Therapy Putty!

Therapy Putty is a super fun hand and a finger exercise ( can be used for sensory as well) that is used in OT! There are various exercises that therapy putty can be used for (Youtube has videos if you want to see some demonstrations).

There are multiple levels of therapy putty and the artist used to be on the red color (shown in the comic but now is on blue! (Red is the color below blue). Each color gets darker as it gets harder to manipulate with your hands making the hands stronger. These exercises are really fun to do and are more like playing around than exercising which makes it easier to keep up. The goal of the exercise above is to get the beads out of the putty which can be harder than you think as it engages fine motor skills and hand strength. This is an exercise the artist has done numerous times but actually really likes because it's kind of fun to do.
