Put the bracelet on with the clip on top of the wrist. Put the clip on the first and last band to join them. Make a one layer loom bracelet the right size for the child. My son now has a helpful gripper anywhere he goes and a stylish one too! No twisting needed like with a regular rubber band. Not only was it exactly the right size, he could easily stick the pencil or any other writing tool back in next time he needs to. I put the bracelet on him and put the pencil in the last bracelet rubber band and then had him try it out. My son loves making rainbow loom bracelets, and had a bunch of them on the desk. He also had trouble setting the rubber band up himself when he lost grip. I tried this with my son and while it helped with grip it was very uncomfortable. I have been trying to find ways to help him with this and other skills and this morning I saw a picture of a child holding a pencil with a rubber band twisted on it and attached to the child’s wrist. Now that he’s home for the summer mommy day camp has begun. Gripping small items, tying shoe laces, and other tasks that require fine motor skills have always been an issue for him.
