Claw pencil grips feature a smart 3-finger "cup" design that naturally places fingers in a functional tripod grasp and open web space position. The thumb, pointer and middle fingers fit comfortably inside the custom "cups" to firmly grip writing tools. This latex-free pencil grip is great for use with pencils, pens and regular-size crayons. In addition to being an excellent writing tool to help teach children to hold their pencils correctly, claw pencil grips are also a good choice for individuals who have arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, or thumb tendonitis.
