Classic Pencil Grip

Why we love it

The Classic Pencil Grip slides onto any standard pencil or pen in seconds and naturally guides the three fingers into the ideal writing position (the tripod grip). No more clenched fingers on the tip or a hand that tires after two lines. At $2.99, it's one of the most affordable occupational-therapy tools to make homework time smoother.

Made of a soft-yet-firm plastic, it features ergonomic contours that show exactly where each finger belongs, without being so soft that it shifts around. The stroke becomes steadier and handwriting cleaner and far less painful.

Who it's for

A must-have for children with ADHD, dyspraxia or low muscle tone, and for anyone who grips a pencil far too tightly.

• Corrects a fist grip or four-finger grasp
• Reduces hand fatigue and cramping
• Improves handwriting legibility and speed
• Reusable from one pencil to the next, at home or in class

At home, in the classroom or in occupational therapy, let your child use it a few minutes a day at first. Recommended from ages 3-4, right from the first scribbles. BPA-free and easy to wash with soap and water.
