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).

Give Your Valentine the Gift of your Time & Attention

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.

Give Your Valentine the Gift of your Time & Attention

Dear Two Minute Turtle Timer Friends,

We believe that romance and love are always within our grasp and fostered by taking time to pay attention to the ones we love. The Two Minute Turtle Timer can stoke our love and intimacy. The Two Minute Turtle Timer is one way to take just 2 minutes -to focus solely each other. By giving even 2 minutes to sit together, looking in each other’s eyes, we connect and see each other with more empathy and that empathy and seeing is the spark that ignites a little love. Try it out—take 2 minutes to look into the eyes of a loved one. See how these 2 minutes can stop time and transform you.

This Valentine’s Day, give a new gift of the Two Minute Turtle Timer and we will include a hand-written note with words you choose or our muse, to give along with your Two Minute Turtle Timer. Available at Birch Street House and Garden in Boston. OR Order by end of today, Monday Feb 10, 2020.

Here’s to paying attention and shining light on a little love.

Sincerely, slow and steady, and with Turtle Love, Virginia CEO Invent Boston
