I'm a kindergarten teacher and have been for many years. These are the ONLY grips that I have found to help struggling grippers correct their grip. It is annoying at first because it takes time for the kids to get used to putting them on independently, but it's usually just one or two in the class that need them, so I never introduce them to more than one kiddo at a time. They've been a game changer for many of my kids over the years. Many have completely corrected their grip using them. But it does take time! Interestingly enough, even though they are never as simple to put on as picking up a pencil without the grip, once the kids get used to them, they WANT to use them because they work better than their wonky grip! I cannot say enough about them...just be persistent when your kiddo starts using it!

My grandson sort of rested the pencil in his hand, I cant really describe it, but these grips have helped him hold a pencil with good control. We are so pleased with this product.

I purchased the writing claws to help my 4 year old learn to grip the pencil better. I brought the remaining into her preschool class (4-5 year olds) and the teachers had not seen them before. They reported to me at the end of the day that the children did very well with the new "grippers", even a child who they felt would not "allow" them to place his fingers in the writing claw did so and had great success! I will say that for a 4-5 year old it is a little challenging to switch them from different pencils or crayons, so some assistance was necessary to get them on and off the pencil/crayons. Other than that, the children don't mind/enjoy using them and seems to do the trick in gripping the pencil!

Not very practical :( my Kinders did not like these.

The product works great once the children learn how to put them on. The only problem is you have to go to each child and put it on their fingers for them.
