The Classics 12-Pack Triangle Pencil Grips, Assorted Bright Colors, 1.75-Inch Long (TPG-16212)

Useful for grip and to prevent rolling pencils

Works well for elementary school fingers. Lightweight, easy to use to properly position fingers for proper pencil grip. Fits just about any standard pencil easily. During covid, students weren't in class to be taught the proper way to hold a pencil for efficient, controlled writing. As a consequence, I see the many creative and absolutely tortured ways students are unsuccessfully trying to hold a pencil. For them, writing is a hated, incredibly inefficient, laborious task! Without being taught how to properly hold a pencil (and form the letters and numbers correctly, but don't get me started on that!), I absolutely cannot imagine how these 3rd grade students will make it through the coming school years where filling out longer and more detailed answers on worksheets will be just a matter of fact. Not everything will be done on a computer so learning to properly hold a pencil and write is essential. PARENTS: take a minute to observe your elementary students to see how they hold the pencil and how they form their letters and numbers today! If you're as tortured watching your student struggle as I am, then GET THESE GRIPS and HELP THEM while there's still time to correct their grip for more efficient writing. Easy for the student to use and with enough practice, these grips will build the muscle memory quickly to the point where these grips will have served their purpose. There are many grip assistance devices out there, and if your child doesn't gravitate to this particular style, then look for one they do like.

The triangles are perfect for pencils on aa grand piano to keep them from sliding into the innards. They are impossible to get on unless you oil the pencil first--as one reviewer suggested. Use any oil or Goo-Gone. They work only with pencils, not even with stick pens. The stiffness isn't a problem for me because I don't need them to cushion my fingers. I just want the pencils not to roll.

Could be softer but works. My thumb nail always digs into my index finger and this is so helpful. It's nice to buy in bulk!

Bought for my grandkids. They help with their grip the thickness and softness gives them the right comfort that they need to write with quality and they work really well

Hard to get on a pen, easier to use on a pencil. Really hard to slide on though specially when you have weak hands from arthritis. Would not buy again. The cats like to play with them.

I chose these pencil grips because I think they make the most ergonomic sense when holding a pencil. You use the 3 fingers to hold the pencil and it helps you place them in the right spot. It allows for a firm grip and positions the writer to write better. I bought these to help kids who have trouble with holding a pencil or need some fine motor skill support. They are durable and the primary colors are nice too.

These look like the useful pencil grips of old, but they're not: these are hard plastic with holes too small to fit standard pencils or Bic barrel pens (very basic, slim pens). I almost injured my hands trying to get these on my pens & pencils. I tried using powder or water, but neither helped at all. gave up, & these are going into the bin. My pens will continue to roll around on my desk.
