PUTTY PEOPLE! I love creating new ways to use items. Putty (or theraputty) is a staple for OTs with different densities allowing for resistance tin building fine motor skills and strength in fingers. Here I’m stretching the putty onto a plastic lid (the lid has contact paper on it) and creating putty people! Your child could use their whole hand or individual fingers, pushing out the putty. Create facial features with your index finger. Fun funny faces! #yourkidsot #occupationaltherapy #therapyi

FROM THE ARCHIVES: PUTTY FINGER ACTIVITIES! Use putty to build fine motor skills… finger and thumb strength, individual finger movements, palmar arches, separation of the two sides of the hand and wrist extension! You can change the density of the putty for a harder workout for the fingers. This demonstration uses quite a soft putty. You can also use playdough! #handstrength #handstrengthening #putty #puttyexercise #sensoryinput #sensory #proprioception #dexterity #manualdexterity #play #finemot
