 TeddyMay 13, 2011
By Arnine C. Weiss
I just received my theraputty and I'm really disappointed. Each container has only a drop of the putty, not even enough to make a good ball. I thought the containers would be at least filled half way. In order to be effective and get enough for therapy, you have to combine the colors. I feel like I was ripped off.

It's a lot less than you'd expectOct 27, 2011

Kind of a rip off for what I bought it for. You have to combine colors to have enough to work with and that sort of defeats the purpose of it's increasing levels of firmness. In the future, I will just buy the individual colors with an amount sufficient for OT.

 puttyJul 01, 2008
By Vicky Obrien
The putty works great, it came quickly. The only problem I found is that the orange-red putty smelled very toxic, all the others were fine. I will purchase again with the exclusion of this color or I will talk with someone directly.

 A Good Value for Those Needing Different Resistance Levels...Jul 28, 2011
By delicateflower152
Occupational Therapy OT Theraputty (6 pack) is an excellent value if you need therapy putty to rehabilitate your hand or fingers. The six different resistance levels allow one to increase resistance as strength and flexibility return. At a cost of $3.35 per container and "free" shipping when your Amazon order totals $25, this is an excellent value as compared to purchasing each resistance level separately.
My palm is 3" wide and 3 1/2" long from wrist to the point where my fingers begin. I can attest to the fact that two ounces of theraputty is sufficient if you are using this as part of a physical therapy program. That amount makes a ball about the size of a ping-pong ball - which if you are working to regain use of your hand or fingers is more than enough to provide a workout without completely frustrating the user.
The beige putty is quite soft and will "string" when removed from the container. This can be prevented by pulling the putty away from the container's edges into a lump and then taking it out of the container. The putties have a slightly odd odor when first opened; I found the red and green putties to have the strongest odors. However, they were not so noxious as to cause me to have an issue which required contacting the seller.
If you need to purchase theraputty for use in an at-home rehabilitation program, you should definitely take a look at Occupational Therapy OT Theraputty (6 pack). It is an excellent value and will give you the resistances you may need as your physical therapy progresses.

Great for at home OTAug 07, 2011
By Heather J. Finnegan
"Teacher Momma"
My son has Sensory Processing disorder with motor delays. We use this putty to "wake up" his hands before doing homework. We hide beads and such for him to find. In regards to others who have complained that there isn't enough, there is only 2 oz. as STATED in the description. Note that a few pounds of a single color is over $20. 2 oz is plenty for at home work with him. This is great for him as he is onto the blue and green colors. Will be needing the black soon! This is an inexpensive way for us to work with our son at home!
