ARK's Brick Stick Chewable Pencil Topper

ARK’s Brick Stick® Chewable Pencil Topper – Available in Three Colour-Coded Toughness Levels

Does chewing on pencils or fingernails sound familiar? ARK's Brick Stick® Chewable Pencil Topper is the perfect solution. This brick-shaped textured design is hollow on one end (to fit over the end of a pencil), and solid on the opposite end for chewing. The Brick Stick® features large bumps on the front and small bumps on the back for a varied sensory experience. Pencil toppers also add extra weight to the pencil for increased hand awareness.

You can use this pencil topper as an oral fidget aid to help calm, soothe and self-regulate thoughts during times of anxiety and stress. The act of chewing on a safe chew tool can focus minds during homework and other activities. It is particularly favoured by children with Autism, Asperger’s, ADHD or those who need a high level of sensory input.

Technical Information

Each Brick Stick® Topper measures about 2 1/2” (6.5cm) long, 5/8” (1.5cm) wide and ½” (1.2cm) thick. Each pencil topper comes with its own pencil, but it can be fitted onto any standard #2 pencil that does not have an eraser on the end. The pencil topper is available in three colour-coded toughness levels

A note about choosing the correct colour

Standard - This is the softest level, recommended for mild chewers (those who do not generally chew through anything). It is also suitable for individuals with low oral tone, or those with limited jaw strength

Medium XT - This is the middle level, which is called XT ("Xtra Tough"). It is firmer, but still fairly chewy and is recommended for moderate chewers

Very Firm XXT - This is the toughest level, which is called XXT ("Xtra Xtra Tough"). It still has some “chewability” to it, but it is fairly rigid/pretty firm. No chew tool is indestructible, but this is usually the longest lasting level for avid chewers.

Choice – Please select your colour choice/toughness level using the drop-down box. One pencil topper chew tool with pencil is supplied. Group photos are for illustration of colours only. Colour hues may vary slightly.

Note - This product is not a toy. This product contains small parts that may pose a choking hazard - recommended for ages 6-7 years and upwards. Although these chew tools are sturdy and durable, no chew tool is indestructible. Wear and tear may be expected given the nature of the intended use. While for some people a chew tool will last forever, for others with heavy/aggressive oral needs, they may go through it very quickly. Please supervise at all times, regularly inspect the chew, and replace if necessary if the item starts to show signs of wear and tear.
