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.
