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).

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.

This St Patrick's Day Give a Lucky Turtle!

Looking for a good gift for your child for St Patrick’s Day? We have an original gift that is:

  • The Color Green, of course

  • Lucky

  • Delightful

  • Bright and shine

The Two Minute Turtle Timer is a St. Patrick’s Day gift you and your child will love. The Toothbrushing Turtle Timer turns the daily chore of toothbrushing into a playful game. What’s more whimsical than a blinking, interval turtle timer? And when you go to the dentist you’ll feel very lucky!

How could this be a gift for you too? When you no longer need to remind your child to brush their teeth or stay in the bathroom brushing for 2 minutes, this is a gift for parents, indeed! Take it from us. We learned that when kids have their own Turtle Timer, toothbrushing becomes the kids’ own game, their project and they enjoy taking charge of brushing. They like to, then, brush their whole mouths, thoroughly for 2 minutes! Luck indeed favors the prepared!
