Review: Cheaply made, but did it’s job & I’d buy again - The price is high, as the item is cheaply made, but it was worth every penny, as my 16 month old With Down Syndrome is now able the drink from a straw within less than a month of having this bottle. You squeeze the bottle with minimal pressure which is easier than constantly sticking a straw into a water glass and using your finger to hold the liquid in the straw to transfer to your child. We let her just chew on the straw at times, to get a feel for it. Then squeeze a little more. She started really closing her mouth around the straw after a week and is now fully capable of putting straw in her mouth and sucking water. After day one, the black nose was rubbed off, day two the lid, which can’t be shut when straw is in, broke off. But even with these issues, the bear bottle did it’s job and she is able to drink from it on her own. Beware, it’s not spill proof, but I only put water in it so that didn’t matter.
Review: Love the valve!!! - Works great for teaching my special needs baby to drink from a straw!

## Features

- TEACHES STRAW DRINKING: The ARK Bear Bottle Kit helps to make drinking through straws easier while also helping develop oral motor skills. This honey bear straw cup is perfect for home, therapy, or on the go.
- COMPONENTS: Easy-to-squeeze ARK Honey Bear Straw Cup with a snap-close cap, select-flow valve, two 8" long tubing straws, and yellow Lip Blok (3/4"). The bottle is compatible with most standard 0.25" dia. Straws.
- SAFE & FUNCTIONAL: Developed by a speech-language pathologist (SLP), the Bear is made in the USA with food-grade materials. The Lip Blok stops kids from biting the drinking straw or inserting it too far into their mouths.
- VERSATILE: Our bear straw cup is perfect for transitioning directly from bottles to straw drinking, as well as for people with oral motor problems, prone to aspiration, or having a weak suction. Dimensions: 2" x 2.5" x 6"; Capacity: 8 fl.oz.
- ONE-WAY VALVE: The bottle’s unique valve keeps liquid at the top of the straw, not letting it flow back down—simply squeeze the belly to bring fluid up, reducing effort and making straw drinking easier for beginners and individuals with weak suction.
