Squeeze it, stretch it, roll it, pinch it and pull it! Therapy Putty is a wonderfully versatile hands-on tool for building hand and finger strength, supporting fine motor skills and providing satisfying tactile sensory input.
Each 57 g tub has a smooth, velvety texture that is designed to feel comfortable in the hands without being greasy or sticky. It can be used for simple hand exercises, fine motor activities, sensory play or as a quiet fidget during seated tasks, making it a handy addition to homes, classrooms, sensory kits and therapy spaces.
Therapy Putty is available in five colour-coded resistance levels, allowing you to choose the amount of resistance that best suits the user. Start with a softer putty for gentler squeezing and manipulation, or choose a firmer resistance when more effort is wanted. The different levels also make it easy to gradually increase resistance over time when recommended as part of a hand-strengthening program.
For kids who enjoy keeping their hands busy, the repetitive actions of squeezing, stretching and manipulating putty can also provide a quiet and tactile sensory activity without lots of noise or visual distraction. It’s suitable for children and adults and can be used in many different ways depending on individual preferences and goals.

Please note
Resistance preferences vary greatly from person to person. A firmer putty is not necessarily “better” – the most suitable option is the resistance that feels comfortable and appropriate for the activity being completed.
Store the putty in its container when not in use to help keep it clean and maintain its texture. Putty may pick up dust, fibres and other debris from surfaces, so we recommend using it with clean, dry hands on a clean surface.
