Invent Boston designs and develops original products to add science + whimsy to  every day tasks at home.   Our first product is a Two Minute timer, Two Minute Turtle, a visual timer. The Two Minute Turtle helps children and adults focus on two minute tasks such as brushing teeth, physical therapy, taking a shower and speaking (practicing a presentation or learning a language).

What Do You Want in your Two Minute Turtle Timer™?

Invent Boston™, Home of the Two Minute Turtle Timer™

Invent Boston™ blog offers tips and stories by parents, for parents of children ages 4-12 to make toothbrushing and other healthy habits at home, more fun. We write about simple tactics to help kids do what they like to do-touch, seeing, play games and strive for independence. We recommend products to help stay healthy while being kids. We share stories to transform daily healthy habits from something kids resist (for example, toothbrushing, handwashing, toilet training, organizing, taking time-out or pausing, yoga, and taking turns) into something children are motivated to do independently, without parents’ reminders. The original physical product Invent Boston has designed for families is the new light-up Two Minute Turtle Timer, an analog, interval toothbrush timer to make brushing teeth fun for kids. Kids like to press the button, follow the flippers and brush until all the lights blink—the Victory Lap signals to brush the tongue.

Two Minute Turtle Timer

As we develop the next version of the Two Minute Turtle, we would like to know what you need. What task, what animal, how long would be most useful for your visual timer?

Dear Turtlers, Will you help design the next version of  the Two Minute Turtle?   We think it's time to add another "flavor" of the Two Minute Turtle.  What would you like to have for your day? What daily task could most benefit from a visual light-up timer?  How many minutes long would you like the timer to be? 

Find the 3 question survey.  Give your 2 cents in 2 minutes.  This will help us decide what you like-- a 5 Minute Frog or a Hare Hair?   Share your ideas and we will read, gather and create the next product in a line of visual timers.   

As always, thanks for being slow and steady with the Turtle Team.  

With gratitude , Virginia

Like with doughnuts, so with timers, variety is nice! 

variety is the spice of life.
