Does chewing on pen caps and pencil erasers sound familiar? We have good news for you! Made in the USA, ARK Therapeutic's Krypto-Bite® Chewable Pencil Toppers offer a safe solution for both children and adults who feel the need to chew. Chewing can be a very effective way to help calm, self-regulate, and maintain concentration. That's why these chewing tools are perfect for homework, note-taking, and more. An added benefit is that they also add extra weight to the pencil for increased hand awareness and to allow the pencil to comfortably rest between the thumb and index finger. They are modeled after the same prism shape as our Krypto-Bite necklace, but with a hollow tube on one side so they easily fit over standard #2 pencils.
Like all other ARK chew products, they are available in 3 color-coded toughness levels:
- 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. It's firmer, but still fairly chewable, recommended for moderate chewers.
- XXT / Very Firm - This is the toughest level. It still has some "chewability" to it, but it's fairly rigid and firm.
No chew product is indestructible, but this is usually the longest-lasting level for avid chewers.
Choose your option from the menu above. Each topper is sold individually with its own free eraser-less pencil. Color shades may vary slightly. Please note: the bottom half of these toppers is hollow to fit over pencils, and therefore they are not recommended for avid/aggressive chewers. The best options for avid chewers are our solid XXT chew tools sold here. It is recommended to use them with eraser-less pencils (a free one is included with each topper). Each topper measures approximately 7 cm in length and 1.3 cm in diameter.
Produced in the USA by ARK Therapeutic. Medical grade, FDA compliant, WITHOUT lead, phthalates, PVC, BPA, or latex.
Caution: This product is not a toy. Recommended for children aged 6-7 and older. While these chew tools are robust and durable, no chew tool is indestructible. Wear and tear can be expected given the nature of the intended use. Always supervise, inspect the chew tool regularly, and replace if necessary if it shows signs of wear and tear.
