Handwriting for Preschoolers

My two year old loves Mr. Pencil I found him at a Toys R Us outlet for $6. This is a fun interactive app that your child can use to work on shapes (pre-writing skill) and progress to letters and numbers. Although the pencil is not necessary for the app to work, we use it to work on pencil grip.

 

If your child is not comfortable using this large pencil or you would like to try a different program Handwriting Without Tears also offers an app.

If you cannot find Mr. Pencil maybe you can use icolor (easier to grip than Mr. Pencil) which I found at Pottery Barn Kids store, not available online ($12).
