ARK Twin Tags Chewelry
€22.95*
The Twin pendant from ARK is the thinnest pendant (0.76 cm thick).
The pendant is smooth on both sides and is well suited for those who prefer to chew with the premolars and/or front teeth (for slimmer versions that reach the back molars, see ARK's Krypto-Bite, Brick Stick or Bite Saber).Ideal for improving concentration during certain activities such as homework. For sensory oral motor skills and/or as a safe alternative to chewing/biting on fingers, knuckles, shirts, pencils etc.The Twin pendants are available in 3 color-coded toughness levels: Standard / soft - This is the softest level recommended for light chewing. XT / medium - This is the medium level recommended for moderate chewing.XXT / hard - This is the hardest level, recommended for heavy chewing. Recommended from 5 years. The tags consist of 2 chewable “tags” and are sold with a breakaway necklace. The necklace measures approx. 96 cm in length and can be individually shortened. Please note: Due to its thinner shape, this is not the most durable chew necklace for heavy chewers. Not recommended for aggressive chewers. For most people, ARK's Dino-Bite is the longest lasting collar. Each pendant is medical grade, FDA compliant and contains NO lead, phthalates, PVC, BPA or latex.Each pendant is approximately 2.5cm wide, 5cm high and 0.76cm thick. Highly recommended for people with autism, sensory disorders, anxiety, ADHD, etc. or for people of any age who need to chew. Attention! This product is not a toy.

Although these chewing tools are robust and durable, no chewing tool is indestructible. Due to their intended use, wear and tear is to be expected. How long they last usually depends on the amount and intensity of chewing as well as other variables (such as jaw strength, stress and anxiety levels, whether other sensory strategies are used, etc.). While for some people a chewing tool lasts forever, for others with severe/aggressive oral needs it can be used up very quickly. Please supervise the chew at all times and replace it if necessary when it shows signs of wear. The longest lasting chew ever is the Y-Chew XXT from ARK.

ARK's Baby Grabber®
€12.95*
ARK's Baby Grabber® (Textured) is just like the Baby Grabber but with added bumps and nubs for extra sensory input. Each Baby Grabber is designed to calm and soothe infants, who are in the early stages of development. At approximately 5-6 months, babies start mouthing and chewing in order to strengthen their mouth muscles and exercise their lips, tongue, and jaw. This oral exploration prepares them to eat solid foods and to make speech sounds later on. The Baby Grabber® provides a safe outlet for babies to develop these skills. It can also assist in self-organization, in the transition from puréed to textured foods, and in soothing sore gums. The Baby Grabber is smooth on one half and textured on the other half for varying sensory input and tactile stimulation to the gums and mouth. For orally sensitive little ones - start by presenting the smooth half and eventually progress to the textured half.
Measures approximately 11,2cm in length and just under 6,4cm inches across the loop. The light blue, yellow, and pink Baby Grabbers are soft and chewy. The turquoise Baby Grabber is firmer yet still chewy and pliable. Teething babies may prefer the firmer option, as it provides added resistance and input to the gums. Baby Grabbers are recommended for children up to the age of 2 and a half years. After that, children should graduate to the regular Grabber or Y-Chew.Exact color hues may vary slightly. Medical grade, FDA compliant, NO lead, phthalates, PVC, BPA, or latex.All ARK products are dishwasher safe, can be boiled, cleaned in aldehyde-free disinfectant, or simply washed with mild soap.CAUTION: Although these chew tools are sturdy and durable, no chew tool is indestructible. Some individuals (particularly those with heavy oral needs and aggressive biting/chewing) may be able to damage the tools. Please supervise at all times and replace if necessary, when the item shows signs of wear and tear. Not for aggressive chewing.

ARK's Baby Guitar is a fun and functional way for babies and toddlers to mouth, chew, and sooth sore gums.The charming guitar shape is easy for little hands to hold, with a stem to reach the back molar area. The bumps and ridges on the stem resemble the strings/knobs of a real guitar, while also providing extra sensory input.
ARK's Baby Guitar is just like the regular Guitar, only a tad smaller, with a shorter stem for smaller mouths. The baby guitars can also be precooled in the refrigerator. Please do not put in the freezer, that can lead to frostbite! Soft & chewy Measures about 10cm long, 6,3cm wide, and 1cm thick. The stem is just over 2,5cm long. Wash with mild soap and water. Top-rack dishwasher safe. Recommended for ages approximately 5-6 months - 3 years. Children over 3 years can graduate to ARK's Grabber and/or Y-Chew.

