Review: Important part of recovery - Broke my arm and my hip at the same time. The putty helped me get the use of my left hand and arm back. I started with the lightest in the rehab and continued to the heaviest at home. Works really well
Review: Perfect Rock-Climber Desk Toy - I have the Blue/Firm putty, which is perfect for playing with and exercising my hands while listening to conference calls at work. I consider myself an intermediate sport-climber (I climb once or twice a week - mostly 5.10s of various sorts) and while nothing beats time on the wall for general strengthening the theraputty lets me do something during otherwise unproductive down-time (especially on non-climbing days). Hang-boards are awesome but prone to over-work and not nearly as convenient. Playing with the putty is fun (and stress relieving). Actually doing the exercises seems the way to genuinely get strength out of it - there are plenty of these online which can easily be found via google. I find that the Blue/Firm putty feels just a bit tougher than a medium tension (7 lb per finger) Prohands Gripmaster when just squeezing it - though with the diversity of exercises available with the putty (especially hand-expansion exercises which rock climbing and gripmasters don't train) it can be just a touch more strenuous. Basically: if you have a bit of the specialized grip-strength that comes from gymnastics, rock climbing or other grip-related sport/training then I'd say blue is the way to go. If you're comfortable and familiar with exercising with hang-boards etc then I'd probably try the black. If you're just starting on grip-strength training I'd probably go with the green. 6oz of the putty is just a bit less then a tennis ball and is about how much you need to really do a lot of the full-hand exercises for smaller adult hands. Someone with large hands might want 8 oz. The small portions really seem aimed at kids or some of the smaller single-finger exercises. It doesn't stick to anything unless you leave it sitting for a while. Dropping it on the carpet is fine - but if you leave it on fabric, carpet, or something fuzzy for a long duration it may start to try to integrate with it. Basically this is specifically dense/thick neatly-colored silly putty and will behave as such.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Full ingredient list?**
A: The ingredients consist of:
Silicone Polymer
Glycerine
Mineral Oil
Boric Acid
Pigments
Silica and Silicates

**Q: What firmness putty would be suitable for a 6yo with poor motor skills?**
A: Good Morning, My little grandson with autism who is also 6 has low muscle tone and poor hand strength.  I have started with the tan  xx soft but we are ready to move to the next level of resistance.  Better in my opinion to give them something not frustrating at first as they get used to it.  We keep some in the car also.  Just be careful that it does not lay on cloth for long.

**Q: How does it compare to aaron's thinking putty?  which texture/firmness is most similar to the thinking putty?**
A: The green one would match up with the firm from the Thinking Putty and red would match up with the less firm one. The texture of the putty is always going to be different, regardless of the color.

**Q: Does the putty have any soy or soy ingredients?**
A: Theraputty is made by Fabrication Enterprises Incorporated.   Their website has the following (as of Nov. 30 2014):"*Theraputty® material - standard Theraputty® material is made from a silicone polymer and is gluten, latex, nuts, egg and soy free. Also available in antimicrobial, microwaveable, progressive, scented and glitter formulas."

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great fidget.
*by C***H on April 5, 2025*

I use this at work with students (and for myself) as a paraprofessional. I find that the consistency is great for building fine motor skills as well as being a useful fidget to stim with. It doesn’t get stuck in clothes or carpet like playdoh which is awesome!
