My daughter has a huge oral stimulation need and these do the trick. Nice and strong so she can really chomp on them.

Build your own chewing sampler pack, at a savings||| Select 4 chewable stimming / oral motor products from the pull-down menus above to create your own custom set of chewing tools, at a savings! The XT options are "Xtra Tough" for moderate chewers. The XXT options are even tougher ("Xtra Xtra Tough") - the longest lasting options for avid chewers. And the standard ones are soft and very chewy for mild chewers or for those with limited jaw strength.
The Y-Chews and Textured Grabbers provide added sensory input. The Baby Grabbers are recommended for babies and toddlers under 3 years. And the regular Grabbers and Y-Chews are recommended for 3 years and up.
Please note: the picture above features the Y-Chew in red, Grabber in royal blue, Textured Grabber in teal, and Y-Chew in orange. Which colors you actually receive will depend on which colors you select from the pull-down menus above.

Caution: This product is not a toy. Although these chew tools are sturdy and durable, no chew tool is indestructible. Wear/tear may be expected given the nature of the intended use. How long they last is typically equal to the amount and intensity of the chewing, as well as other variables (such as jaw strength, stress/anxiety levels, if other sensory strategies are in place, etc.). While for some people a chew tool will last forever, for others with heavy/aggressive oral needs, they may go through it very quickly. Please supervise at all times and replace at first sign of wear and tear.

This is probably the 5th time I’ve bought this pack (which is NOT MUCH based on my son’s chewing habits, these products hold up!) ARK is a wonderful company, and make quality products that I feel good about my child using because they are made in the USA out of safe materials. Also, the shipping is crazy fast! Thank you ARK and keep up the great work.

My 16 month old was getting all his molars and canines in at one time. He also had back to back ear infections. Basically he was extra crabby at daycare. I was at a loss as to what to do to help him stop biting his friends. Our pediatrician recommended these and they have helped! He knows to chew on them when he is teething bad and they are always in an arms reach. We got the standard and XT. I think he likes the XT since he tends to chew on hard things. Definitely buying more!

I purchased all XXT in this combo and they have withstood my sons constant chewing. He loves them and I love them for not falling apart.

This is the third time I've purchased the combo 4 pack and it's a great value. My kiddo is a hardcore chewer and these are EXACTLY what he needs in order to get through the day. I love the customizable feature of the package and the quality of the product is unmatched.

I have a 15 month old and a 2 1/2 year old with various issues (prematurity, speech delay, feeding issues. SPD, Autism, etc.). They have used some of these products in speech and occupational therapy and they immediately took to then and have continued to use them daily in our home. Thank you for such great products.

My son is a chewer and used to go through a couple chewies a month. Then I found these and bought the XX tough ones. I love the variety pack to save money and get a few different designs for him. These last so much longer than others! Love them

My toddler loves these and I do too, we get the XXT and they last him for months at a time (he chews more than half of his waking hours so they hold up to a lot of chewing!)

We couldn’t be happier with these! Our son has always been a big chewer/oral sensory seeking. Once we got these, we saw such a drastic decrease in his inappropriate chewing. He is a strong chewer, so we always have multiples on hand. I think it’s also helped him meet his oral sensory needs, so over time, we’ve also started seeing a decrease in his need to chew period. These are so so great!!

If you have a chewer in your family get this. I got this as my first ever purchase from ARK and I am so incredibly pleased. I would recommend it for younger kids maybe up to age of 5 as they are the grabbers or Y chews (but honestly doesn't help to try with older kiddos either) But this was the best bang for your buck and you get to chose what durability you want. J got these for my 2 year old.

I bought 2 combo packs, one for each grandchild, and they love them. They are fun colors. The only thing I would change is wthe labeling so I know what strength each one is sine each child has different needs and I can't remember which color is which. I highly recommend these for anyone who has the chewing urge. Great quality product.

