The Pencil Grip The Classics TPG-21106 Writing CLAW for Pencils and Utensils, Small Size, 6 Count Assorted Colors, Assorted: Blue/Green/Orange/Pink/Purple/Red/Yellow

My newly 4 year old is a leftie and this works great for him! I showed him how to use it and he was writing with it 1 second later. He thinks it's fun and it's comfortable for him to write. It doesn't look like it will fit a toddler pencil (the thick ones) but it fit a regular pencil great. It's a tight fit so it doesn't slide around at all. Very happy with my purchase!

My 4 year old son was struggling with tracing and writing his name. We practiced daily, but he wasn't improving. It didn't help matters that his twin sister was already able to not only trace letters perfectly, but also write her name on a blank sheet of paper (no tracing). As I observed my son, I realized his issue was that he couldn't place his fingers on his pencil the "right" way, which was affecting his ability to control his writing. He would become frustrated and almost cry whenever I would make him practice his writing. The first day I received this item, I tried it out on my son. His tracing improved 100%! Not only that, he kept asking me if could practice some more--no tears, and lots of smiles. After only 30 minutes with these writing grips, he was able to write his name unassisted by me AND without tracing letters! He literally improved by a whole year in 30 minutes! I am very grateful for these writing grips because my son is no longer discouraged; he is very excited to learn!

These are a game changer for helping students master correct pencil grasp. Make sure you order small if using for pre-k.

These are great. They are exactly the same as the ones used for my son's OT sessions. The design just works. They will definitely make learning to write much easier for him.

My child likes holding a pencil or marker with 4 fingers instead of the pinched 3-tripod shape. I got the size small because he is Kindergarten age. The thumb and 1st finger fit ok, but his third finger has to be jammed tightly into the last grip space. We did schoolwork with it and it really helped him keep the shape even after we removed it. It is the best grip shape/setup we have used for a natural, non aggravating pencil hold. He likes it a lot, but after a few minutes, he started saying his finger hurt and it was really tight. So, I guess I have to buy the size medium for him then (which I think is a bit odd considering the description says Kindergarten age all the way to most adult females. Can you make an in between size? Like size small becomes XS, then say Kindergarten to age 10-11 ish, size small, then age 12-adult female be medium? That would make more sense. I just hope the size medium isn't rattling around on his fingers. He doesn't have massive paws either and he isn't overweight (like 50th percentile), so I can't imagine how size small wouldn't fit him at his age and size.

Turns out I should have gotten medium for my 3-and-a-half-year-old grandson. I know that seems young to start with writing, but he shows a real interest and as I never learned how to hold a pencil/pen "right" (and these gadgets weren't around when my daughters were little) I like the idea. His now-baby brother may grow into the smalls, but rather than invest in mediums, I got the older boy some big round Ticonderoga pencils which work beautifully!

My 2nd grader has had a hard time with his pencil grip since he started writing/coloring. He has low muscle tone and his strength in his hands is not that great. His kindergarten teacher had these in his class and I found them on Amazon. I think they're the best pencil grips we've tried (and we've tried a LOT). There's 3 sections, one for their thumb, their 1st and middle finger (they're labeled). They also work for left or right-handed people. If you pull the grip down lower on the pencil towards the point it works great and really helps him keep a good grip on his pencil. I can tell a difference in his handwriting when he's used the grip and when he's not. We've also tried them with crayons and they work well for those as well.

This is really good! It was very hard for me to teach my brother to hold the pencil properly, but with this he became a natural. He would just put his fingers in the holes and I wouldn't have to say anything! When it was time to take out the claw, he did not forget the proper way of holding the pencil. Compared to my cousins who did not use this, they are unable to hold the pencil properly and would always have to be corrected. This really helped in teaching him how to write!

Mis hijos tienen 4 y 5 años y no lo podemos usar porque les cuesta muchísimo meter los dedos en los dediles. Tras unos segundos, dicen que les aprieta demasiado. Pesan entre 16 y 17kg (no son gordos). ¿Para qué edad se supone que es la talla de niño? ¿Para cuando aún no utilizan el lápiz? Una gran decepción.

Item is fantastic not an issue but advert is misleading people i taught i will receive 12 drips but i received 9 ...instead of round grip i received dolphine lucky that turned good for my child

Cumplen muy bien su función, les ayuda mucho a los niños cuidando les cuesta trabajo sostener el lápiz, además de que les ayuda a mejorar la letra

Is great, my kid got more interested in homework, and it's helping with his writing.

Si funcionan y se ven de buena calidad, pero son muy pequeños para los dedos de mi peque, para niños de kinder creo que si funcionarían perfecto.
