Pencil Grip

This is a pencil grip that aims to make it easier for disabled children with motor problems to write. The hexagon piece will go on a pencil. Pencil grips make it easier to hold and write with a pencil. It has a hole on the side to attach the second piece. The second piece (a small cylinder) is a small object that someone can hold in their palm. Holding an object like this can make it easier and more comfortable to write. It also helps people to develop a proper tripod grip.
