Triangular rubber pencil thingies..............

[SalVolatile]

Please could someone point me in the direction of a website that might have some pencil grips to help a hypermobile 6 yr old? preferably pink or covered in Hannah Montana! Thanks

Early Learning Centre sell them I think. Dunno about Hannah Montana varieties though.

Aww, they still do these? I had a teal green one. Sorry no idea where you get them though! Try ebay though, if they exist (Hannah M ones) they'll be there!

My ds' OT has given me some much better ones than the normal triangular grips. I'll see if I can find them.

whsmith sell them. Not sure about online though.

I think these are the ones here. They are excellent. My ds is also hypermobile.

Dramaqueen - thanks! . Those are excellent and just what I am looking for, but thanks to everyone for answers so fast (but the Hannah Montana bit was my attempt at a joke beccause i have just come from a parents meeting where my pretty damn bright dc4 has been getting a hard time for hypermobility, which she can't help! Ah well....

Oh yes I know that one - the teacher told my ds he needed to improve his handwriting the other day. err that's why it's on his IEP.

Dramaqueen, what is an IEP and do you mind me asking how old your ds is?

An IEP is an individual education plan. Your child's SENCO should do one with targets. I am assuming that your dd needs some sort of help at school, even if it's just for handwriting. My ds has dyspraxia and is hypermobile. He needs help with writing, co-ordination, socialising, spatial awareness and so on.

Why don't you post in special needs section? I am sure there are people on that board who can answer your questions far better than I can .

Sorry, that sounds as if I don't want to help, but we have only just begun on this "journey" of trying to get support in place, so I don't feel particularly well qualified!!

Woolies have the pencils with them already on- grey and colouring pencils.
