We’ve got one leftie and one rightie in our house, and while the leftie’s a little too young to really tell, we have (so far at least) never discerned any major problem with comfortable writing and drawing pencils and pens. Maybe we’ve just been lucky but symmetrical ones have been working fine for our kids. That said, if a leftie is getting discouraged about drawing or writing because they don’t feel comfortable, then at an impressionable age when a little encouragement could go a long way, I can definitely see the point of investing in one of these even if the difference it makes is very subtle.It’s chunky and has a childish feel to it. We got a ‘pink/purple’ one and it’s relatively subdued in colour,to the extent that a boy might not (or shouldn’t) look at it and think “that’s a girly pen”- it’s fairly neutral-ish. Although it’s broad nibbed, if you keep it sharpened then it draws a fine yet bold pencil line that’s really quite satisfying. It does feel odd having a sharpener for something that doesn’t really feel like a pencil, it feels more like a kid’s pen, and it’s a shame that this sharpener is only for this pencil and vice versa as it means one extra thing you need to carry or keep track of.It’s very well suited to the hand size of a six-year-old and gets picked up very naturally, but a grown-up can use it without blinking too. The finger indentations are only very subtly shaped to the benefit of the left hand, and we gave it to our right-handed daughter to have a go with and she had no problems with it at all, so it’s certainly not a “left hand only” pencil.I do have my reservations about whether this is a slight case of overkill for a mechanical pencil that is only very slightly favoured towards left-handed people, and the cost and hassle of getting the specific HB refills seems like a long-term investment, but nevertheless this is a well-made pencil that could well provide some important encouragement for getting your left-handed child writing comfortably and confidently.

Having grown up as a left hander with the usual poor handwriting I was keen to try this pencil. It is supplied in cardboard and perspex packaging which is quite tricky to open and includes three white name stickers that are in the cardboard behind the pen. No refill leads are provided and these are available from Amazon separately at approximately £3.50 for six.It is well made with a combination of smooth and rubberised plastic and is supplied with a separate sharpener. This is the main flaw as I can see this easily getting lost and I do not think it would be too difficult to design one that clipped on the top. Maybe it is a ruse to sell the STABILO EASYsharpner or perhaps I am being too cynical.The leads are easy to replace, you unscrew the pencil and drop the new lead down the tube that is revealed.So far then it is expensive, has a sharpener that is easily lost and is supplied without refills but there are some up sides. Growing up I have seen left handers hold pens and pencils in all sorts of different ways. This pencil encourages the correct posture, with the ideal tripod grip. You can get grips for pencils that also helps but these tend to be too thick. In use, the pencil is light and comfortable with the shaping encouraging the correct grip. The thick lead is much less prone to breaking and stays sharp longer than normal lasting a long time.This is an expensive solution but one worth considering. Neat hand writing is a skill for life and one I do not believe there is enough emphasis on. Some children may not need it but if you are concerned with your child's writing or the way they hold a pencil this may help correct it.

This chunky style mechanical pencil is part of STABILO's handedness range designed to best support proper grip whatever your hand dominance. Research has shown proper grip is necessary for the best cognitive and skeletal development but many adults (including my husband) had a horrible embarrassing experiences in school with techniques to improve grip ranging from at worst public humiliation by the teacher to at best those triangles that screamed 'I can't hold my pencil properly' via rubber bands on the hands. STABILO's range looks to support best grip without making it a stigma.This lefty mechanical pencil is best for those who struggle with the shaved grooves on regular pencils but feel comfortable with the moulded pen grip.This pencil has a handle exactly like the pens and uses the mechanical pencil method to add more lead as required. The chunky lead means it can withstand the heavier pressure often associated with poor grip but this requires sharpening so a lefty sharpener is included making it easier to use.My dad is a left and thought it brilliant, my young daughter is ambidextrous but struggles with grip as she is very small for her age so everything is complicated to hold this is easier to hold in her left and right (I can attest I can use this with either comfortably) and is hard to hold in anything other than a tripod grip which is great!I love this range and will collect other pieces to help support grip and handedness for all the family!

