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.

When Was Your Last Visit to the Dentist?
Virginia Berman
During this pandemic one piece of good news is many of us have more time to take care of our daily healthy habits, like toothbrushing. And that’s all the more important when dentists are only just opening up. How are your teeth feeling? Have you been to the dentist yet? I went.
Are you taking the 2 minutes to brush each time you brush? We can do this. It is important now more than ever to brush well because brushing teeth, keeping cavities away, helps to keep our immune system strong. A healthy mouth is one way to maintain a healthy immune system—keeping bad bacteria from growing in the mouth.
I still like that feeling of having my teeth cleaned and then to hear “no cavities”. What a relief! I did got to the dentist since Corona and I got that good news, “no cavities!”. I say it’s partly thanks to my Two Minute Turtle Timer I use every time I brush. Now you’re never too old to enjoy a new, useful timer. Get yourself or your parents the gift of a healthy mouth.
The Two Minute Turtle Timer is on sale on our website, and Etsy and Amazon.
