Introducing our

“Little Lefty Set”

This is a ‘starter pack’ for left-handed children (from ±3 to ±8 years old). It contains all the essential items a young left-handed child needs to have a happier and more productive time at school.

(See below for feedback and comments from parents who purchased a “Little Lefty Set” for their little one.)

It consists of:

· A small pair of genuine LEFT-handed scissors. The perfect size for little hands and the ends of the blades are rounded for safety.

· A 17cm (6”) left-handed ruler. The zero is on the right hand side. This makes measuring tasks much easier for left-handers because their hand does not cover up the measurements. (See below for more info.)

· An ergonomically moulded pencil grip. This greatly assists a young left-hander to develop the correct tripod grip for holding a pen or pencil.

· A left-handed precision made 2-hole container pencil sharpener. (See below for more info.)

· A Handwriting Booklet with special tips and guidelines. This will make you much more aware of the specific challenges left-handed children face when it comes to handwriting and will help you to ensure that these are not a problem for your little lefty.

· 5 fun cutting out and colouring in activities with helpful instructions about how to instruct your child to cut out as a left-hander. These activities will help your child develop scissor technique without even noticing it and will assist in the development of hand-eye co-ordination, motor skills and scissor control.

· An ambidextrous pencil and eraser make the set complete.

· A sturdy pencil case with a Velcro closure in hardwearing, washable charcoal vinyl keeps it all neatly together.

· And we can personalize the label of the pencil case for you free of charge, if you tell us the name of your left-handed child when you place your order. (By the way, our little customers get enormous pleasure when an envelope arrives in their post box actually addressed to them and when they open it, they find their Little Lefty Set with their name on it!! Please let us help you give your child this happiness and wonderful affirmation of how special they are!

Left-handed rulers

are scaled from right to left. This is the direction lefties draw a line to avoid the nib snagging on the paper. The right to left scale ensures that the left hand doesn’t get in the way of seeing the scale when measuring. So simple - yet it really does make all those measuring tasks so much easier for left-handers!

Our left-handed 2-hole container pencil sharpener

is the ideal size for school. It sharpens both standard and large size pencils. The pencil is held in the left hand and is turned away from you anti-clockwise, the most comfortable turning motion for a left-hander.

Ergonomically moulded pencil grip

This is a very valuable aid for promoting the correct holding of a pencil because it encourages the tripod grip. It also reduces stress on the fingers and writer’s cramp. Designed by doctors, it works with the body’s natural physiology to gently place the fingers in the proper position for gripping. This pencil grip will help any young child develop a good grip of the writing instrument.

There is both an ‘L’ marking and an ‘R’ marking on the pencil grip. Left-handers put their thumb on the ‘L’ and the forefinger and middle fingers fit comfortably into the remaining indentations to form the tripod grip all set for writing! Similarly right-handers put their thumb on the ’R’ and they are all set for writing. I have used this with very young lefties and righties to good effect in my teaching. It helps young children stop pressing too hard and it really does work!

Young and old can use this marvellous invention to write more easily, more comfortably, without fatigue and without pain. It is great for exams and a godsend for those with arthritis in their fingers.

It can be used on pens, pencils, felt tips, paint brushes and the thinner craft knives for a secure grip.

It is suitable for both left-handers and right-handers!

One ergonomically moulded pencil grip is included in the Little Lefty Set. Additional grips can be purchased separately using Code LNZ31 and they are available in red, green or pink.

Code: LNZ31 Price: $4.80 each

“Arrived today. My 4yr old was delighted - wants to cut everything he sees! Very nice pencil case and equipment. Thanks for that. Very hard for left-handers in right-handed world. This is a treat for my son. Thanks so much!”

“The left handed pencil sharpener and scissors are a great hit! Only one picture (from the cutting out activity sheets included in the Little Lefty Set) cut out so far, but many other things cut out. At last she is a natural at it.”

“Excellent communication. My son is over the moon with his "lefty pack"- absolutely recommend this product to others!!!! A++++++ In the words of my 7 year old son...."YOU ROCK" :D “

“Dan’s Little Lefty Set arrived today. Loves the fact she got her very own mail! Loved the lollies! She is now eagerly colouring in the funny faces. Cheers and thanks very much.”

“Yvette loves her pack. She's always playing with it, can't get enough of it. It's taken her a little while to get used to using her scissors left-handed but I think she's getting the hang of it now. I love how sturdy and strong the pencil case is, plus it's easy for her to open. Thanks for the exercises. She loves the cutting out practice. I'm very pleased with all of it and especially appreciate all the info you placed in there. Thank-you! It's great and something Yvette can use for years.”

Olivia loves her kit, and new workbook.... (Olivia’s Mum is referring to our “Write-on Wipe-off Workbook.” For more information about this resource please click here ) ….She is right into it and cried last night when we had to stop working on it so that I could make dinner! Cute. Thank you again.

Thanks so much for the order. Samara loves her pencil case full of goodies. All the little characteristics that you describe in the leaflets I now can see in Samara and even just tilting the paper has made it easier for her.

The "Little lefty set" arrived in the post last week and Olivia (a different Olivia from the Olivia above in case you were wondering!!) thinks it's "the bees knees". She took it to school and had a "morning talk" about it all. Good advertising for you as she has a few friends that are lefties and I am passing on your details to them. Once again thank you from a very pleased mother and a little girl who doesn't need to struggle anymore with everyday tasks at school.
