ARK Bear Bottle Kit to Teach Straw Drinking, Food-Grade Honey Bear Straw Cup with One-Way Valve, Sippy Cup Alternative

Looking for a fun and friendly way to teach straw drinking to beginners and children with oral motor difficulties? Look no further than the ARKs Bear Bottle Kit! This innovative kit includes all of the tools you need to skip sippy cups altogether and transition straight to straws. Sippy cups can promote improper tongue and lip positioning, which can lead to speech and dental problems later on. Straws, however, encourage correct oral posture and strengthen mouth muscles, promoting tongue retraction, cheek tension, and lip closure. The Bear Bottle features a unique valve that keeps fluid at the top of the straw, making it easier to drink for beginners or those with weak suction. Simply squeeze the friendly bear's belly until fluid reaches the top of the straw and release! This special valve also decreases the risk of coughing or choking, as it allows for smaller, more manageable sips.

And for those who tend to take in too much fluid at a time, the Select-Flow Valve is perfect for slowing the flow of fluid. This kit includes 1 easy-to-squeeze Bear Bottle with a snap-close cap, 1 Select-Flow Valve, 2 flexible tubing straws, 1 Lip Blok, and instructions on how to teach straw drinking. The tubing straws are a durable alternative to regular disposable straws, and the Lip Blok discourages biting or inserting the straw too far into the mouth while providing a natural oral motor workout. The ARKs Bear Bottle Kit is made in the USA and free from harmful materials such as BPA, PVC, lead, phthalates, and latex. It can hold up to 8 ounces of fluid and is dishwasher-safe for easy cleaning.

Please note that this kit contains small parts that may pose a choking hazard, and direct supervision is required at all times. Looking for replacement parts or add-ons for your Bear Bottle?