STABILO EASYergo Mechanical Pencil for Right Handed with Sharpener, 3.15 mm - Orange/RedThis mechanical pencil is aimed at learner writers, with its broad barrel, finger guides and fat lead that resists snapping. However, for learner writers, you may as well give your kids pencils.=== THINGS I LIKE ABOUT THIS PRODUCT ===* Nice fat lead - 3.15mm - which makes it easier for learner writers to produce a nice line without snapping off the thinner leads that come with regular mechanical pencils (my mechanical pencil takes leads that are 0.5 and 0.7mm thick)* Plastic barrel which has 3 dimples in the writing area to guide where learning writers should hold the pen by providing instant feedback* Comes with a special tiny sharpener to sharpen the fat lead - the HB lead blunts easily,especially if the learner writer presses heavily (as many do when starting out with writing) and needs regular sharpening* Bright colouring, and the pen comes in a variety of different colourways to appeal to learner writers* Designed for right-handed learner writers=== NIGGLES ===* The packaging is tricky to get into, involving ripping open the cardboard* It's easy to miss the 3 little white name stickers that are stuck in the cardboard behind the pen* There is no spare lead provided* I couldn't work out how to use the sharpener* Seems an expensive alternative to an ordinary pencil, with the pencil and a pack of 6 replacement leads (

I don't know why this is called a left handed pencil because it is very comfortable to write with the right and left hands. The shape is almost triangular with a flat part on the back which rests comfortably on your finger when writing. even though it is a pencil it flows very easily and is a nice thickness, it rubs out easily and I love the sharpener although it feels a bit weird sharpening what looks like an ink pen. The top of the pencil screws off to reveal a tube containing the 'lead' (This one is 3.15 looks thick but doesn't write too thick ) You can sharpen it to a finer point. You press the tip of the pen to push the 'lead' further out. Amazon sell twin pack refills containing 12 leads for around £4.36 (At the time of writing)So refilling the pencil is better than buying 'normal' pencils that break when you try to sharpen them.I really like this pencil for its writing and comfort and the ease of sharpening. My granddaughter loves the pink colour and its easy to find in a cluttered handbag so I will be purchasing the refills and make this my 'go to' pencil from now on.

I got this for my nearly-8-year-old, left-handed son and so far he loves it - despite it being 'pink'. As a left-hander, he enjoys getting his own special things, in this case the grip is moulded to accept the fingers of the left hand and there is a lead sharpener that has the bladed mounted for left-handers.The pencil is quite large, for a child, and fits comfortably in his hand. He has used it, so far, for drawing and lettering his own comics. It is truly a mechanical pencil, in that it propels the lead forward, rather than being a simple clutch.No spare leads are included but are readily available.The sharpener gets the lead to a very sharp point, so might not be suitable for the very young.As mentioned before, the lead turns in the opposite direction to sharpen - something that will confuse righties.The build quality is good and it feels like a quality pencil.

My son is in reception, he never got a preferable hand to write, however, due to this lockdown I saw he kept on using left (the teachers were surprised since he used to use right hand) but at home only left.He had clumsy writing, did too much pressure on it, and kept on lifting up the hand to see where was the letters.With this one, the wide tip makes it easier for him to see so no more unnecessary pressure or lifting to see where the letters are. Since it is "bulky" compared to others, he has a better grip which doesn't make him so tired.The sharpener is a plus, it is still wide enough for him to see.Since he has been using it, he has better control,doesn't get too frustrated and enjoys writing.I'd recommend this to whoever has a child left handed or left handed people out there.It is a really good pencil.

