Little Toothbrushing Turtle Timer is Pulling its Weight

This review from KL in Cleveland Ohio must be seen.

Thank you to KL for taking time to post this 5-star review on a large e-commerce site, March 2021! We are so glad the Two Minute Turtle Timer is working for you all, and thank you for your customer reviews!

“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….complete silence for two minutes. The different (turtle) 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. 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. 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. 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 moments of peace in the nightly bedtime routine.”

While we are not addressing society’s biggest problems like economic inequality and systemic racism, there is real value in a moment of peace for parents at bedtime. That’s our role and the little Turtle Timer is pulling her weight. Thanks to all who write helpful reviews :).
