Brain Food--Another Great Stocking Stuffer or Teacher Gift



Remember Silly Putty? Remember how much fun it was to mush it up in your hands and then stretch it until it was so thin it broke.

Well... the fun people at Fat Brain Toys, have taken Silly Putty to a whole new level. It is so absolutely cool.

From their Website:

The most tantalizing, mesmerizing mass of gelatinous dough you'll ever see or pleasure in handling.

Our Brains are Healthy. The Putty is Responsible."Putty for your hands...A playground for your mind. Engaging the imagination & refreshing the mind, Brain Food is an impressive dose of high quality moldable putty. It is a valuable tool for people of all ages:

Soothing kneading of elastic, vibrant putty "stretches” the imagination, promotes free flow of ideas, and provides relaxation. Ideal for networking your right & left brain.

Brain Food channels fidget energy so you can focus mentally.

Ask students or employees to shape Brain Food and you’ve got a powerful, tangible illustration of their endless creative potential for creating something uniquely different from everyone else!
Use Brain Food as the catalyst for learning.

Eight fascinating versions of thinking putty!

At Fat Brain Toys- our brains aren't fat for nothing!

  • Herculean dose of super-smooth, pliable putty
  • Ideal for stimulating thought & play
  • 8 Unique, Dynamic Versions
  • Remains a non-sticky, taffy-like consistency even when it is left out of the canister for 2 months. Verified. Does not harden to hold its shape permanently.
  • Stores Conveniently in Certified Fat Brain Toy Co. Tin

Now from me: How FUN! Each color does something else. The Gold has gold nuggets in it. The Green glows in the dark. The Purple changes color with the heat of your hand. You'll have to look at what each one does.

Brain Food costs $15.00 which might be a little high for a stocking stuffer--but remember it. It will make a great birthday gift for your child's friend sometime this year. For the stocking stuffer, you can always go out and buy Silly Putty. It is only $1.50 and you can buy it anywhere.

Brain Food is available in some retail stores, at Fat Brain's on-line store, and of course, in the Let Kids Play! store.

For the next couple of days, I will continue with stocking stuffers, travel games, and activities to do during the break. Then I am going to take a break. When I come back in January, I want you to have thought of what you want from this blog in the future. I can write what I like, but if it isn't what you want to read, there really isn't any point.

Have a nice weekend. I hope people can enjoy it and aren't too stressed. For those of you with snow--just forget everything else and go out and have a snow ball fight with your kids! More tomorrow!