This pencil has been a game changer! My five year old daughter is left handed and has been having issues with seeing the words as she writes due to her hand covering them! As she is the only left handed writer in the family I didn’t realise some of the left handed challenges. Positioning the paper on a slant was helping to see the words but I don’t want her handwriting to suffer and I certainly don’t want her to struggle needlessly with her writing. This pencil was worth a try and am I glad I bought it! The improvement in handwriting since using this pencil has been fantastic, it is designed for comfort and the positioning of the hand when holding it has been well thought out.The pencil glides across the paper leaving nice looking writing behind! I’d definitely recommend this pencil for all left handed children.

This pen and pencil set is essential if you would like your child to hold a pen or a pencil in a couth, civilised manner. It is very comfortable to hold and the fingers and thumbs gently and easily assume the right position to hold a pen or pencil - or a paintbrush, for that matter. Having achieved this, children will find how more flexible it is to write, draw and paint. The writing hand adopts a position that most had some thirty years ago before teachers and parents did not bother to help children to hold pencils, crayons and pens. Hence it looks as if people holding their pens in somewhat ugly, cramped hands will forever blight our civilsation.Schools should insist that pupils come equipped with this pen despite the cockeyed way they themselves probably write.

This pencil was highlighted t us by our schools SENCO. The grip specifically encourages the correct hold which in turn is producing more controlled handwriting results. Our daughter was about 12 months behind on the neatness and size of her writing. Whilst this isn't a problem, even at 6 it makes a big difference to your self esteem.Don't get me wrong, it's not like a pencil simply fixes everything overnight, but we have seem change improvements in quality and spideryness over a few months that appear to coming quicker than of recent time.One point to mention is to give it time. Our daughter took a few weeks to adjust to the pencil and for her fine motor muscles to adjust. She hated it (and us)but sticking with it is really working.

This is a slightly odd idea, a mechanical pencil that can be sharpened. I am used to loading leads into such items. Unscrew the orange and red body of this to reload, and each time they need it, push down with the lever to let the lead down. I have watched six and seven year old grandchildren enjoying using these ergonomic, especially designed for young hands, pens and pencils.I am so glad that at last, attention has been paid to the way children learn to write, offering them a set of implements that are not the usual adult size. This gets rid of the awkwardness often experienced when first working at penmanship.

I bought this pencil for my 5 year old who was struggling with pencil grip, and her teacher had commented that it was soon going to hold her back because the way she was holding her pen was going to start hurting her when she was writing for longer durations. When my daughter picked this pencil up, she found the grooves easy to fit her fingers to and adapt to writing in this new way. I noticed soon after she started using it that it was helping her grip on other pens and pencils too - I am thrilled! The lead in the pencil is chunky and hard to break, she doesn't fiddle with the retractable aspect of it either.

I mastered the art of writing some time ago. However, I really like writing with pencils and have to date been chopping and changing with Papermate and other varieties.So this Ergo pencil especially for left handed was a pleasant surprise and a pleasure to use.Really comfortable and despite the very thick lead (I guess for junior hands applying greater pressure) it gives a good writing style and visual appearance. I only marked it down because it just looks a bit clunky. A bit mean because I am not the target audience. But the colours - could there be some variations ???

STABILO EASYergo Mechanical Pencil for left hand writers is a very comfortable to hold and neat writing implement. The actual pencil has a sharpener enclosed which fits only the pencil lead. I love this brand of pencils as they are comfortable to hold even over a long period of time eg. exams.This brand of pencils work well and write well and with the added bonus very comfortable to hold as the pencil sits neatly in my hand and my fingers sit neatly in the grooves which are angled perfect for a left handed writer like myself.Happy to recommend.

My 7 year old son had been really struggling with writing and tears would roll off his face everything we tried to get him to write more than 2 sentences. After getting this pencil, he now says he looks forward to doing handwriting and said that I will see a huge difference in his handwriting from the beginning of term, when he would try to not write anything. His teachers have also commented on the pencil and pen (we also got the pen) being a success and other kids are also enjoying trying it out. It has been a complete game changer for us!
