Proper penmanship starts right here
Have no idea what you’re looking at when your child leaves you a note or when you’re reviewing his or her homework? It may be time to look into improving your kid’s penmanship skills. But everyone’s method of writing is unique, so it’s hard to manually correct each person’s hand position through show and tell. That’s why our Kids’ Writing Tool is a great solution for gradual physical correction.
Get a grip on legible handwriting
Let your kid hold their pen or pencil with ease in the proper pinch-to-pinch, forefinger-and-thumb grip that helps improve penmanship. It may feel unnatural to a writer whose writing is not very proper or legible, but over time, the grip will feel more and more natural.
Soft and comfortable
Each writing tool slides right onto any standard-sized pen or pencil, and feels soft yet firm thanks to soft-silicone construction. Plus, no funky scents or toxic materials for ease of use.
Great for children
Our tool is perfect for kids age 3 to 12 to correct their penmanship form while they are still learning. But hey, adults…if your writing is hard to read, you might want to give this a shot!
Ambidextrous use
No matter if you are right- or left-handed, this writing tool will work for your writing orientation. With on purchase, you get 3 writing tools (green, blue, orange).
A tool to end frustration and create a better tomorrow
The ultra-versatility of this product makes it an excellent gift or aid tool to a teacher, frustrated parent, daycare staff, or administrative office staff of a school. Legible writing makes for better grades and better opportunities in the future, so it’s great to have such a helpful tool on hand for anyone in need.
My 6-year-old has been battling the fisted pencil grip since he learned to pick up a writing utensil. It’s been his preferred grip for so long that he’s actually surprisingly dextrous with his wrist to the point that he can actually write legible letters and color inside the lines very well. BUT that’s not what we want forever!
I’ve been experimenting with different pencils and grips for years- chunky pencils, triangle-shaped crayons, short and stubby markers and colored pencils, special triangle-shaped pencil grips, grips with indents and bumps on them to promote better finger posture- anything that forces him to use some type of pinch in his grip instead of holding it in his fist. Nothing has stuck. He loves these grips, though!
I can’t say much for their durability, because once he’s got them in a pencil case at school at some point they may not last long, but for the price I’m totally cool with replacing these a few times a year. I haven’t once uttered the words, “Use your pencil pinch!” in days and it’s been blissful to do our summer workbook.
This product has been a lifesaver for my child’s handwriting ever since he’s been home due to the pandemic. He had a tendency to hold his forefinger higher up on the pencil. Even after our corrections it would find itself back up higher on the pencil. The pencil grips have trained his fingers to hold a pencil/pen more correctly, now even when we use one with out the grip!
My son loved to use the grips, firstly because there was a blue one, his favorite color, and also because they were comfortable on his fingers and he wasn’t worried about how they felt. That allowed him to concentrate more on his handwriting. Highly recommend this product for anyone who’s child is learning to write or needs a trainer in holding the pencil correctly to neaten their handwriting.
These are great for kids that are trying to hold the pencil and it keeps slipping out of their hands. My kids love these and are also great for drawing for long periods of time. Very comfortable, flexible, non-slip, and soft. It definitely helps with keeping fingers in place for learning kids to write. This variety pack of different colors helps identify pencils for each kid. Definitely recommend.
I have had such difficulties trying to teach my youngest daughter to hold her implement. She is a lefty in a right-handed home. Since receiving these pencil grips, she can hold her implement properly 100% of the time and WITHOUT frustration for either of us. If you are having frustrations, give this a try. Highly recommended!
My little one is turning 3 year old soon. He has been holding pens in a weird way (no matter how I correct him). I bought this to pencil grip to see if he will start holding pens correctly. It’s a bit tough to get him to use the grip at first, but after I put the grip on tightly he had no choice but using it. It made a great difference on how he holds his pens. Love it! Will definitely recommend it!
Great pencil grip to have in your bag of tricks. Be careful, you may find a similar pencil grip cheaper but they do not necessarily fit on a standard pencil. Some are slightly too large and slide down a pencil making them useless. These are great and fit a standard pencil! Highly recommend.
Some of my first-graders were having problems with pencil grip. They loved using these, and I was very pleased to see their grip improving. After they had used them for a while, I told my students they were allowed to stop using them, as long as they continued holding their pencils correctly. Some of the students liked them so well they didn’t want to stop using them! I’d definitely buy them again. They seem to hold up well and do the job.
