It's easy to teach children to write

[Vladimir Karpychev]

Hello everybody!
I am a new guy here and I have no idea who can help me with my question. I will be glad to receive your advices and suggestions. By the way, I'm sorry for my english - I am ukrainian (I live in Ukraine).
I have invented, patented and tested an educational device for children. It’s a device for teaching children how to grip a pen properly while writing. It is a nozzle on a pen, which is performed as a fish-toy. This device is made of elastic material (plastisole), that’s why it is comfortable for children’s fingers.
I’ve applied a new conception of creating ergonomic educational devices. Its shape is arranged so, that it provides with comfort only in correct position. That’s why it helps to learn good skills very quickly (1-2 weeks) and further user will be able to use a pen without this device. It also defends children’s wrist and prevents a Carpal Tunnel Syndrome appearance. Also this device will be useful for people with wrist limits.
This device has been patented in National Patent Department and I also have a priority for patenting in other countries.
I also have other devices from this line:
1. Device for teaching children how to grip a spoon properly. It is performed as a bear-toy.
2. Device for teaching children and adults how to grip Chinese sticks properly. It is performed as a snake-toy.
3. Computer bracelet (of plastisole), which is used during a work on a keyboard and with a mouse. It protects an operator’s wrist. Bracelet looks as a decoration and it has prospects of becoming a youth buzzword.
You can see my devices here:

It is very important for me to receive responses from people who know a lot in the sphere of children's teaching. I will consider all advices and suggestions as well as criticism.

Thank you,

I am a Kindergarten teacher and I think the items you have developed would be wonderful for children to use when they first begin writing. As a teacher, I often see them holding their pencil in an incorrect manner and it can be hard to get them to hold it correctly if they have gotten use to holding the pencil a certain way. Good luck and I hope to see your products in stores here in the United States.

I'd also love to have some of the fish on hand so that each year I encounter those students with problems, I can add the fish to their pencil. Let us know where we can get them.

Dear Vladimir,
My 7 year old daughter battles to hold a pen correctly - we have tried all of the existing tools to assist - even sent her to an OT. Your fish device looks wonderful - where can we purchase on - we live in South Africa.
