These bright Montessori Tri-Grip Tongs are a purposeful fine motor and pre-writing material for children preparing to hold a pencil and write. Unlike ordinary tongs, each tong has three ergonomic prongs that naturally guide the child’s thumb, index finger, and middle finger into the correct tripod pencil grip.
By squeezing the tongs to pick up, sort, and transfer small objects, children strengthen the small muscles of the hand while developing the coordination, control, and concentration needed for writing with a pencil or pen. This enjoyable Montessori practical life activity makes preparation for writing feel like play.
