The ARK Binder Buddy is a flexible, tactile fidget tool designed to fit seamlessly into your daily routine. With holes to fit the rings of standard binders, it provides calming and organizing sensory relief that's always within reach. 

The Binder Buddy is perfect for students, individuals with sensory processing needs, or anyone seeking a discreet fidget solution. It features ruler-inspired texture on one side and four unique textures on the back (big bumps, small bumps, long lines, and arrows) for varied sensory input. Twist it, bend it, chew it, run your fingers along the different textures, and fidget away! this binder fidget is available in three toughness levels to suit your needs:

• Standard - This is the softest level, recommended for mild chewers (those who do not chew through anything).
• XT / Medium Firm - This is the middle level, which we call XT ("Xtra Tough").  It's firmer, but still fairly chewy, recommended for moderate chewers.
• XXT / Very Firm - This is the toughest level, which we call XXT ("Xtra Xtra Tough").  This is the toughest level.

Caution: This product is not a toy. The clasp and cord are not intended for chewing. Contains small parts that may pose a choking hazard. Not recommended for children under 5 years of age.
Although the Ark chew tools are sturdy and durable, no chew tool is indestructible. Some individuals particularly those with strong oral sensory needs or who chew aggressively may be able to damage them in a short period of time. The lifespan of each tool depends on a variety of factors, including individual chewing intensity and whether the user is receiving support from an occupational therapist.
Please supervise use at all times and replace the item if it shows signs of wear and tear. We are unable to offer refunds for chews that have been used. Finding the right chew is often a process of trial and error—please contact us for help and advice.
