HandiThings® Weighted Products:
HandiThings® pencil weights are recommended for use during fine motor or self help activities. They can be helpful for individuals who experience tremoring during fine motor tasks. They provide proprioceptive input, increase sensory feedback, enhance kinesthetic awareness, and can be used for strengthening exercises.
PencilWeight™
Description: A rectangular pouch with sewn in weighted segments and a hook&loop fastener.
Materials/Construction: Dark navy stretch jersey fabric, lead-free steel shot, and a hook&loop strip.
Instructions: The recommended installation is to lay the weight flat on a table and roll it up around a pencil, securing it with the hook&loop strip. The PW can be positioned 1/2” above the pencil point and be used as a “grip”, or it can be positioned 1-2” up from the pencil point and the user can grip the pencil itself. Both positions are effective.
Colors/Size/Packaging: The PW is available in dark navy. It is approximately 3” x 5” (flat), and about 7/8” diameter when wrapped around a writing instrument. It weights approximately ¼ pound. Sold individually.
Comments: The PW can be used with most writing instruments or coloring tools. It can be used alone or in conjunction with most of the commercially available pencil grippers as well. Hand washing or wiping with a warm damp cloth and blow-drying is recommended. WARNING: This product contains lead-free steel shot which could present a choking hazard. To insure the safety of the user, adequate supervision is recommended.
