Overloading your senses can be jarring, as you just may feel overwhelmed in the moment. If you happen to favor a specific sense more than another, you may have an acute awareness of what is going on if you use it. What we mean is, you may have a stronger sense of smell or taste or are able to hear better than others. When it comes to touch, there are certain items that just feel pleasing and interesting to anybody who encounters them. Whether it’s hard or slimy or wet or sharp, your brain will send signals that alert you of how it feels. Something that anybody will enjoy the feeling of is putty. There are people who use putty to calm themselves down and reengage their senses. It helps with fidgeting too. But there is also putty that you can use for artwork and to just play with. We’ve highlighted five of the best putty sets for you to experiment with and enjoy. Let’s take a look.
