Wonder Putty

The SpeechGears Wonder Putty is a versatile, high-quality therapeutic material designed to strengthen hand muscles, improve fine motor skills, and support sensory-motor development across ages. Whether used in clinical rehabilitation, occupational therapy, speech therapy, or home-based practice, this putty helps users perform a range of exercises including squeezing, stretching, pinching, and rolling to target hand strength, coordination, and tactile regulation. 

Key Benefits

• Strengthens Hand & Finger Muscles: Essential for recovering grip strength and performing daily tasks like buttoning shirts or using utensils.
• Enhances Fine Motor Skills: Ideal for children developing the "pincer grasp" and other foundational movements required for writing and drawing.
• Physiotherapy & Rehabilitation: A trusted tool for palm and finger rehabilitation following a stroke, surgery, or injury.
• Sensory Regulation: Provides excellent tactile feedback for sensory integration programs, helping to decrease stress and increase focus.
• Progressive Resistance: Different colors allow for a customized exercise program, moving from extra-soft to firm resistance as strength improves.

• Bleed-Proof & Non-Toxic: Safe for skin contact and designed not to leave a messy residue on hands or surfaces.
• Compact & Portable: Comes in a secure container (7.5 cm × 7.5 cm × 4.5 cm), making it easy to carry for therapy sessions or travel.
• Color-Coded Resistance: Available in Yellow, Red, Green, and Blue, or as a Combined 4-Pack for a complete progressive training regime.
• Multi-Functional: Supports a wide range of exercises including flexion, extension, press, pinch, and adduction.
  

How to Use

• Preparation: Always clean and dry your hands thoroughly before use. Moisture can affect the putty’s quality over time.
• The Pinch: Squeeze the putty between your thumb and individual fingers to build isolated finger strength.
• The Press: Place the putty in your palm and squeeze your fingers toward the center to improve overall grip.
• The Pull: Use both hands to stretch and pull the putty apart to work on bilateral coordination.
• Storage: Always return the putty to its container and seal the lid tightly to keep it free from dust and debris.
  

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Which color should I start with?
A: Beginners or children with lower muscle tone typically start with Yellow (Extra-Soft). As strength increases, you can progress through Red (Soft), Green (Medium), and Blue (Firm).

Q: Is Wonder Putty safe for children?
A: Yes, it is safe for children aged 3 and above. However, it should always be used under adult supervision and is not for mouthing or eating.

Q: Can it be used for stress relief?
A: Absolutely. Many adults find the repetitive squeezing and pulling of the putty to be an effective "fidget" tool for reducing anxiety and improving concentration.

Q: How do I remove it from fabric or hair?
A: If the putty gets stuck on fabric, use a bit of rubbing alcohol or a specialized adhesive remover. Always try to use the putty on clean, hard surfaces to avoid sticking to porous materials.
