Honey Bear Bottle

The Honey Bear Bottle by ARK is a fun and friendly drinking tool designed to make learning easier for beginners and children with oral motor challenges. It’s also a fantastic way to transition little ones straight from bottles to straw drinking, skipping sippy cups altogether!

Unlike many sippy cups that encourage improper tongue and lip positioning, the Honey Bear supports healthy oral development while making drinking both achievable and enjoyable.Oral Motor straws are a better alternative, as they strengthen the mouth muscles and encourage tongue retraction, cheek tension, and lip closure.

Therapy Benefits

  • Supports oral motor development: Encourages tongue retraction, cheek tension, and proper lip closure.
  • Strengthens sucking skills: Ideal for children with weak suck or difficulty maintaining suction.
  • Promotes safe drinking: The one-way valve helps reduce effort and supports children who aspirate or tire easily when drinking.
  • Encourages independence: Makes straw drinking accessible and fun for children transitioning from bottles.

      Excellent bottle for teaching straw drinking!

      "This bottle has been a game changer in teaching my 10 month old to drink from a straw. We had been struggling for about 4 months, but within 1 day of receiving the bottle, she had made significant gains in lip closure and sucking. Highly recommend to anyone needing a bit of help with straw drinking!"

      Great bottle for our 10 month old

      "This bottle was recommended for our 10 month old by his speech pathologist. Very easy to use for him, it is the first bottle he's been able to drink a substantial amount of water from. The bottle works great, but the black marks for the eyes and nose came almost entirely off immediately when we did an initial hand wash before first use"

      Great product !

      "I brought this because my toddler was making no progress with learning to use a straw or sippy cup . He got the hang of this in just 10 min and within a week he can use any straw (but not with the same ease as this ). This is a brilliant design !"

      The big bear cover up

      "My little guy was scared of the bear. It took me a week to work out that was the reason he wouldn't try it. But the solution was so simple. I just covered the bottle in a tiger character sock and told him it was a tiger sippy. He took to it immediately. Could be helpful for other parents with the same issue. Otherwise the bottle is amazing, doesn't leak and easy to use."
