Kid-Friendly Pencil

TwistnwriteWe're hearing raves about the easy-to-use Twist 'n Write pencil from PenAgain. Originally designed to encourage kids to use the proper pencil grip, it makes writing more comfortable and fun for little hands. And parents, teachers, and occupational therapists are reporting that the ergonomic rocket-ship design is also very helpful for kids with weak motor skills, ADHD, autism, or juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. The pencils use refillable cartridges and never need to be sharpened.

THANK YOU!! I have never before seen these. As a mother of a son with sensory and fine-motor issues, a pencil like this is definitely worth a try :-)

These are perfect. Some time ago my mother got a pen very similar to this from her rheumatologist. It's nice to see a child version of the same thing!

Thanks for the tip. We're going to try it!

My son just started Kindergarten and has been struggling with his pencil grasp. This would really help him build his small motor skills for writing.
