Crossover Pencil Grips – Pack of 5

The Crossover (Cross Guard) Pencil Grip Pack of 5 Grips – Variety of Colour Options

The Crossover Pencil Grip is designed to aid correct pencil grip development. It encourages the fingers to form the tripod grasp, which is considered to be the most effective grasp for handwriting activities.

• Fits on standard pencils and pens

Please note – Pencil Grips are designed to be a snug fit, so that they do not move around once in place. A tiny amount of talc, Vaseline or vegetable oil may be required to “ease” the grip onto the pen or pencil. Pencil Grips fit standard pencils and pens. They do not fit large-barrelled, chunky or triangular pens or pencils. Not recommended for children under three years old as small parts may represent a choking hazard. Adult supervision is recommended. Pencils and pens are not included, they are for illustrative purposes only.

Larger packs of grips are available on request (schools, colleges, therapists, NHS etc.) – Please message us.
