Does chewing on pencils or pen caps sound familiar? Made in the USA, ARK's Brick Stick® Chewable Pencil Topper is the perfect solution. Chewing can be a very effective way to help calm, self-regulate, and focus, so these chewy pencil covers are a perfect pairing for homework, note-taking, and more. As an added bonus, they also provide extra weight to the pencil, which provides increased hand awareness and promotes proper pencil positioning. Each topper is solid on one end for chewing, hollow on the opposite end to conveniently fit over standard #2 pencils (included), and textured all around for extra tactile input. The front side features large bumps, with small bumps on the back side for varied sensory input. ARK's Brick Stick® pencil topper comes in 3 color-coded toughness levels: Standard = the softest / chewiest option, recommended for mild chewing XT = XT stands for "Xtra Tough," recommended for moderate chewing XXT = XXT stands for "Xtra Xtra Tough," recommended for those who like the resistance of chewing on very hard items Details: Each topper is sold individually Best practice is to use with eraser-less pencils (each topper comes with its own eraser-less pencil) Designed, manufactured, and assembled in the USA by ARK Therapeutic Each topper is medical grade, FDA compliant, and contains NO lead, phthalates, PVC, BPA, or latex Each topper measures about 2.5" long, .6" wide, and about .5" thick (just a tad thicker than the Brick Stick necklace).
