ARK's Butter Pencil Grip (2 Pack)

Butter Pencil Grip (2 Pack) was invented by occupational therapist Tina M. Butterfield, MSOT, OTR/L and developed by ARK Therapeutic. The Butter Grip is specially designed to promote proper finger positioning during writing tasks. The fingers "hug" the grip, and the fingertips rest just below the grip on the pencil. In this position, the Butter Grip opens up the web space, provides support to the finger muscles, and can help decrease hyperextension.  

• Can be used with standard pencils, most crayons, and most pens
• Comes in 8 colors
• Ambidextrous
• Ages 3+
• Made in USA

Benefits

• Encourages fine motor development and handwriting legibility
• The round shape of this occupational therapy pencil grip serves as a tactile cue for the fingers to grasp around
• Use the Butter Grip with golf pencils (sold separately) so that beginners or individuals with fine motor difficulties can hold the whole round pencil grip in the palm of their hand for added support
• For those who need extra input to the hand, try putting the second Butter Grip on the opposite end of a regular pencil (near the eraser); this will add a bit more weight to the pencil for added hand awareness and help the pencil "fall into" the web space where it should rest
