Does your child keep chewing on pens and pencils? Chewing toppers offer a safe alternative: you slide them onto the pencil, so the need to chew is met in a pleasant way.
Chewing toppers, also known as pencil toppers, are tips made from sturdy, safe material that you slide onto a pencil or pen to chew on. They offer a safe alternative to chewing on pens, pencils or sleeves and meet a natural need to chew. Chewing provides a pleasant, calming input that helps with concentration, tension and sensory processing. Chewing toppers are ideal in the classroom or at the table and are widely used by children and adults, including those with ADHD and autism.
When choosing chewing toppers, the main things to consider are chew strength, fit and shape:
