Made in the U.S.A.

A customer whose daughter is studying in Thailand for a year told me she had wanted to send over something made here in the good old USA. What did she choose? Silly Putty. She said it was a huge success - with an art professor who had never seen it before. Her story made us remember just how cool silly putty is - the snapping, the bouncing, and most of all, the fun of pressing it into a newsprint image to make a copy, which can then be morphed the good old fashioned way - by pulling and stretching. Our customers tend to assume that everything inexpensive that we sell is made in China. Not silly putty. And by the way, not the original Slinky either. And another fun toy that we sell- boinks - are also made here - I just verified it with a phone call to the company in Indiana!
