I picked mine up at Radio Shack, but the App Crayon website states that they are also available at Target, Walgreens and Bed Bath and Beyond. The web site also offers a "classroom 6-pack". I'm waiting for a price quote but I paid 10 bucks for a single stylus. I eagerly paid that price since I had previously paid $22.00 for a chunky (but heavy!), stylus for my K's to use with our iPads.
What makes this stylus just PERFECT in my opinion is that it is light weight, AND it had a training grip which encourages a tripod grip. I love it!
Now, here's the bonus... A FREE app is available for your students to practice writing their Capital Letters as well as their Lowercase Letters. Our school just adopted the Handwriting Without Tears handwriting program. While they have an app for Capital Letter practice, we are still waiting for them to release the App for lowercase letter practice. The App Crayon practice is similar enough to the HWT program, so I WILL be using it with my students while I wait for the HWT lowercase App to make its appearance.
