Triangular Pencil Grip 5 Pack

Product Information

When I saw a child using the wrong grasp, I would remind them to use their “Go” fingers. This worked pretty well with a lot of my kiddos. You could also make a sign to have hanging or on the child’s desk as a visual reminder instead of always verbally reminding them. Claw Pencil Grip: This grip has a unique design that helps children hold the pencil with their fingers in the correct position, reinforcing proper handwriting technique. Crossover Pencil Grip: This grip is designed to position the fingers in a relaxed and natural way, allowing for a comfortable and efficient handwriting experience. Pencil Toppers: These rubber or silicone toppers can be added to the pencil, providing a soft and cushioned grip for a more comfortable writing experience. You particularly want to focus on fine motor activities that require them to imitate how to hold a pencil or strengthen the fingers used in a pincer grasp.

Please note – Pencil Grips are designed to be a snug fit, so that they do not move around once in place. A tiny amount of talc, Vaseline or vegetable oil may be required to “ease” the grip onto the pen or pencil. Pencil Grips fit standard pencils and pens. They do not fit large-barrelled, chunky or triangular pens or pencils. Not recommended for children under three years old as small parts may represent a choking hazard. Adult supervision is recommended. Pencils and pens are not included, they are for illustrative purposes only. Mini Slant Boards: Slant boards position the writing surface at an angle, promoting better posture, hand-eye coordination, and more fluid handwriting. Since technology is not going anywhere and does more good than harm, adapting is the best course of action. That is where The Tech Edvocate comes in.

There are a few types of functional grasps. It's important to remember that children are still developing their grasp until age 5 and older. A 3-year-old is not going to be developmentally ready for these types of grasps. Bumpy Grips: With a textured surface, these grips provide tactile stimulation, helping children develop a more precise and controlled pencil grip. I will also note that the only way to really know what type of pencil will work is to get the advice of an Occupational Therapist who can assess your child’s fine motor skills and make a professional opinion based on their evaluation. If you feel your child truly has a delay in fine motor skills and handwriting, please seek the help of a professional and don’t try to treat them yourself.

The reason I use pencil grips as a last resort is that many children lose them or they just become more of a distraction than a help, I have found. However, depending on the type of grip they can be beneficial. Writing Slant Boards: These slanted boards provide an inclined surface for writing, helping to reduce wrist strain and improve writing control. Ergonomic Pencil Grips: These grips are contoured to fit the natural shape of the hand, reducing hand fatigue and promoting a comfortable writing posture.

Again, it is best to have a professional Occupational Therapist assess which grips could be helpful for your child’s situation. But here is a good post to get you started. A couple of my favorites are the Grotto gripor the training grips. The grotto grip typically works better with older children, than the training grip with younger ones.
