There is a curriculum product called "Handwriting Without Fear" that is very helpful. They recommend having children write and draw with broken crayons (the small, thin kind, not the thick kind supposedly designed for small hands). You'll see that children can then use the crayons only if they pinch/hold them in the correct way.