ARK's Baby Tetra-Bite®
From
€13.95*
ARK's Baby Tetra-Bite® is designed to calm and soothe infants who are in the early stages of development.At approximately 5-6 months of age, babies start mouthing and chewing in order to strengthen their mouth muscles and exercise their lips, tongue, and jaw. This oral exploration prepares them to eat solid foods and to make speech sounds later on. The Baby Tetra-Bite™ provides a safe outlet for babies to develop these skills.Babies can mouth and explore 4 different "arms" - each with a different texture for lots of varied sensory input. The two rectangular arms have ribs: one with horizontal ribs that wrap around the extension, and one with long ribs that run the length of the extension. The two rectangular arms have bumps: one with mild round bumps, and one with zigzag bumps that provide more input. With all these different shapes and textures, the Tetra-Bite® helps introduce babies to new sensations orally, which helps prepare them for solid foods later on and also helps decrease and/or prevent oral sensitivities. The Baby Tetra-Bite® measures just under 12,7cm across. Each extension measures just over 2,5cm long and about 1cm thick - perfect for reaching the back molars where we need to chew the most.The yellow, blue and magenta Baby Tetra-Bites are soft and chewy. The turquoise, pink and teal Baby Tetra-Bite is firmer yet still chewy and pliable. Teething babies may prefer the firmer option, as it provides added resistance and input to the gums.Baby Tetra-Bites are recommended for children up to the age of 2 and a half years. After that, children should graduate to the regular Tetra-Bites, Grabbers or Y-Chews. Made in the USA by ARK Therapeutic.

It can also be done with the firmer XXT level but is more challenging!).At 8,9cm wide and 0,75cm thick, it's one of the thinnest handheld chews.
Use this oral sensory solution as a safe alternative to chewing on pencils, shirts, fingers, etc. and to help calm, focus, and self-regulate.Like all other ARK chews it comes in 3 color-coded toughness levels:Standard - This is the softest level, recommended for mild chewers (those who do not chew through anything).XT / Medium Firm - This is the middle level, which we call XT ("Xtra Tough"). It's firmer, but still fairly chewy, recommended for moderate chewers.XXT / Very Firm - This is the toughest level, which we call XXT ("Xtra Xtra Tough"). This is the toughest level.Please note: Because of how thin this chew is, even the XXT level may not be a long lasting option for moderate to avid chewing. For more robust chews, check out the MEGA Brick Stick.Medical grade, FDA compliant, NO lead, phthalates, PVC, BPA, or latex.

While for some people a chew tool will last forever, for others with heavy/aggressive oral needs, they may go through it very quickly.

ARK's Bite Tube
€13.45*
ARK's Bite Tube is a hollow chew tool with a different diameter on each end.Use it as a safe alternative for anyone who needs to chew. They can also be used as an oral motor tool to work on jaw strength and stability. The tube-like extension is perfect for individuals who want their chew tool to "collapse" more, whether as a sensory chew and/or in feeding therapy. As an oral motor tool, use it to practice biting/chewing skills without the risk of choking, to build jaw strength and stability, and to exercise the mouth muscles.Put puréed foods inside the tube for functional biting/chewing practice - when the individual bites down, they will be rewarded with a taste of food. The two different diameters allow you to work on varying jaw heights. Because the hollow tube provides less resistance than solid chews like the normal Grabber, this is a great "starter" chew tool for individuals with very limited jaw strength.Each chew measures about 12,7cm long overall, 1,3cm in diameter on one end, and 1cm in diameter on the other end. It is hollow all the way through the core.
Like all ARK chews, the Bite Tube is available in 3 color-coded toughness levels:Standard - This is the softest level, recommended for mild chewers (those who do not chew through anything) and/or those with limited jaw strength XT / Medium Firm - This is the middle level, which we call XT ("Xtra Tough"). It's firmer, but still fairly chewy, recommended for moderate chewers XXT / Very Firm - This is the toughest level, which we call XXT ("Xtra Xtra Tough"). It still has some “chewability” to it, but it’s fairly pretty firm (although not as firm/tough as our solid chews).Note: if you are looking for a long lasting chew tool for avid chewing, we recommend solid chews over hollow chews. Check out the Tetra-Bite for example.Medical grade, FDA compliant, NO lead, phthalates, PVC, BPA, or latex. Each Bite Tube is sold individually - choose which option you'd like from the pull-down menu above.Exact color hues may vary slightly.All ARK products are dishwasher safe, can be boiled, cleaned in aldehyde-free disinfectant, or simply washed with mild soap.CAUTION: This product is not a toy.

ARK's Button Tips
€12.95*

Speech therapists have been doing a "button pull" lip closure activity with their clients since the 1970s by tying string through buttons. ARK's Button Tip set offers a safer, professional upgrade of that classic oral motor exercise - no more small parts or thin string to worry about! The Button Tips are sold in a set of 2 yellow tips (the smallest sizes) OR a set of 2 teal ones (the largest sizes). The yellow buttons are 1,26cm and 1,52cm in diameter (labeled 1 and 2, respectively). The teal buttons are 1,78cm and 2cm in diameter (labeled 3 and 4, respectively).How to use the Button Tips: Starting with the largest button that comfortably fits in the individual's mouth, place the "button" inside the lips (in front of the teeth). Have the individual close their lips around the button while you pull and do a gentle "tug and pull" motion for resistance.
