The ARK Bear Bottle Kit, a fun and friendly solution designed to make drinking easier for beginners and children with oral motor difficulties. This innovative kit serves as an excellent transition tool, allowing babies to move straight from bottles to straw drinking, bypassing the use of sippy cups altogether.

Key Features:
  • Transition Tool: Perfect for beginners and children with oral motor difficulties, the Bear Bottle Kit facilitates the transition from bottles to straw drinking. Straws strengthen mouth muscles and encourage proper tongue retraction, cheek tension, and lip closure, promoting healthy oral development.
  • Unique Valve Design: The Bear Bottle features a unique valve that controls the direction of fluid flow. Liquid flows up into the straw but does not flow back down. By squeezing the bear's belly until fluid reaches the top of the straw and releasing, the fluid remains at the top, reducing the effort required to drink. This feature is highly recommended for individuals prone to aspiration or those with weak sucking abilities.

Kit Contents: The kit includes 1 easy-to-squeeze Bear Bottle with a snap-close cap, 1 Select-Flow Valve, 2 tubing straws, and 1 yellow Lip Blok® (1.91cm). The durable tubing straws are an alternative to traditional straws, and the Lip Blok prevents children from biting on the straw or inserting it too far into their mouths.

Shipping within the UK

Shipping will be calculated at checkout. When items come from a single supplier, the following rates apply. If your order includes products from multiple suppliers, an extra charge will be added at checkout to contribute towards shipping costs. This helps us keep product prices as low as possible. As a one-stop shop, we aim to make it more affordable to buy in one place than purchasing from multiple online retailers and paying shipping at each.

We may be able to ship some items internationally. Standard shipping for small parcels to EU countries is £15.
