What our OT says:
We often recommend pin crayons for several reasons, especially for developing fine motor skills and promote a mature pencil grasp. Here’s why these magical crayons are favoured by OT's:
- Tripod Grasp Development: Pin crayons, especially encourages the tripod pencil grasp, due to their specific design. The tripod grasp involves using the tips of the thumb, index, and middle finger to hold and control the utensil. This grasp is recognised as the best grip for efficient writing.
-
Efficient Manipulation: Smaller crayons allow children to manipulate the pencil more easily. They discourage using too many fingers, pressing too hard, or scribbling outside the lines.
-
Strength Building: Pin crayons help build strength in the small muscles of the hand. Children can use them in various activities, similar to whole crayons.
