Therapeutic Benefits for Handwriting:

1. Fine Motor Strength & Dexterity
ย ย ย ย โ€ขย ย ย ย Inserting swords into the barrel requires hand and finger strength, similar to pencil grip.
ย ย ย ย โ€ขย ย ย ย Promotes graded pressure control, helping with appropriate pressure during writing.

2. Bilateral Coordination
ย ย ย ย โ€ขย ย ย ย Children must stabilize the barrel with one hand and insert the sword with the otherโ€”important for paper stabilization and writing at the same time.

3. Hand-Eye Coordination
ย ย ย ย โ€ขย ย ย ย Aiming and inserting the swords builds visual-motor integration, essential for legible handwriting.

4. Turn-Taking and Focus
ย ย ย ย โ€ขย ย ย ย Taking turns promotes attention, impulse control, and task persistence, supporting classroom behavior during writing tasks.
