Help me give my students Theraputty CanDo which assists with strengthening weak hand musculature needed for writing and overall hand strength. Theraputty is also highly tactical. Putty and reward boards help with focus.

This project is fully funded
Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
Little hands need strength to handle a writing tool. The way children hold their pencil has a direct effect on how a child's penmanship is. Theraputty strengthens and improves hand strength, circulation and dexterity. At an early-stage children are building fine motor skills and some children need more practice.
My students have special needs and benefit from specialized tools for their academic success.
Theraputty is also useful for special busy hands and can be used as a fidget. The putty is a distractor from whatever is playing in a child's mind or causing them to stress by allowing children to focus on the sensation in their hands instead.
Theraputty lasts forever. It does not pick up dirt or debris. It is non-toxic, latex-free, does not stick to hands, stain or separate. Thank you for your consideration. Your donation will be a blessing to my students.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
