While blowing and watching the colored string move, the string pipe naturally encourages deep belly breath, thereby supporting self-regulation (a great way to become alert, attentive, and focused). These string pipes can be used in therapy sessions, in classrooms, or home settings. You can use them to support self-regulation, for example in morning or bedtime routines, before or after school or community events. They can even make writing a report, studying for a test, or completing homework easier. Everyone (children and adults alike) are more productive when in an optimal alert level and when well-regulated.

These string pipes are above and beyond the quality you would typically expect and are manufactured in the USA! They will be a fun support for you and/or your client’s self-regulation.
