Not until your kid is about 3.5
years old, he could not hold a pen or pencil from cartoon
school supplies in his fist perfectly. However, there is something that
you could do for help. In these three years, you can offer your child exercises
that will help him to hold a pen correctly later, for example, pinch items and
move fingers. You could make it funny as playing games with your child, and
child love all kinds of games, which could be funny and stimulate him to pick
up small objects with two fingers, and drop them in the bucket without mistakes.
You could also let him draw with crayons from korean
pencil case, which has a length of 6-7 cm. It seems to be quite easy to
hold the crayons or other pens in your hand, but your kids would need to try
their best, since they couldn’t pull it off as easily as we do. And sometimes
they will need to keep the pens with their fingers, which is gonna be really a
hard work for them.
And let me show you how to hold
the novelty
ink pens perfectly in the hand, so that you could teach your kid with
the right way. The handle should be on the left side of the
middle finger. The index finger holds the handle on top, large support handle
to the left. All three fingers slightly are rounded and don't squeeze the
handle too tightly. The index finger may easily rise, and the handle should not
fall. Ring finger and little finger can be inside palms or freely lying at the
base of the thumb. During the writing hand rests on the top joint of little
finger bent inward.
