Soft Lead Pencil
Does your child bear down so hard on their pencil that they engrave the table top? Do they grip the pencil so tightly their knuckles turn white? Give them a soft-lead pencil -- the pencil marking goes easily on the paper and the child naturally lightens their grip. An easy solution!
Some children grip tightly and bear down on the pencil because they want and need to see a dark line on their paper. This tight grip becomes a habit. With a soft-lead pencil, minimum pressure is exerted to produce darker lines on the paper.

This standard-size pencil, made by Faber-Castell, is dark blue and gold. We like to combine it with The Pencil Grip, which helps the child maintain the correct pencil grip while they draw and write. With regular practice, the correct grip becomes the child's preferred grip. Learn more about the correct grip.
