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.

Hawaii Likes Sea Turtles

Aloha! Have you ever been to Hawaii? It’s a place where people go, seeking a bit of paradise and, from what I can tell, they find it there! The photos are beautiful—the bright sunlight, the lush flora, the blue sky sea. And Hawaii has sea turtles!

Recently I got an inquiry from a store in Hawaii about the Two Minute Turtle Timer. They had been looking for products to offer that evoke the wonderful scenery of the islands, and thanks to the (good parts of the) Web, they found us! Now, the newest place in the US to carry the Two Minute Turtle Timer is a store on Hawaii with 10 shops called Soha Living. The Turtle Timer will be in their children’s shops.

If you are fortunate enough to find yourself in Hawaii, you may see that store and want to walk in. And if you go in, say “hi” as a friend of the Two Minute Turtle Timer. Let me know if you do go in, what they say, and what you think of the store—and I’ll mail you a Turtle Timer sticker!
