A huge thank you to Heather, Brent, Audrey, and Bridger for your generous winning bid on this experience, supporting the amazing work of the The Toy Foundation. This incredible organization brings joy to kids in need, and we’re honored to contribute to their mission. After a behind-the-scenes tour they made their very own one-of-a-kind Thinking Putty®, designing custom labels and packaging. Look out collectors! These are one-of-a-kind!
