DIY for less cost. Too heavy for kids. This was way too heavy for me 9-yr old. Save your money and just use a rubber band and some washers. That way you can adjust to the right weight.
The weights are easy to use My eight year old has dysgraphia, and I ordered these pencil weights on the advice of his occupational therapist. They are identical to the ones he uses in therapy, and they have very much helped improve the legibility of his writing at school and at home. The weights are easy to use; my son is able to put the weight and washers on at school by himself. Useful product for anyone who struggles with handwriting.
Noisy When Put Down On Table While these make very good pencil or pen weights for more mature students with sensory issues, I wish they had some sort of rubber or foam coating so they didn’t make such a highly audible thud every time a student puts one down. I had to take the weight back off the pencil because my student was enjoying the sensory input of using the weight as a repetitive percussion instrument.
