How to Make Thinking Putty Soft
Thinking putty, also known as brain putty, is a popular stress-relieving toy that provides a unique sensory experience. However, some users may find the putty too hard and less enjoyable to play with. In this article, we will discuss how to make thinking putty soft, so you can enjoy its squishy texture to the fullest.
Materials Needed:
Before you start, gather the following materials:
1. Warm water
2. A microwave-safe bowl
3. A spoon or a stirrer
4. Your hard thinking putty
Step-by-Step Guide:
1. Cut a Small Piece of Putty: Begin by cutting a small piece of your hard thinking putty. This will be the amount you want to soften.
2. Add Water: Place the small piece of putty in a microwave-safe bowl. Add a few drops of warm water to the bowl. The amount of water depends on the size of the putty piece. Start with a small amount and adjust as needed.
3. Microwave: Microwave the bowl with the putty and water for about 10-15 seconds. The time may vary depending on your microwave’s power. Keep an eye on the putty to avoid overheating.
4. Stir the Mixture: After microwaving, remove the bowl from the microwave and stir the mixture with a spoon or a stirrer. This helps to distribute the heat evenly and ensure the putty softens properly.
5. Repeat if Necessary: If the putty is still too hard, repeat the microwaving and stirring process. Add a little more water if needed. Be cautious not to overheat the putty, as it may become too soft and lose its shape.
6. Test the Texture: Once the putty has reached your desired softness, take a small piece and test its texture. If it’s too soft, you can add a little more water and microwave it again. If it’s too hard, microwave it for a shorter duration or add less water.
7. Enjoy Your Soft Putty: Now that your thinking putty is soft, you can enjoy its squishy texture and use it for various purposes, such as stress relief, mindfulness, or simply as a fun toy.
Remember that the process may require some trial and error, as different types of putty may react differently to heat and water. With patience and practice, you’ll find the perfect combination for your soft thinking putty.
