Firesara Original Owl Training Grips for Kids Handwriting

My tutoring students come to me with a range of handwriting ability, from the painful-to-watch to really quite good, but they all ask to use these grips because they're just so adorable. (I only wish I could buy a set in all tie-dye, since that's the one everyone wants!)They aren't *helpful* for my kiddos who already have decent grips going on, and because they're a bit bulky can even make handwriting less excellent for those kids (but only while they're using them). On the other hand, for the kiddos who tend to hold their pencils like Coke cans or baseball bats, these pencil grips are *wonderful*. Their fingers are forced into the correct positions (some other grips may be comfortable, but still allow bad habits), but they don't seem to mind because the owls are so cute. It does take some time and consistency to retrain their habits so correct grip transfers to writing even without using the little owls, but it's a very helpful tool.And I have lots of students saying, "Text my parents so they know where to get owls for me to use at home!"

As a pediatric OT, I am always looking for innovative equipment to help my little kids at school to feel confident and succeed. These pencil grips are fantastic and has helped several of my little ones learn to hold their pencils better. Through practice and developing their motor planning skills, they've learned to place their fingers correctly into the pencil grip. The children who benefits from the pencil grips get to choose to work with an 'owl' or an 'elephant' grip. Several of my students no longer need the grip or need me to help them hold the pencil. They are holding the pencil to draw, trace and write on their own. The grips are a bit pricey but they are sturdy and made well to fit varying size fingers.

What we like to this item it helped a lot to teach our daughter to write and it has good grip on the pencil

These are super-cute, and very functional. I can see this really helping my preschoolers. I only wish I had invented it. They also arrived rather quickly. Overall, I am satisfied with this product.

I bought these for my 6 year old who struggles with her grip and then fatigues easily and doesn't want to write. The designs are super cute and motivated her to pick up her pencil more often! The design is a bit cumbersome to get little fingers into. There's a ring on the bottom and it's awkward to find the spot for your finger. Once she had a little help, the grip did improve her penmanship and ease with writing.

The grips do what it suppose to do, are really pretty and my it is now used to fit it always on his pencils. When he started using it I need to make one correction. They are pretty soft, that said, the index finger slips through the hole so it became uncomfortable to use, I solve it making a rubber tip for the finger and it solves the problem. Anything else, recommended 100%

I got these for my 4yr old sons to use, as they practice writing letters. They've struggled to maintain good pencil posture, and I was hoping these would help.Firstly, my son's have been much more excited to practice handwriting, because they get to choose which owl to use. They don't have to think about their grip, and I think their fingers have an easier time forming the letters due to the decreased strain.These are cute, functional, and I'm so glad I bought them!!! 10/10, would buy again.

The little figures and the coloring appeal to kids. I feel it is a fun way to promote writing and holding a pencil correctly. They are a little pricey but in looking over the other options I thought this design would be more durable than the thinner ones. They are exactly like they look on line.
