{"product_id":"ark-baby-grabber-chew-toy","title":"ARK Baby Grabber Chew Toy","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe ARK Baby Grabber is an oral motor chew toy made by ARK Therapeutic, a leading US manufacturer of specialist sensory and oral motor tools trusted by occupational therapists, speech and language therapists, and SEND practitioners worldwide. Designed specifically for babies and toddlers, the Baby Grabber features a chunky, easy-grip handle and a multi-textured chewing surface that provides varied proprioceptive feedback to the jaw, gums, and mouth. It is made from ARK's body-safe, non-toxic material and is free from BPA, PVC, phthalates, and latex.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow It Helps\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOral sensory seeking — chewing, mouthing, and biting — is a normal part of infant development, but for some babies and toddlers it is more intense and persistent than typical. Providing a dedicated, safe chew toy gives young children a constructive outlet for this need, reducing mouthing of unsafe objects and supporting the development of oral motor skills that underpin feeding, speech, and self-regulation. The Baby Grabber's varied texture means children receive rich sensory input from every chew, helping to organise the nervous system and promote calm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFor parents and home use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt home, the ARK Baby Grabber is a practical everyday tool that parents and carers can introduce as part of a child's daily routine. Its chunky handle is easy for little hands to grip independently, encouraging self-directed exploration and reducing reliance on adult prompting. It is easy to clean and robust enough to withstand the demands of daily use by young children. For parents whose babies or toddlers are going through assessment for sensory processing differences, ADHD, or other developmental needs, the Baby Grabber is a therapist-recommended starting point that can be used at home between sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFor schools and early years settings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn nursery, reception, and early years settings, the ARK Baby Grabber supports practitioners working with children who display significant oral seeking behaviours in the classroom. It can form part of a child's sensory diet, agreed with the SENCO and any involved occupational therapist, and used alongside other regulatory strategies during carpet time, transitions, or periods of structured activity. Its non-toxic, cleanable design makes it practical for shared use in an early years or SEND resource base environment, and its familiar toy-like appearance means it sits comfortably alongside other classroom resources without singling a child out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSupporting ADHD, Sensory Processing Differences, and General SEND\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor young children with ADHD, oral motor activity provides proprioceptive feedback that helps regulate the nervous system and support attention. For children with sensory processing differences who are oral sensory seekers, having a designated safe chew toy reduces the risk of injury and damage from mouthing inappropriate items. For children with broader SEND needs, the Baby Grabber is a widely used early intervention tool that features in many occupational therapy programmes and sensory diet recommendations. It is not diagnosis-specific, making it suitable as a first-response tool when a child's needs are still being assessed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe ARK Baby Grabber is manufactured in the USA by ARK Therapeutic to rigorous quality and safety standards. The Dyslexia Shop stocks a range of ARK oral motor tools to suit different ages, developmental stages, and chewing intensities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"ARK","offers":[{"title":"Firm \/ Turquoise","offer_id":57434758906238,"sku":"TA2339-F-TURQ","price":8.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Soft \/ Light Blue","offer_id":57434757038462,"sku":"TA2339-S-BLUE","price":8.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Soft \/ Light Yellow","offer_id":57434758939006,"sku":"TA2339-S-YELLOW","price":8.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Soft \/ Light Pink","offer_id":57434758971774,"sku":"TA2339-S-PINK","price":8.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0653\/6560\/6649\/files\/ark-baby-grabber-double-ended-mouthing-tools__38709.webp?v=1779107384","url":"https:\/\/www.thedyslexiashop.co.uk\/products\/ark-baby-grabber-chew-toy","provider":"The Dyslexia Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
