Product Description
Which resistance level should I choose?
Discovery Putties come in 4 resistance levels: extra-soft, soft, medium and firm. If you are not sure which level your child needs, consider starting with the extra soft or soft and moving up resistance level as they build up hand strength.
How many pieces come with the putty?
Putties come with 9-15 pieces, depending on the theme.
Are Discovery Putties safe?
Rest assured, our Discovery Putties are made with only non-toxic materials and are gluten, casein, latex and soy free!
How should I store my putty?
After each use, place your putty back in its cute & convenient metal tin to help prevent drying. If your putty does dry out, that’s OK! Just knead a small amount of water into the putty until it’s returned to its normal texture.
Can Discovery Putty be removed from fabric?
Yes! We formulated our putties to be as mess-free as possible - a bit of rubbing alcohol should help remove the putty from fabric.
WARNING:
CHOKING HAZARD. Small parts. Not for children under 3 years. Use with adult supervision. Not for mouthing or chewing. Product may stick to hair. Not intended for use as earplugs.

- Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2024Style: School Tools - Extra SoftVerified PurchaseBoth of our daughters love this putty, especially our youngest with ASD1. She uses it quite often for sensory regulation.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 27, 2024Style: Animal Rescue - FirmVerified PurchaseI love that this putty isn’t sticky. The little pieces are fun to be able to put in and find but the brown putty is SO tough. Im an adult and I work with my hands and I found this really hard to manipulate. My daughter didn’t want me to return it, but I don’t know how much use she’ll get out of it. I feel like these are for children, and I wanted it to be tougher than playdough, but I think it’s too much.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 15, 2024Style: Animal Rescue - FirmVerified PurchaseConsidering the price I am very disappointed it came with broken pieces. The animals are cute but are also very random and look like they don't belong as a set. Some pieces are shiny and smooth while some are matte.
Disappointed 😞 too expensive to have cheap materials.

Images in this review - Reviewed in the United States on June 11, 2024Style: Pretty PinkVerified PurchaseEven after kneading it & warming it up in my own hands for a while, the putty is extremely difficult to manipulate and could be hard for smaller kid hands (I know it's for slightly older kids due to the size of the objects you hide in it). But I purchased this with the idea of letting my mother in law with dementia play with it & have it as a fun activity for her- but with her arthritic hands, she can't manipulate the putty. The color of the putty is great & the little toys are nice though!
- Reviewed in the United States on September 22, 2024Style: Around The World - MediumVerified PurchaseWe love this! The putty/dough is a great consistency. My child loves the planets. Very cool!
- Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2024Style: Regulation Putty - MediumVerified PurchaseUsed this for the all about me unit. Used directly with the teacher one at a time peeling out the faces and noticing different features and how the faces might be feeling and if they have ever felt the same. Would also be good for speech.
