TalkTools® Honey Bear Silicone

The TalkTools® Honey Bear Silicone is a squeezable therapy cup that lets a clinician or caregiver control the flow of liquid into a child's mouth while building straw drinking, lip rounding, tongue retraction and other oral-motor skills. It is an upgraded version of the original TalkTools Honey Bear: the silicone body is dishwasher and microwave safe, and every feature that made the original the go-to therapy cup for speech and feeding therapists is unchanged.

Key benefits

• Squeezable silicone body delivers a controlled flow of liquid to support oral-motor development
• Teaches lip rounding, tongue retraction and straw drinking in children who need supported liquid intake
• Supports the transition from bottle feeding to cup drinking in toddlers
• Leak-resistant lid reduces spills during therapy and at home
• Dishwasher safe (top rack) and microwave safe, unlike the original
• Soft and lightweight, so small hands can grip it easily
