Moreno M, Riddle K, Jenkins MC, Singh AP, Zhao Q, Eickhoff J. And it’s SOOOOOO helpful that it tells him where to brush. Instead I now say ‘let’s play the turtle game!’, which sounds way more fun! He enjoys not knowing where it’s going to start. Then I found the Turtle Timer! We’ve had it now for about a week and it has really helped! For one thing, I no longer have to say ‘time to brush your teeth’, which was always met with resistance. They didn’t seem to offer anything different from a regular timer. ![]() I searched Amazon for a tooth brushing timer and found a lot of 2-min timers but most had nothing that would help remind him to switch to a different area of his mouth. My phone was a big distraction as he just fiddled with all the alarm sounds. Solved: Is it possible to have the timer display the of hours, minutes, seconds until it gets to 0. He might keep the brush in his mouth for 2 mins but he might neglect to brush all the areas of his mouth. We tried using a regular kitchen timer, or my phone timer, but both had drawbacks. If we helped him we all ended up stressed out. He hated brushing his teeth and wouldn’t do a good job of it himself. We had so much stress over teeth-brushing with our 8 year old. Never has a child gadget (toy) been this effective for this little money, I feel like I stumbled on the secret treasure of parenting, gifting me a few moment of peace in the nightly bedtime routine. I purposely waited over a month to post this review because I was sure the novelty was going to wear off, but instead it seems like quality toothbrushing has become habitualized. Now there are times when they seem too quiet and independent that I get suspicious and check in, only to find them brushing the corresponding quadrant as the turtle EVERY time. The different legs light up to easily correspond to the different quadrants so that both my 6 and 3 year olds only needed one set of instructions before picking up on the idea. I never write reviews, but I am compelled to share that this silly little toy has completely changed our nightly toothbrushing ritual from bargaining, whining, and so so many prompts to “brush longer” and make sure to get the back”, and “just give me the toothbrush already” to. I purchased this product for my 4 little cousins who are learning how to properly brush their teeth. This product is a cute and excellent learning tool. (I know because I scoured the internet.) It also came with a little tooth brush and personalized note. This product is the only one like it on the market. Which is good, because the ADA recommends starting in a different tooth quadrant every time you brush your teeth (because we humans tend to get lazy with the last two quadrants when we are brushing our teeth). ![]() ALSO for every new “session” a different flipper starts blinking first. Each flipper blinks for 30 seconds (I timed them) for a total of 2 minutes, which is the brushing time the American Dental Association (ADA) recommends. First 30 seconds = 1 blink, second 30 seconds = 2 blinks, third 30 seconds = 3 blinks, fourth 30 seconds = 4 blinks 4) Oral health: The ultimate reason to buy this product. 3) Education: The flippers (turtles don’t have fins) light up in primary colors to teach colors, and they blink to teach counting. The battery cover is screw locked so your kids aren’t going to pull out the batteries and eat them. 1) Asthetics: It’s cute 2) Safety: It’s easy to put in and take out the required batteries (batteries not included). Y’all need to buy this right here for your kids.
