These simple tips and activities can improve the way kids hold their pencils! ✏️

✍️ Draw, write, or color in prone position

✍️ Use shortened writing utensils like library or gold pencils

✍️ Break crayons into smaller pieces and use for coloring

✍️ Draw, write, or paint on a vertical surface

✍️ Work on core strength! Remember, proximal stability is the foundation for distal mobility.

✍️ Use colored tape to mark where kids should grasp their pencil

✍️ Try tucking a small object like a bead into the child’s 4th and 5th fingers while they grasp a pencil. This will promote the use of the “tripod fingers”.

Why are transitions so tough for kids?

It’s not just that they “don’t want to stop playing.” There are real developmental reasons behind those tricky moments between activities:

⏰ They don’t fully understand time
🧠 Executive functioning skills are still developing
💥 Emotional regulation can be hard, especially when they’re asked to stop something they love
❓Not knowing what’s next can feel overwhelming

If you’ve seen tears, refusals, or big feelings during transitions… you’re not alone. The struggle is real—and it’s valid.
