My son has hyper-mobile joints in his hands. In first grade he was having a terrible time holding a pencil. It was very difficult for him to stabilize his hand. He tired quickly when writing. This was the ONLY pencil grip that kept his hand in a position where he did not tire so quickly, and enabled him to use less pressure while writing. His writing and his hand strength improved very quickly. I highly recommend the Grotto grip. His teachers in first and second grade also loved it, and I gave them some to use with my son's classmates. The boys all called it the Bionicle grip; it does look much cooler than the standard grips.

I thought that by spending a little more cash I would get something that could really help my child learn to hold his pencil right. I put them on the pencil and I couldn't write with it. I have been teaching school for a lot of years and would NEVER recommend using these for your child. Go with the cheap little ones or the triangle ones and I think you will get better results.

This grip helps child position fingers for best grip and control of pencil. Excellent helper for sensitive kids or those with fine motor skill challenges or for help getting better control of pencil for learning to write. Would not rate this as a toy.

I really like the grotto grips for my 5 year old. In a pre-Kindergarten assessment, the teacher said she wanted my son to practice a correct pencil grip before starting Kindergarten in 3 months. His little fingers had a tough time holding a pencil "correctly". After trying several other brands and styles of grips which didn't help (he could use the grip and hold the pencil the wrong way) we found the grotto grip. It took just a little getting use to his middle finger still sat just a little high up on the grip at first. After a week, his hand relaxed and he likes using the gripper. Yesterday he picked up a regular pencil and without thinking he held it with his fingers in the right position. We will continue to use the grips for the next few months but they are undoubtedly making a huge difference for my son's pencil grip and his willingness to write more. The best grips I have found.

I work in a school and the Occupational Therapist recommended these grips. It is the only grip that I have seen that teaches children to hold their pencils correctly. My son has been using it since September and his grip is getting much better.
