for adults and kids alike!

This was both of my daughters' first pick for this article. This cool project created a colorful tree out of crystals. In just 20 minutes kid can see crystals forming on a 3.5 foot tall tree.
