WRITING SUPPORT TOOLS: Bathtub Crayons Proper Grip Wrapped Thumb
Use of bathtub crayons in the tub or shower are great because to write on the wall or bathtub, the child needs to tilt the crayon back which in turn helps to move the fingers into the correct grip position.
$6.49 (includes crayons & sponge)
Chalk (Jumbo sized)
Jumbo sized chalk or pencils help with proper grip formation because the larger the barrel of the writing tool, the harder it is for a child to wrap or hyper extend the thumb, which is a common grip problem seen in young children. ($3.99)
Easels
Use of elevated surfaces to write encourages the proper grip formation because children normally have to tilt the pencil or pen back & form the proper grip in order to write comfortably. ($43.99)
Pencil Grips
Pencil grips are used on pencils to help a child learn where to position his/her fingers. Daily use helps to make proper grip useage a habit. Steps4Kids offers 3 sizes and shapes, and a trio pack with one of each! ($1.50 - $1.79)
