What buyers wrote about this set

Grade schooler gift for a Holiday gift exchange. The recipient was excited to have it.

Yup — 5 out of 5 stars

Although the set is fun to experiment with, you get virtually no putty overall. Possibly as much (total) as ¾ of a regular container I would guess. Regardless, it’s not enough to play with after you’re finished experimenting. Also, there is a neon yellow color added that is just ghastly. In both sets I’ve bought for kids, they each didn’t use that color at all and said what a waste to have added. A more moderate color would have been much more desirable and would have mixed much better. Also, unsure if it was just our sets, but anytime the tiny amount of glow in the dark was added to a color, it stoped becoming glowy. So some was wasted trying to make colors glow :(
