Frequently Asked Questions
- Does putty actually help with ADHD?
- Research from the University of Central Florida shows that rhythmic fidgeting improves working memory in ADHD adults by 10–15%. Putty provides resistance-based sensory input that gives your hands something meaningful to do — unlike light plastic fidgets that lose their appeal in a week. Our customers use Beast Putty during meetings, on calls, and while working to stay focused without distracting anyone around them. It won't replace your meds, but it might replace your destroyed pen caps.
- Will it dry out?
- No. Beast Putty is made from premium silicone — not the rubber-based stuff that hardens into a rock after a week in your desk drawer. Keep it in the jar when you're not using it and it stays exactly the same. Months later, same stretch, same resistance, same color shift.
- Can CPS purchase Beast Putty through district procurement?
- Yes. Contact jackson@beastputty.com to set up district procurement and bulk pricing for CPS or suburban districts.
- Is Beast Putty appropriate for elementary school students?
- Yes. Beast Putty is non-toxic and safe for all ages. Softer resistance levels work well for younger students.
