Where can I get special grips for pencils or pens that make them easier for children. They would fit over a normal pencil or pen. ALSO Are there any good prices pens or pencils that are already shaped to make it easier for them to grip.


Any web links to these items are very much welcome. or any names of the item too.

Many thanks

have you tried the early learning centre?

Stabilo make a handwriting pen that has the triangular grip built in, it comes in pink and blue and for both left & right handed children. I'm sure I've seen them in WH Smith before.

the Stabilo ones are currently half price in blue supermarket and orange one! But do check that buying the correct grip, whether right or left. Am assuming it makes a difference.

Baker Ross do them in packs of 10, you can order online.

The Staples website has the stabilo pens reduced atm as well, they also seem to have pencils with grips and triangular pencils.

Thanks you everyone. I will look at the Stabilo pens.

The pens above from Baker Ross they make the pencil triangle shape. I know that you can get pencils that are triangle. Are they good for grip to make writing easier too?


Also I have seen these on ebay.. Are these any good? One is foam, another is rubber ribbed & the other makes the pencil into a triangle.....

WHS SMiths do triangular pencils.

Our school provides them - have you asked the teacher?

Thanks everyone. I have seen some triangle pencils in the shops and will look into them.
