Chew Awards: Our “Most Likely To” Picks for Everyday Chewing
28th Apr 2026
School’s almost out - we can feel the summer sun, smell the fresh air, and almost hear yearbook committees everywhere assigning superlatives to their classmates. Our chew tools have been hard at work all year serving your sensory needs - so we thought we’d have some fun and assign some superlatives to them as well!
Without further ado, ARK’s Chewy Superlatives:
.
.
Most Likely to Last Longest for Avid Chewers
This esteemed award goes to the Dino-Bite Chew Necklace. With its wide, thick, and robust shape, this chew is extra durable against strong chewing. Choose the Toughest level, and the longevity is bumped up even more.
Most Likely to Save Your Pencils
The Krypto-Bite Chewable Pencil Topper is the perfect fit here - literally! The hollow end of the topper fits over your standard #2 pencil and shields it from the chewing and nibbling you do while concentrating in school or at work. We have a version for pens, too.
Most Likely to Blend in With Your Outfit
Our smallest, most discreet chewable necklace, the ParaBite Chew Necklace, claims this title. The pendant is about the size of your thumbprint - and comes in neutral colors that look like a subtle piece of jewelry.
Most Likely to Help Your Fingernails Grow Out
If you’ve been trying to grow your nails for years, but can’t kick the nailbiting habit - the Chewable Loop Necklace is your chew. The thin, flat shape is best for mimicking the action of nail biting. We like recommending this in the softest level for nail biters.
Most Likely to Save Your Child’s Toys From Bite Marks
The Racecar Chew Necklace proudly earns this superlative. With a realistic racing car shape, this is a great chew to offer if your kiddo tends to put their smaller toys in their mouths during play. They can chew on their racecar chewy while their actual toy car survives to speed down the track another day.
Most Likely to Keep Your Hands (And Mouth) Busy
We have several chewy fidgets, but the Bendy Bite Chewable Fidget deserves this spot. You can chew on the Bendy Bite as a regular handheld chew, or you can use it as a fidget and fold the arms of the Bendy Bite in on itself for fidgety fun.
Most Likely to Keep Your Shirt Collars In One Piece
Tired of seeing holes in your child’s shirt collars? The Chewlinder Hollow Chew Necklace gets this superlative because it’s strung horizontally - this makes it a great mimic of the motion you’d do when pulling up the shirt collar to chew. The Krypto-Bite Tube Necklace and Chevron Chew Necklace are runners up for this title.
Most Likely to Help You Concentrate In Class
Classroom fidgets need to be discreet, quiet, and still provide sensory input. The Binder Buddy does all of this, in a super convenient way. It fits in the rings of a standard US 3-ring binder which keeps it tucked away when you don’t need it, but close by when you’re needing a moment of self-regulation, calm, and focus.
Most Likely to Work For Texture Lovers
The classic Brick Stick Textured Chew Necklace was a no-brainer for this title. With large bumps on one side, small bumps on the other, and smooth sides, there’s a great variety of sensory input here - all packed into a long, slender back molar shape.
Best All-Around
Our Best All-Around title was highly coveted amongst our Chew Class of 2026 - but the superlative has to go to the Krypto-Bite Chewable Gem Necklace. A simple, stylish design that can be flashy in bright colors, or discreet in neutral colors. A long, slender shape that fits perfectly in the back molars, but can also work for premolar and front teeth chewing. An ARK classic, loved by customers, and recommended countless times by the ARK team. Let’s hear it for the Krypto-Bite Gem!
