Problem and Solution
Without a training grip: A child may place the fingers in an uncomfortable position, squeeze the pencil too tightly or need frequent reminders about finger placement.
With the silicone pen grip: The shaped openings provide immediate visual and tactile guidance, making daily pencil-grip practice clearer and easier to follow.
How to Fit and Use the Grip
- Choose a standard pencil or pen that fits the grip opening.
- Gently slide the writing instrument through the centre opening. Do not force the grip onto a thick pen.
- Position the grip approximately 3.3 cm from the pencil tip, as shown in the product image, then adjust it for comfort and clear visibility.
- Arrange the grip for the right or left hand and place the thumb, index finger and middle finger in the guided positions.
- Begin with short practice sessions and increase the duration gradually according to the child’s comfort.
Why Choose This Product?
It gives children clear, immediate guidance instead of relying only on repeated verbal reminders. Its small, flexible design makes it practical for regular practice at home or in the classroom, and it can be moved between compatible pencils and pens when needed.
Durability, Care and Cleaning
