Grotto Grips
The Grotto Grip, available from Kurtz Bros., is a patented, ergonomic pencil grip designed to improve handwriting and reduce hand strain. Developed and tested by pediatric occupational therapists, this unique grip helps decrease hand fatigue and pencil pressure, allowing users to write comfortably for longer periods. With regular use, the Grotto Grip trains the hand to form a proper grasp, leading to improved control and handwriting.
What sets the Grotto Grip apart from other ergonomic pencil grips is its ability to activate the muscles in the palm, encouraging dynamic finger movements instead of relying on static whole-arm movements. This dynamic motion helps increase writing speed and precision. The Grotto Grip's optimal firmness provides the right level of feedback to the fingers, supporting the proper grasp while preventing the reinforcement of bad habits. Designed to hold the wrist in an extended, correct position, this grip ensures the hand is properly aligned for more efficient writing. Available in packs of 3 or 12, the Grotto Grip comes in assorted colors, making it a practical and fun tool for both children and adults, especially in educational and therapeutic settings.
