It can be used in a variety of ways to improve and develop your child’s hand strength, which will facilitate fluid fine motor, handwriting and daily living skills. Each colour relates to a specific strength and an Occupational Therapist will give guidance on which strength\/colour your child will need to work with. We want to encourage squashing, poking, rolling, squeezing and pinching for the whole hand and individual fingers.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin: 0px 0px 12px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 12px; vertical-align: baseline; line-height: 18px; color: #333333; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; background-image: initial; background-color: #ffffff; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 10pt; vertical-align: baseline; font-family: verdana, geneva; color: #000000; background: transparent;\"\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 13.3333px; vertical-align: baseline; background: transparent;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 13.3333px; vertical-align: baseline; text-decoration: underline; background: transparent;\"\u003eAdditional Information\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin: 0px 0px 12px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 12px; vertical-align: baseline; line-height: 18px; color: #333333; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; background-image: initial; background-color: #ffffff; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 10pt; vertical-align: baseline; font-family: verdana, geneva; color: #000000; background: transparent;\"\u003eThe following are just some ideas of ways to make using Thera-Putty fun and motivating.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 14px; vertical-align: baseline; list-style: none; color: #2f2f2f; font-family: 'Open Sans'; line-height: 22.4px; background-image: initial; background-color: #ffffff; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin: 8px 0px 8px 10px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 24px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 10pt; vertical-align: baseline; font-family: verdana, geneva; color: #000000; background: transparent;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 13.3333px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #2f2f2f; font-family: 'Open Sans'; background: transparent;\"\u003e1. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 10pt; vertical-align: baseline; font-family: verdana, geneva; color: #000000; background: transparent;\"\u003eHide marbles or buttons in the putty, and have your child go on a treasure hunt to find the items.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin: 8px 0px 8px 10px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 24px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 10pt; vertical-align: baseline; font-family: verdana, geneva; color: #000000; background: transparent;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 13.3333px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #2f2f2f; font-family: 'Open Sans'; background: transparent;\"\u003e2. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 10pt; vertical-align: baseline; font-family: verdana, geneva; color: #000000; background: transparent;\"\u003e Hide game pieces in putty, for example pegs from Battleships, play pieces from Frustration or Connect 4.
