Silly Putty® was discovered in 1943 by James Wright who mixed boric acid and silicone oil together. It was introduced to the public in 1950 by Peter Hodgson. Crayola® acquired the exclusive manufacturing rights to Silly Putty in 1977. Although the exact formulas Crayola uses to make Silly Putty are proprietary, we can share it is made primarily from silicone and color pigments.

It is difficult to provide an exact shelf life for Crayola products because it depends on how and where they have been stored.  Our products are generally tested on the basis of how they are used, rather than how long they have remained unused.  We stand behind the Crayola brand name and will work to take care of any quality issue you may encounter.

If you have additional questions, we would love to hear from you! Feel free to call or text us at 1-800-272-9652 weekdays between 9 AM and 4 PM Eastern Time. If you would prefer to send us an email, visit our contact us page.
