And if you’re struggling with staying focused because of ADD or ADHD, it can be especially tough to want to hang onto the pencil and keep working on projects or assignments. That’s why Special Supplies Squishy Pencil Grips help those who need a little extra support when they’re writing, drawing, or simply being creative. Our soft and flexible pencil and pen grips slide onto the “barrel” of your writing instrument to give you a better grip but also to gently stimulate your fingers and hands as you’re working.
