Flip Crayons

When classes started this year Logan struggled with holding his pencil the correct way.  He would get very discouraged and want to give up.  Then came the dreaded "I don't like school momma!" 

Then his WONDERFUL teacher introduced these "Flip crayons" and PROBLEM SOLVED!  He went from gripping the entire crayon or pencil to using it correctly in one morning at class. 



This is very encouraging to me because while Olivia is all about perseverance, Logan will get frustrated with himself and want to give up.  Or, in Logan's case, go up to his teacher and say "I'm ready to go home to play with my mom" :)

After


Just thought I would share in case anyone else's little one is struggling with pencil grip.

Hugs and happy writing!!!  :)
