Theraputty is a great sensory activity that we like to use in OT sessions!
It is so versatile and can be used for:
• Sensory regulation (provides tactile input, helps with sensory processing and can help as a ‘brain break’ with focus and attention!)
• Improving motor skills (hand strength and finger coordination, warm up before handwriting tasks, work on bilateral coordination)
• Encouraging creativity and play
⭐ Examples of Theraputty Activities
• Hide small beads or buttons/toys and let the child find them
• Finger pinches (thumb-to-finger strengthening)
• Rolling into “snakes” and cutting with kid-safe scissors
• Press-and-flatten exercises
• Two-hand stretching
• Make shapes or letters for play-based learning
