The Pencil Grip Writing CLAW, Sample Pack, 2 Each of Three Sizes - TPG-21123

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!

This pencil grip is amazing! I have a 5 year old and a 4 year old and my 5 year old has been writing fine since he was 3, so when my 4 year old continued to draw scribbles and have no interest in forming letters I thought it might be a grip issue. I bought those triangle crayons and then triangle colored pencils and nothing changed. Therefore i concluded that the traditional triangle pencil grip would not help much either. I bought this one because I saw someone posted a that it was great for their child with cerebral palsy. My child doesn't have that but if helped the other kid then it stands to reason it could help my kid. As soon as the grip came I helped my son put his fingers in and I kid you not he wrote his name and a bunch of very detailed stick people. It was like he understood how but his little hands just weren't fine tuned enough to do it for him. I'm sure developmentally he would have eventually got the fine motor skills down, but why not give him something to help him get there quicker? It might not be such a miracle grip for everybody but for the price, I'd sure try it before I let a teacher label my kid as "special" because he only draws scribbles. Just sayin' :)

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.

The best grip we've used by far. My daughter kept this grip on for her whole homework time, the very first time! I didn't have to nag at all. She even took it to go color all by herself! A truly awesome invention, I hope everyone who has been struggling with their child's grip will try this and find the relief that I have! All other grips (we've tried probably 4 other well-rated ones as well as the standard drug store ones) have been immediately tossed aside by my daughter because they were uncomfortable and difficult to use (which I had to agree with her). My daughter is 7 and we bought the medium, as suggested by the company, and they fit perfectly. Pros: Extremely comfortable, as close as it can get to really holding the pencil with your own fingers. Guides fingers perfectly. It automatically puts your fingers in the right grip without feeling forced. Easy to understand. Some grips are really confusing/complicated. My daughter used these without any instruction. Made in America! Flexible - can fit many different size pencils, pens, and crayons. Great customer service if you have a question. Affordable Cons: None By the way, I thought that I got some that were really for lefties since the cup marked "3" fit only on the 1st finger. But the "3" designates the size, they are truly for either hand. I wrote the company to ask, and here is the amazing, detailed response I received from the owner in less than a day: Thank you for your email. I am happy to hear you like the Writing CLAW. I purchased the company a year ago from the inventor in Michigan. I can explain the letter and numbering logic. The "T" on the bottom does represent the cup for thumb placement. The "1", "3", "5" on the another cup represent the size of the Writing CLAW. T-1 means Small, T-3 size is medium and T-5 sizing is Large. The Writing CLAW was designed for his best friends son who's is right handed. As the CLAW gained exposure and use by therapist and parents, it became clear the Writing CLAW could be used by left or right handed writers. The universal comes in to play as the same Writing CLAW can be used on a pen and then changed to a pencil. I am going to review the wording used on our site to make sure everything is clear regarding the lettering on the bottom as well as the use of the CLAW. On a side note, we have recently discovered that the Writing CLAW is now being made (copied) in China and sold on sites like Ebay. Please make sure when you purchasing a Writing CLAW you check to make sure it is not made of silicon and is clearly marked Made in the USA. Thank you again and please let me know if you have any further questions.

This was one of best products to help students with pencil grip once they had finger dexterity to hold the pencil and just needed reminder of functioning pencil grip

While the product seems durable and high quality, it is not suitable for left handed kids. I had read reviews saying that these weren't meant for lefties, and bought them anyway, thinking the little cups for each finger could just be flipped inside out to suit our needs. Unfortunately that was not the case, so we had to return them. They seem like a good product for right handed kids, but they don't match the product description.

My son broke his pinky on his dominant hand so he is having to write left handed to do his math homework. It helps him control the pencil perfectly! The photo show his writing on only his SECOND day with his non dominant hand. I am amazed on how well this product works!
