Always Supervise Silly Putty Play Time

This is what happened to my heavy winter coat last year. I think Mr. Jack Blanton decided my coat hood would look nice with some pink in it. All girls love pink right? This little incident occured when Jack was two. Now that he is three I doubt anything like this would happen. Lets hope not.

I have tried to get this silly putty out, but nothing has worked. I tried krud kutter and I even cut a little of the silly putty out. If anyone has had a similar experience and knows how to get silly putty out let me know. I have actually worn the coat a few times with the silly putty in it. I don't think anyone noticed.

Why I think silly putty is a Great Toy:
1. It keeps the kids entertained for long periods of time. Will and Ben used to love to wrap it all around their power rangers. It comes off plastic easily.
2. It works those fine motor skills.
3. You can roll it in a ball and it will bounce.
4. If you place it on top of the funny papers the paper print will be on your silly putty.

Why I have not bought silly putty in forever:
1. The jacket incident
2. Even if you only let them play with it in the kitchen, sometimes it still gets to the carpet. I think it gets on the bottom of their shoes.

The next time my kids are given silly putty I will let them play with it. It is such a fun toy! But I will set a few rules and take a look if things get too quiet.
