Kids Chewing Tube for Speech Therapy & Oral Motor Training
Support your child's speech, chewing and oral motor development with this soft silicone chewing tube. Designed for little hands and mouths, it offers a safe and engaging way for children to practice biting and chewing, massage their teeth and gums, and work on the muscles needed for clearer speech and more efficient feeding.
Made from soft, child-friendly silicone, this oral motor tool is suitable for children who need extra support with speech therapy, oral muscle rehabilitation or sensory-based activities. The tube encourages repetitive chewing motions that help strengthen jaw, lip and tongue muscles. A loop-style handle provides a secure, easy grip while helping to keep the tube in place during exercises. The varied textures along the tube surface offer gentle sensory input, supporting children who benefit from tactile feedback, including many children on the autism spectrum or with sensory processing needs.
The silicone material can be disinfected by boiling, making it simple for parents, therapists and caregivers to maintain hygiene between sessions. Lightweight and portable, it can be used at home, in the classroom, or in a therapy setting as part of a structured oral motor or speech program. This tool is intended to complement professional guidance from speech therapists, occupational therapists or pediatric specialists, and can be integrated into individual therapy plans to support articulation, feeding skills and general oral awareness.
