Light-Up Pen - NEW lower price!
$3.00
W26935
This clear pen with the blue crystal ball may be just the motivator you have been missing for improving writing endurance and adjusting writing pressure. With too much pressure the light in the end of the pen stays on. With too little pressure it does not come on at all. With typical variations of pressure the light will flash on and off. For those students who write too lightly, ask them to keep the light on as they write or draw. If they tend to push too hard, ask them to not let the light come on at all. The light provides immediate feedback as to what the hand is doing. For some people the tactile feedback is not enough. But either way, kids love writing with this odd looking pen, so try ‘em, you’ll like ‘em and your students may just write better with ‘em! (Sold individually- not in a set)

Warning - Choking Hazard.  Not for children under 3 years old.
"This clever device does a number of things, all at one time to help maintain proper position of pencil in hand. To use: place the large loop around wrist, so that charm hangs straight down. Now hold charm into palm using ring and little fingers, then grasp pencil and place other loop around upper end of pencil. The pull or tension created helps keep the pencil at an appropriate angle in the web space. Many children respond favorably to this pull saying, they like the feel in their hand. The friendly plastic charm, facilitates isolation of the two sides of the hand by keeping the ulnar side closed. Recommended for use with implements a minimum length of 5 inches."
