ARK Products: Sensory Tools for Everyday Life

New Products Inspired by Our Fresh Look

Also in celebration of our 25th anniversary year, we're introducing our largest drop of new products yet, with several exciting new products inspired by our new look:

.

Six chew necklaces hanging in a row from left to right

.

ParaBite™, Teardrop, and Chevron Chew Necklaces

Starting off: three products that were directly inspired by the shapes in our new logo:

All three are great options for individuals who prefer a smaller, more discreet chew tool.  The ParaBite and Teardrop are especially great picks for fingernail and lip biters. The Chevron is a great option for more avid chewers and/or those who prefer a horizontal chew.

Chewable “Pens” and Business Cards

Inspired by customer requests for a wearable Chewth Pick®, our new Chewable Pens are a very similar slim/slender size, but styled into a pen-shaped design.  There are three different texture options available for increasing sensory feedback: Smooth, Ribbed, and Bumpy.  

The Smooth option is a default, go-to choice.  The Ribbed option provides additional sensory input through mild texture. The Bumpy option provides the most sensory input via raised bumps. Choose which texture intensity is the best fit for you.  

Our Chewable Business Card has been updated to our new logo.  This chew tool is an underrated pick for avid chewers: the flat, larger surface area makes for a more durable chew, especially in the toughest level.

SensaStones™ Fidget Keychains and Binder Buddy Fidgets

Introducing our SensaStones™ Fidget Keychains and our Binder Buddy:  These tactile tools are meant to live in places you take with you every day - your keys, lanyard, or your binder at school.

The SensaStones come in a pack of three, with each stone featuring a different texture for a range of increasing tactile feedback from Smooth to Lined to Bumpy. These are great to rub your fingertips along for calming or concentration.  The teardrop shape here was inspired by a shape from the A in our new logo.

The Binder Buddy has holes along the side that actually fit into most standard sized binders. It features four unique textures on the back of various intensities and ruler-esque lined texture on the front. It comes in our three toughness levels for different levels of "bend-ability". It's a discreet tactile fidget that's easy to grab while focusing on schoolwork.

.

AlphaBite® Handheld A-R-K Chew Tools

To round out the collection, we're excited to release our AlphaBite® A-R-K chews, the handheld version of our AlphaBite chew necklaces.  These large letter-shaped chew tools each have a long extension to chew on and a unique hex-shaped cross-section.

 

New Website Coming Soon!

In addition to a fresh look, a new website is coming soon with several enhancements to make it even easier to use, including:

  • Improved navigation, search functionality, and product filtering to help you find the right tools faster
  • Revamped display of customer reviews, including the option to sort, filter, search, and/or attach photos and videos
  • A resource library organizing our blog posts, demo videos, and more

.

More Exciting Developments Ahead

We hope you love the new look and updates.  We have even more news planned for 2025 including highly requested new products and resources launching later this year. 

Stay tuned!
