Where to find short pencils like at library and Ikea?

[jess_g]

My ds has trouble holding his pencil up and I was told by his teacher that those short pencils they have at the library or Ikea would be great for him. The trouble is I don't know where they sell them. Any ideas? I looked at Staples the other day but they did not have them.

Thanks,

Jesscia.

It looks like Office Depot sells them.

I also have seen refillable pencils that size recently. Several of my students use them.

I think they are considered golf pencils - try office depot? or a golf store?!

Maybe try a teacher supply store? I used to buy a box of them when I taught middle school to give out when kids forgot their pencils.

You can just cut regular pencils in half and then put a cap eraser on one end.

Handwriting without tears has them and the little "flip crayons" that help with proper grasp as well:
