Grip - pencil grips, fine motor skills


Good pencil grip. The texture and material both make your grip more comfortable. Slips and slides on traditional yellow pencils, but fit sturdier pencils like the Papermate Mirado Black Warrior or even the decorative, incentive pencils.



Colors are vibrant and fun. There were an equal number of each color, making it easy to choose ones to keep and ones to give to schoolmates.

If you want cheap grips for your pens and pencils these will do. I've had a problem with mind tearing apart very easily around the patterns in the material though and that was disappointing. You get a bunch of them in the package though.

I use these to add cushion and bulk to crochet hooks. My hands cramp up if I use crochet hooks too much, and I'm just too cheap to buy new ones- and consider it wasteful when they'll pretty much work the same anyway. So... on hooks where the grips are too big for the diameter and slip right over, I wrap tape around the hook until it's large enough for the grip to fit on tightly, then wrestle the grip over it. I like these better than the foam-type grips for this purchase, although the gummy exterior does attract fuzzies from the yarn. That somewhat dulls the translucent, glittery material of the grips, but if you're just using them for writing utensils, they are VERY cute and sparkly. Another note: they're not all the same shapes- some are round, some triangles, some spirals, some squared-off, etc. Each color has a different shape. So, if you know of a particular shape that is the ONLY one that works for you, the rest might be a toss. Or cutt them up and use them as over-sized gummy beads? Just a suggestion. - Pencil Grips - Fine Motor Skills - Grip'
