The development of gross motor skills for your toddlers is very important! Providing your kid’s playsets with chunky pieces that they easily can grasp and play with will help their muscles develop.
Besides providing your children playsets, giant toy blocks and a variety of other wooden kids toys, Theraputty is another great idea to give your children. Theraputty is a strong silly-putty-like material that comes in a tub. It comes in various “strengths” so there is more or less resistance when squeezed.
Working on a variety of hand skills, it is easy to play with anytime and anywhere – it’s fun and kids love it. Here is a website where you can purchase some Cando Theraputty. http://www.allegromedical.com/exercise-fitness-c523/cando-theraputty-p555170.html
Each Cando Theraputty is color-coded and has a different consistency ranging from XX-Soft for strengthening the weakest grasp to X-Firm for developing a stronger grip. Available in convenient easy-open plastic containers. Store you putty in this container when play is done and seal the lid tightly so it does not dry out.
You might want to try a couple of different strengths when you first buy this product. It is good for kids, teens, adults and seniors. It’s just good, fun exercise for your hands.
