Ark Therapeutic- More than a chewer! $100 Gift Card Giveaway

Let's talk fidget spinners for a brief second... We've all seen the kids collecting them from different shapes and colors to the ones that light up and even have tiny speakers in them. Boy once something becomes popular it really blows up right?  I kinda feel sorry for the teachers because while they were meant to help kids with ADD/ADHD to become more focused, they really did become a "toy" in the classroom and yes a distraction none the less.  Even still, as hot as they were, they weren't safe for all kids.  Those things spin so fast and are generally made up of a super hard plastic or metal they're just they can be pretty dangerous for younger kids or kiddos with disabilities.

Working in the school here and there has really shown me that the kids with dissabilities just have to miss out on certain trends and then that makes them stand out more than they already did.  Not fair right?!  So when I received an e-mail back form ARK Therapeutics stating they would like to work with us and allow us to introduce their products to our readers I was pretty excited!  First thing I picked out was their fidget spinners of course!

Ark Therapeutic specializes in manufacturing innovative therapy tools and special needs products.  So these two fidget spinners were developed as a sensory development tool.  What makes them different? They are both a softer plastic, don't come apart, and the brick sensory fidget spinner is textured on both sides.  Pretty cool!!

So more about Ark Therapeutic:
   They have so many different sensory therapy tools I  had no idea that things like this even existed or that there was even a need!  They sent me a big box of products to tell you about and then off to the school they will go!  I'm so excited to be able to share these with the school and other students.

One of the Ark Therapeutic product designs is Chewable Necklaces.  We received a Ark's Dina Tracks, Ark's Krypto-Bite, Ark's Chew Dude, Ark's Pizza Slice, Arks Bite Saber, oh and an adorable Ark's Diamond.  There are so many different designs for these necklaces that there's sure to be something every kiddo would enjoy.    One thing I've noticed is each of these shapes are made with a softer plastic that's appropriate for chewing but color coded for toughness level for different ages or cognitive levels. The cord for the necklace is made out of a rip away clasp and is adjustable simply by putting in a new knot and cutting off the excess.

So not all of Ark Therapeutic toys are designed specifically for children with disabilities and I apologize if that's been my primary focus but I find it pretty cool!

Check out this adorable Ark's Baby Guitar!  We are true music lovers so this is a great addition to Baby Kolton's teething toys for when he gets a little bigger.  The flexible rubber design is easy for his little hands to hold onto and when he starts teething the stem will reach his back molar area without being too big to create a choking hazard.  The textured bumps and ridges will be great for sensory as he will be able to feel them with both his cute little hands and his mouth.  Arks Therapeutic also offers a larger Ark's Guitar Oral Motor Chew which is great for older children to help them chew on appropriate toys and improve jaw strength and stability.

Baby Kolton also received two Baby Chew Rings.  I find myself while I'm typing this sitting here squeezing these as they are soft and very flexible.  They have a few textured spots which will be great when his front teeth start to come in.








Arks Therapeutic offers quite a few products to help older children who chew on inappropriate products replace them with soft motor therapy tools.  We received several Ark's Grabbers which come in different colors, sizes, and textured and smooth so they are efficient for all different levels and needs.  We also received a yellow soft and chewy Ark's Y-Chew which was developed for mild chewers or those with limited jaw strength practicing their biting and chewing skills.

ARK Therapeutic has so many different therapy tools we haven't even really touched the surface.
