Flies Farther Than A Football

Of all the toys available, none is better designed than the owner himself. A large multipurpose plaything, its parts can be made to move in almost any direction. It comes completely assembled, and it makes a sound when you jump on it.
—Stephen Baker

The Toy With One Moving Part

In any field, find the strangest thing and then explore it.
—John Wheeler


Sillyputty_3SILLY PUTTY® WAS ACCIDENTALLY INVENTED during World War II by a scientist attempting to create synthetic rubber. Since then over 300 million plastic eggs filled with this magical substance have been sold. Recently inducted into the National Toy Hall of Fame, Silly Putty now comes in 12 additional colors besides the original pink, and continues to delight new generations of the young at heart.

Be sure to take a tour of the online Silly Putty University Campus (The Home of Higher Silly Putty Learning). You'll quickly discover more than you thought you ever wanted to know about its history, science & manufacture, including:

  • the winners of the "Top 50 Silliest Uses for Silly Putty" Contest
  • information about ordering a 5-pound block of the stuff, and
  • how to earn your very own Master of Silly Putty degree.
