Therapy Putty is a multifunctional hand exercise and sensory integration auxiliary product. It is soft and elastic, mainly made of non-toxic and odorless rubber. It is safe and reliable, and suitable for people of all ages. It is an excellent sensory training and hand skill development tool for children.
Therapy putty usually has a variety of colors, each color corresponds to a different resistance level, such as super soft, soft, medium, hard, etc., which can meet the needs and ability stages of different users.
Sensory integration regulation: By kneading, squeezing, and stretching Therapy Putty, children can better perceive the strength, movement, and spatial position of their hands, helping them to regulate their tactile system, improve their sensitivity to stimulation, and thus promote the development of sensory integration ability.
Improvement of fine hand movements: When children operate Therapy Putty, they need to perform a series of fine movements such as grasping, pinching, rubbing, kneading, and pressing. These movements can effectively exercise the flexibility and coordination of fingers and the strength of small muscle groups in the hands.
Stimulation of creativity and imagination: Therapy Putty is highly plastic, such as animals, plants, buildings, etc. In this production process, children’s creativity is fully utilized and their imagination is expanded.
Attention training: Playing with rehabilitation soft clay requires children to concentrate and focus on the operation in their hands. For children whose attention is easily distracted, this can help them gradually extend their concentration time and improve their concentration.
Multiple resistance levels: With different hardness levels of Therapy Putty, you can choose the appropriate resistance according to the child’s age, hand strength, and development stage to achieve personalized and gradual training.
Safe and environmentally friendly material: Made of non-toxic and odorless rubber, it does not contain harmful substances and will not cause any harm to children’s health. At the same time, this material has good durability, is not easy to crack or deform, can withstand children’s repeated kneading and operation, and can be used for a long time.
Rich and diverse colors: Rich colors can not only attract children’s attention and stimulate their interest, but also stimulate visual development to a certain extent. Moreover, Therapy Putty of different colors can also be mixed and matched to create more novel colors, providing more possibilities for children’s creativity.
Material: rubber.
Packaging: 4 or 6 boxes in a set

Therapy putty exercises involve using putty to improve hand strength, dexterity, and fine – motor skills. Here’s a more detailed look:
1. Hand Strengthening Exercises
Squeezing: One of the most basic exercises is squeezing the therapy putty. This can be done in different ways. For example, a person can make a fist around the putty, squeeze it as hard as they can for a few seconds, and then release it. This helps to build the strength of the muscles in the hand and forearm. It benefits individuals recovering from hand injuries, such as fractures or tendon repairs, and those with conditions like arthritis that may cause hand weakness.
Pinching: Another exercise involves pinching the putty between the thumb and fingers. You can start with a small amount of putty and try to pinch it into different shapes. This targets the small muscles in the hand that are responsible for precision movements. It’s useful for improving grip strength and is often used in occupational therapy for patients who need to regain hand function after a stroke or nerve damage.
2. Dexterity and Fine – Motor Skill Exercises
Rolling and Shaping: Rolling the putty into a ball, snake, or other shapes helps to improve hand dexterity. For example, you can roll the putty into a long, thin snake and then coil it to form a spiral. This requires coordinated movements of the fingers and palm and is beneficial for writing, buttoning clothes, or using utensils.
Finger Isolation Exercises: It is also important to use putty to isolate finger movements. For instance, you can press a small piece of putty with just one finger at a time, such as the index finger, while keeping the other fingers still. This helps to improve the independent movement of each finger, which is crucial for tasks like typing or playing a musical instrument.
Stretching and Tearing: Stretching the putty apart or tearing it into smaller pieces can also enhance fine – motor skills. This requires strength and control, as you must apply just the right amount of force to stretch or tear the putty without using too much or too little. It’s useful for activities that involve manipulating objects of different consistencies.
Therapy putty can dry out over time, but it depends on several factors.
1. Type of putty and ingredients
Some therapy putties are made with a higher oil content. These tend to have a longer shelf life and are less likely to dry out quickly. For example, silicone-based putties usually retain their moisture better than water-based ones. The silicone provides a barrier that slows down the evaporation of any moisture present in the putty.
However, putties that are more clay-like or have a significant amount of water-soluble components are more prone to drying. If the putty is made from natural clays and has few added preservatives, it can dry out and become hard relatively quickly.
2. Storage conditions
Temperature plays a crucial role. If therapy putty is stored in a very warm environment, the rate of evaporation of its moisture content will increase. For instance, it may dry out faster if it’s left near a heater or in a hot car.
Another factor is exposure to air. If the putty is left out of its container with a large surface area exposed to the air, it will dry more rapidly. To minimize air contact, it’s best to store it in an airtight container.
Humidity also matters. In a dry climate with low humidity, the putty will likely lose its moisture and dry out. Conversely, in a more humid environment, it may retain its pliability for longer.