ARK chew tools come in 3 color-coded toughness levels:
Usually we recommend going with the softest/standard level by default. Unless someone chews through or causes damage to anything else they chew on (chews through pencils, chews holes in shirts, etc.), in which case the XT level would be longer lasting.
If someone does chew through things, it’s possible they may need the toughest XXT level eventually. XXT is super firm, though, so we don't always recommend getting it right off the bat (some people find it uncomfortable chewing on something that firm).
So XXT is usually best either for people who have chewed through the XT level already, and/or for anyone who already likes chewing on very hard items - things like legos, hard plastic toys, wooden items, etc.
Heads up: Designs that are wider and "beefier" will feel tougher than designs that are more slender in the same toughness level. For example, the Dino-Bite in XT will feel tougher than the Krypto-Bite in XT.
Probe Tip - This is the most versatile & popular tip attachment. It's bumpy on one side and striated on the other side for different levels of sensory input (the bumpy side provides more input than the striated side).
Mini Tip - This is a smaller version of the Probe Tip, designed for smaller mouths (about 2.5 years and under). This age recommendation is not a hard-and-fast rule though - we've seen younger kids use the Probe Tip and older individuals use the Mini Tip.
Preefer Tip - This tip attachment is rounded with ridges all along the circumference for when a "rolling" action is desired for a different kind of sensory input. Roll it over the lips, across the tongue, and inside the cheeks.
Fine Tip - This tip narrows down to a fine point, which makes it perfect for pinpointing very specific areas in the mouth.
Bite-n-Chew Tip - These tips are rounded and chewable, for practicing biting & chewing skills. The "extra long" versions are about an inch longer and a little skinnier, to make it easier to reach the back molars. The textured version has bumps for extra sensory input.
Bite Tube Tip - These tips are similar to the Bite-n-Chew Tip, but with a hollow center so that you can put puréed foods (applesauce, yogurt, etc.) inside the tip for functional biting & chewing practice. Once you bite down on the tip, you get 'rewarded' with a taste of food.
Spoon Tip - Great for feeding therapy and mealtimes, these attachments turn the Z-Vibe into a vibrating spoon! The smooth, gentle vibration can help "wake up" the mouth and decrease aversions. The textured version has bumps on the bottom of the spoon bowl to help stimulate the tongue and lower lip, and to help encourage the transition from puréed to more solid foods. The hard Spoon Tip is rigid, like a regular spoon. The soft Spoon Tip is flexible (still firm enough to hold food, but flexible enough to be gentle on the teeth if someone bites down on the spoon.
Tongue Tip - This tip can be used as a traditional tongue scraper to help establish good oral care. It can also be used to help establish the concept of tongue lateralization and elevation (hold the Tongue Tip vertically in front of the mouth and ask the individual to put the tip of their tongue inside the hole, then guide the tongue from side to side or up and down). You can also place the Tongue Tip flat on top of the tongue to provide input to a large surface area of the tongue (this tip has the largest "footprint" surface-area-wise).
Popette Tip - This tip attachment is an adaptor that lets you use lollipops with the Z-Vibe. Just twist the Popette Tip into the Z-Vibe handle, then press a lollipop into the Popette Tip. Lollipops are a fun way to get kids interested in sensory oral motor exercises.
Brush Tips - The soft version has gentle bristles for gum massage; the hard version has firmer bristles closer to that of a traditional toothbrush. These can be used to help get orally sensitive individuals more comfortable with oral care, so that they can eventually use regular toothbrushes, be more comfortable going to the dentist, etc.
Pencil - This attachment turns your Z-Vibe into a vibrating pencil! The vibration of the Z-Vibe is very smooth, so it doesn't create squiggly lines. Instead, it can help increase focus by providing more sensory input and awareness to the hand.
Pen - This attachment turns your Z-Vibe into a vibrating pen.
Crayon - And this attachment turns your Z-Vibe into a vibrating crayon.
Brick Tip - This tip attachment has large bumps on one side and small bumps on the other side for lots of varying sensory input while biting & chewing. It comes in 3 toughness levels for mild to moderate to avid chewing.
