Oral skills can greatly be improved with this form of activity like blowing bubbles. Oral motor input is important for self-calming. Every parent desire their children to be able to blow birthday candles.  Most children pickup naturally but children with autism and ADHD may need little help.

Gum massage is a simple effective way for oral stimulation.

Blowing powder or paper or balloons is very beneficial in process of speech therapy for children under age of 5.

Drinking with strains requires a lot of oral motor work. The cheeks tighten; the togue tightens, retracts and lips push. It is a great activity for the togue and the cheeks.
