chewable toys for autism now I say chewable
toys but they are kind of like chewable gadgets
or chewable kind of wear so this video is
not sponsored but the lovely people
chewigem sent me a little package in
the mail so well go and check this out
right now and see what we've got
what we're gonna do is gonna open this
have a look in and then we'll talk about
why those things could be good for
autism also going to stop there for the
healthy green juice gotta' do your bit you
know now before we get started I have
this thing I know this is a klixx I
will leave a link for this down below
and this was playing with the beginning
of the video and this is amazing this is
like one of my favorite fidget things or
clips and it moves and stuff but it's
not chewable you'll break your teeth on
this
okay so let's dig in this is the package
from chewigem I haven't actually have a
look yet because I wanted to open it
with you guys you know and feel kind of
a bit special okay so let's go ahead and
open this box out of box okay cool so
here we have a little chewigem guy you
see that guy in there anyway so let's
open this box it's lovely box and this
is a I think this is kind of like a
surprise like monthly box I don't know
so oh look okay cool so some lovely
paper and some bits and pieces on chewigem
which don't worry guys I will leave
a link to the website in the description
below so you can see everything that
I've got here if you want to buy it you
can do ok so the first thing we have
here so this is a wrist bump I believe
let me open this bag I like that it
comes in this this bag book is like you
can actually use it to keep it in so
let's try and Chew on this and see what happened
that's so good wow man this is a wrist
band as well wow this is good this is very
good
there's all kind like a marble print
don't you see that but so yeah it's a
cute cute marble panel cool alright next
up we have this thing and it looks
like a like a dongle these are all BPA
free by the way which is kind of really
cool so this thing is like a really long
shape one it's kind of like a cigar
shape thing I love that it has a little
chewigem on it I don't if you can see
that with it it has little Chewigem guy
on it but these are so good to chew on
and that's a big gross every watching
me chew stuff but I wanted to try them out
see what it's like it was pretty awesome
ok the next one we have here from Chewigem
again is this
it's a twin pack I think or a watch thing
thing oh no it's dog tags huh ok so this
actually has a cord around it so I'm
guessing you can wear it around your
neck if you really wanted to which is
kind of cool I just undo this now so you
can put it on your neck like so and then
you have this you have dog tag oh my god
it's so tough I love it it doesn't
actually leave bite marks and which is
pretty amazing I've had things before
where it leaves bite marks in them and
there's no good what this is this is
pretty dope I'm actually just I should
wear this I'm doing a conference in a
couple days actually might wear this
just because it's really handy because
that's a thing right so I don't know if
you guys get this but when I get really
really stressed I kind of tend to just
chew on things like I just get mad and
like willing to bite down on things and
especially before like a meltdown or
during a meltdown this is gonna be very
very handy did he experience anger and
wanting to chew things give this video a
thumbs up because I'd love to kind of
feel bit more related to you guys okay
so the next thing they sent me in this
lovely box may I add is a and what looks
like a tiny tyre now this is cool
because it has a tread on it like an
actual tyre now I love that I love that it has
a tread but is it chewy
it's so good this is really good
again this is kind of like a bracelet
you can actually put on your wrist and
just have it on your wrist I was like a
bracelet I guess or like we're you know
so it's kind of like the idea of
Chewigem I'm guessing is that like you
can have these these items about you
about the person so that you can
actually you know you don't throw in
your bag and find them to chew them you
can you can have them around you whilst
you chew them
so that would the item so this what we
have just it's just a recap okay guys so
we had bracelet we have the cigar shape
one which is pretty cool I suppose you
could like hang off like a lanyard or
something then you have this tyre shape
one which i think is pretty cool and
then you also have these dog tags which
I'm really really impressed with I
feel like these are like my favorite
these are these definite my favorite
okay so they were the Chewigem was now
a lot of people on the spectrum have an
issue where they want to chew things and
they're like sometimes they'll chew the
collar here give this video a thumbs up
if you can relate to this you chew the
collar or you chew your cuffs or you'll
chew the tassels that hang off your
hoodies or your sweatshirt and this is
very very common and I've seen loads
people like ruin their sweatshirt
through this or ruin their clothing
because they're chewing on stuff and I'm
trying to find the right stuff to chew
on again because you know let's look at
it this clicks of versus these bad boys
you know obviously this wins because
this is not gonna break your teeth and
stuff but this is like more of a fidget
gadget again I will leave a link for
this in description below but also go
special link for these guys below too so
you can check out a Chewigem through my
code and to me it's something that
needed to happen you know I feel like
there's been a lack of like chewable
stuff for autistic people in the
community and Chewigem really fill that gap
and I highly recommend checking them are
I think they're really cool there's nice
and sent me all this free stuff which
I'm definitely going to use I've just
find this stuff just this is outrageous
so thank you Chewigem for that now I
actually have a question for you guys
what do you guys do to chew on stuff if
you've not come across chewable items
before because I'd love to know how you
kind of deal with the fact that you need
to chew because to me it was really it's
an issue and I think it's actually what
caused me to hit my head quite a bit as
well when I'm in meltdowns
because obviously when I'm out on to
bang my head but if you want to know
more about that I'll leave a link in the
card above so you can check out the
video I did on meltdowns but
I think that not being able to chew on
stuff to count frustration or to get
kind of like a fidget it actually leads
to other things other problems and which
other no I don't know that's the
thing just let me know what I'd love to
know in the comments below what your
thoughts are on this as well but all
along I really like this I think this is
really cool and I think every to check
out Chewigem yeah nice one
