A Turtle Timer in Every Room in the House

The Two Minute Turtle Turtle Timer is designed for toothbrushing. And yet, the Turtle Timer is for more than toothbrushing! As you may know, the Turtle Timer sticks to the mirror so it’s convenient for toothbrushing. With a simple press of the soft green Turtle shell, the flippers light up. The toothbrushing game gets started—brush the corner of the mouth corresponding to each flipper that flashes, one corner at a time. Before you know it, 2 minutes is up and we, kids and adults, feel pride in brushing our teeth for 2 minutes.

In the bathroom the Turtle Timer is also handy, in the shower. Have you heard about the benefits of cold showers? Reliable sources tell me they are good for our health (more on that later). At the end of your warm shower, press the Turtle and have a cold shower for 30 seconds and work your way up to 2 Turtle Minutes!

The BATHROOM is just the beginning. The Two Minute Turtle Timer works for other tasks in other rooms. Morning calisthenics —bring your Turtle to stretch, 30 seconds per stretch or repetition. And at your home office, when you need a pause, and think, let Turtle Timer take you there. Before a presentation, push the Turtle Timer and breathe for 2 quiet minutes to center yourself.

The Turtle Timer also works to help children with conversations. Does someone in your home need to remember to let others speak at the dinner table? Press a timer at the end of their “turn”. On the other hand, does someone in your home need a nudge to speak more? Give that child a Turtle Timer to speak while their Turtle Timer flashes.

Grown-ups, are you learning a new healthy habit? A proven way to start a habit is to start small and consistently, with just 2 minutes. That’s enough to get started on a new habit.

How many rooms in your house? That’s how many Turtle Timers your home needs— in EVERY room for every BODY!
