Product Summary
Meet Gomez, the cool & charming blue Speech Monster 💙
Gomez is the effortlessly cool and charming blue monster from The Speech Monsters! With a moveable mouth, adjustable tongue, and built-in placement cues, Gomez helps children see exactly how different speech sounds are made. It's a concept that is often difficult to teach.
Whether he's guiding phonics in the classroom, supporting speech development at home, or making therapy sessions more engaging, Gomez brings a calm, friendly energy that children love. Cool, calm and quietly brilliant. Gomez is always ready to help little voices shine. 🌟
Perfect for use at home, in the classroom, or during therapy sessions
Made for everyone supporting a child's speech sound development — at home, in the classroom, in the clinic.
Speech & Language Therapists
An age-appropriate alternative to traditional mouth models. Engages children faster and supports placement teaching for every speech sound therapy goal.
Teachers & early years
Brings phonics lessons to life. Works for whole-class teaching, small groups, and supporting children with speech and language delays in mainstream settings.
Parents at home
Make daily speech practice fun and consistent. Turn 5 minutes of practice into something your child looks forward to.
Children learn speech sounds best when they can see how they're made
Articulation is invisible. Asking a child to "put your tongue behind your teeth" is abstract, and for many children (especially those with speech delays) it just doesn't click.
Gomez makes the invisible visible. Children watch his mouth and tongue move, copy what they see, and practise sounds through play instead of instruction.
- Moveable mouth. Brings speech to life and motivates children to imitate the puppet for individual sounds.
- Placement cue. A purple dot behind the top teeth gives children a concrete visual target for tongue positioning.
- Adjustable tongue. Flexible and visual, demonstrating exact placement for tricky sounds like "L" and "R".
- Soft & sensory-friendly. Works beautifully with neurodivergent and additional-needs children.

You'll receive login details from The Speech Monsters. Watch the demonstration video for the sound you're working on.
Practise through play
Use Gomez's mouth and tongue to model the sound. Just 5 minutes a day makes a difference.
Children learn speech sounds best when practice feels like play. Don't drill. Let your child name Gomez, take him on adventures, and feed him imaginary snacks. The articulation practice slips in naturally alongside the fun.
Kids can't get enough of Gomez ✨
From classrooms to therapy rooms to living-room floors, Gomez has a way of pulling children in. The cool blue face, soft texture, and chunky mouth make him irresistibly engaging, even for children who struggle to focus on traditional speech exercises.
Speech therapists, teachers and parents tell us the same thing again and again: kids who weren't interested in practice suddenly are.
Meet Jenny Hillier: the SLT & mum who made The Speech Monsters happen
Jenny Hillier is a Senior Speech and Language Therapist, mum of two, and the founder of The Speech Monsters.
After years of using various props in clinical practice, and never quite finding one that did the job, Jenny saw the need for something more interactive, more visual, and more genuinely engaging for children working on their speech sounds and phonics. So she designed her own.
Every detail of the Speech Monsters was thoughtfully crafted with one goal in mind: to create an experience that is both engaging and impactful. The moveable mouth, the adjustable tongue, the purple placement cue behind the top teeth. None of it is decoration. Each feature exists because Jenny needed it in her therapy room and couldn't find it anywhere else.

So happy with my order of Gomez the Speech Monster. As an SLT I have been looking for years for something like this to capture children's interest and support their understanding of articulator placement for speech sounds. Fabulous idea and such respect to the creator for bringing this to life.
Absolutely love Gomez! Such a fun, engaging character and really well made. Perfect for encouraging interaction and play. It's been a big hit in our home already. The excellent, friendly customer service made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend!
What can I say about Gomez. He has fast become the fuzzy cute fourth very much loved member of our family. My son is a 7 year old currently non-verbal autistic little man who was introduced to Gomez only last week. I was absolutely amazed at how my son responded, having never shown any interest in communication toys in the past. In the space of a week he is modelling, feeding and sharing his food with Gomez and is actively seeking him out for us to play with him.
