When I was 4, I had to see a myofunctional therapist because the muscles in my lips were not developed and I couldn't pucker. I had to do an exercise called the flying elephant. I had a small maple syrup jug with a string tied to its handle and a button tied at the top of the string. At first, I had to put the button between my lips and front teeth and try not to let it fall out while walking. As my muscles got stronger, the jug was filled with a little bit of water. Continue to fill the jug as the student's muscle strengthen.
Hope this helps!
