This clever device helps maintain proper position of the pencil in the hand. Simply place the loop around the wrist then grasp the pencil and place other loop around the upper end of the pencil. The child holds the friendly plastic dolphin charm between their little finger and next finger. Strange though it sounds, it closes the grip and is really effective. WARNING: This product contains small parts which could present a choking hazard. To insure the safety of the user, adequate supervision is recommended.
