Putty

Therapeutic and Sensory Putty for the Classroom

Putty is one of the most versatile and effective sensory tools available for primary and early years classrooms. Whether used for fine motor development, sensory regulation, stress relief, or occupational therapy exercises, our Putty collection offers a range of options to suit every child's needs and every classroom setting.

Why Putty Works So Well in Schools

• Builds fine motor strength – Squeezing, stretching, and manipulating putty strengthens the small muscles in children’s hands and fingers, supporting handwriting, cutting, and other fine motor tasks.
• Supports sensory regulation – The tactile input from putty helps children who are over- or under-stimulated to find a calm, focused state — ideal before lessons or during transitions.
• Reduces stress and anxiety – Fidgeting with putty gives restless hands something productive to do, helping children concentrate and manage anxiety in a discreet, non-disruptive way.
• Suitable for all learners – From mainstream classrooms to SEN and occupational therapy settings, putty is a simple, effective tool that benefits a wide range of children.

Ideal For

• Fine motor development and handwriting readiness
