Silicone Weighted Pencil Grip
Sometimes a little extra weight in the hand makes all the difference. This soft silicone pencil weight slides onto an ordinary pencil, pen, crayon or paintbrush. It adds a gentle, steady heaviness that helps the hand feel what it’s doing as it writes and draws. There’s nothing to assemble and no special pencil to buy. You simply slide it on, move it to where it feels right, and begin.
The weight can sit anywhere along the shaft. Near the back, it changes the balance of the pencil. Closer to the tip, it doubles as a chunky, comfortable grip for the fingers to rest on. It fits writing tools from 7 to 14 mm in diameter, so it can move from school pencils to fat crayons to a favourite gel pen as your child’s needs and tools change.
Made from soft, durable silicone with smooth rounded edges, it’s gentle on hands and won’t damage pens. It’s a small, practical tool that earns its place in a pencil case, a homework station or a therapy kit. It’s useful for children and adults alike, and it lasts long enough to pass on.

What the OT Says.
As an occupational therapist, one thing I see often is children who struggle to feel where their pencil is and how hard they’re pressing. Some press so hard the paper tears, and others barely make a mark. Writing depends on proprioception, the body’s internal sense of position and force, and a pencil weighs very little. Adding a modest 28.5 g gives the muscles and joints of the hand and wrist more feedback to work with. For some children, that extra input helps them grade their pressure and keep a steadier line.
The adjustable position is what I like most about this design. Slid towards the back, the weight shifts the pencil’s balance into the web space of the hand, which can encourage a more relaxed, settled hold. Slid forward, it becomes a thicker grip. A wider surface can make it easier for small or tired fingers to find a stable tripod or quadrupod grasp, and it gives you a simple cue for where the fingers should rest. Because you can move it, you can experiment and watch what works for your child rather than relying on a fixed solution.
Depending on how it’s used, a pencil weight can support fine motor control, hand-eye coordination, pencil pressure, grasp stability, and sustained attention to a writing or drawing task. Some children who seek out extra sensory input also find the added heaviness calming and organising.
Some adults and older users with less steady hands find it more comfortable as well. That said, weight isn’t right for every child. Some find it tiring or distracting, so I always recommend short trials and paying attention to how your child responds.
This is a simple, affordable tool I’m happy to recommend for home homework stations, classrooms and OT clinic kits. If you have concerns about your child’s handwriting or grasp, it’s always worth chatting to an occupational therapist for individual guidance.
Let customers speak for us
The service was absolutely incredible. Fast friendly and so helpful. My sons gift was wrapped beautifully
Thank you so much for the wonderful service and quality gift.
My son absolutely loves these balls to use on his playdough (he's 3). The fact that they stick together but you can also pull them apart is what really gets his attention.
Brilliant experience, fantastic price and by far my child's most favourite toy!
Thank you!
Thank you for all the free recourses. 💚
I bought this for my son as a level up from stacking cups. The cars add a fun element and I love that he can play with them on the train track too!
My 20 month old loves this shape sorter! It’s stimulating and looks great on his toy shelf.
I bought this ice cream counter for my granddaughter's 2nd birthday. She and her 5 year old sister absolutely LOVE playing with this. Their mother's reaction was 'WHAT a hit!' The younger one loves to stack and place, the colourful and sturdy pieces, in out of the slots of the counter and this will develop into proper pretend play as she gets older. I can see both girls playing with their ice cream counter for years to come as it will have a long shelf life due to both the quality of the parts and the play interest for a broad age group of children.
Innovative and a GREAT idea to level up the bath toy game!
I bought this outdoor easel for my son, and it has been an amazing addition to our garden playtime. The quality is excellent, and it's sturdy enough to withstand active play outdoors. My son loves spending hours drawing, painting, and using his imagination.
The easel was easy to assemble and has plenty of space for creative activities. It's also easy to clean, which is a huge bonus for messy art projects! I love that it encourages creativity, keeps him entertained, and gives him a fun way to enjoy the outdoors.
I highly recommend this outdoor easel to any parent looking for a durable, fun, and educational gift for their child.
I love using this in speech therapy as an incentive. The children find it very exciting to lift the discs off the table with the wand. Strong magnet.
I will order from Tiny tree toys again, their service was very professional and friendly.
A really lovely cuddly bedtime cloth - my grandson loves it :-) Good tactile features included that engage baby's senses and provide comfort.
All three of my girls are loving this simple addition to the outside play area. Seems quite strong as I absolutely launch them. Love the fact that the height is adjustable. Great product - Happy.
We absolutely loved the gorgeous gift that we received of the cutest black & white flower bouquet with Afr & Eng gift tags for Mother's Day of 2026!
It was simply lovely and só spot on!
Thank you Tiny Tree Toys! ⚘️
I absolutely love this puzzle, and have purched multiple ones as gifts. It is well crafted, and the wood is neatly rounded off. I'll be honest I've never played the game guidlines included, and rather use it as a catalyst in my creative processes. I love the fact that there are no rules to this, and the opportunity to use it as an expressive tool. My tiny human loves it too, and can play endlessly with captivated imagination.
