Chewable Mermaid Tail Necklace Pendant (1 Piece)
Sold by
Temu
Why this made the cut
This resource was chosen as an affordable option for children who seek oral sensory input through chewing. It provides a more appropriate outlet than clothing or other non-food items, while remaining portable and easy to use during daily routines.
This is a budget-friendly find. Materials may be lighter or less refined than premium alternatives, but the core function and play value remain the focus.

How to use at home
Offer the chewable tool during seated activities, travel, transitions, or moments of increased sensory need. Introduce it intentionally with a clear expectation, such as “This is for chewing.”
Use consistently so it becomes associated with regulation rather than play.
Best for
- Children who chew clothing or non-food items
- Supporting focus during seated tasks
- Travel and transitions
- Providing oral sensory input in a safer way
Age groups
Suitable for children aged 3 years and older. Adult supervision is recommended. Always check the tool regularly for signs of wear and replace if damaged.
