The putty is made up of millions of [micro-sized magnets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magnetic-building-set) that are embedded into the putty itself. This fun aspect of the Strange Attractor Magnetic Putty comes in the form of an iron boron cube. This interacts with the silly putty's components and activates its magnetic properties. I loved silly putty as a child, so granted, this [magnetic putty](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shearing-magnetic-absorption) would make my life that much more entertaining. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.0/10 - Popularity: 39% | Activity: 13% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Life-Stages](https://www.trendhunter.com/life-stages) > [Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/toys) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Magnetic Toys:** Innovative new toys that incorporate magnets to create unique play experiences. - **Sensory Play:** Developing toys that appeal to a child's senses, such as touch, sight, and sound. - **Smart Putty:** Advancements in putty technology that make it more malleable or interactive. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Toy Industry:** Innovators should focus on creating unique sensory experiences through magnetic toys. - **Materials Industry:** Exploring the potential of magnetic substances can lead to new applications in various industries. - **Educational Industry:** Smart Putty could be used to teach students about magnetism and other scientific concepts. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Retro Cartoon-Inspired Putties](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/strawberry-shortcake-scentsory-putty.md) - [Digital Magnetic Toy Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tenki-spliced-magnetic-attraction-toy.md) - [Magnetic Toy-Like Writing Utensils](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magnetdabbles.md) - [Magnetic Wooden Sculpture Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magnetic-sculpture.md) - [Therapeutic Fidget Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/speks-magnet-balls.md) - [Magnetic Reusable Water Balloons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reusable-water-balloons.md) - [Magnetic Building Tiles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magna-tiles.md) - [Magnetic Building Blocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magnecraft.md) - [Magnetic 3D Building Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magnetic-building-kit.md)
