Pencil Weight

If you're looking for an effective tool to improve both grip and fine motor skills while writing or drawing, the Pencil Weight from Senso-Care is exactly what you need. This ingenious product is a rectangular pouch with sewn-in weighted segments and a hook-and-loop fastener to securely attach it to your writing instrument. It is perfect for those who experience tremors during fine motor tasks, but that's just one of many applications. The Pencil Weight can also be used for sensory processing in inclusive education. Through proprioceptive input and increased sensory feedback, it helps children in the classroom to better coordinate their writing movements.

The material is a dark navy stretch jersey fabric, filled with lead-free steel pellets and equipped with a hook-and-loop strip. Installation is simple: lay the Pencil Weight flat on the table, wrap it around a pencil or pen, and secure it with the hook-and-loop fastener. You can position the weight about a half-inch above the pencil tip to use as a grip, or 1-2 inches above if you want to grip the pencil itself. Both positions are effective in enhancing the writing experience.

The Pencil Weight is about 3 x 5 inches when flat and has a diameter of about 7/8 inch when wrapped around a writing instrument. Each weight is approximately a quarter-pound and is sold individually. It can be used with most writing instruments or coloring tools, and can even be combined with most commercially available pencil grips. For maintenance, it is advisable to hand wash the product or wipe it with a warm damp cloth and then blow dry.

It's important to note that the product contains lead-free steel pellets, which could pose a choking hazard. Therefore, adequate supervision is required during use. As a tip to prevent the Pencil Weight from slipping on smooth, glossy pencils, you can wrap a thin rubber band around the writing instrument before applying the weight.
