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.

Your Product Reviews of the Turtle Timer Matter!

It sounds a bit silly to love a timer, but the Turtle Timer does exactly what I wanted and that was hard to find. (9).png

“Completely solved the Tooth Brushing Battle.

She Named it Cindy.

And brushing teeth is a game now.

It’s magic.

I’m amazed.”

This was the review on Etsy from Ramona.

Thank you Ramona.

Any one of these sentences would make for a wonderful review. Put together and they cover all the bases!

  • It solved their problem.

  • Their little Turtle was such a companion they decided to name it!

  • How does it work for them? Not much more than this one word to say how it’s working: “magic”.

  • And how does the mom who took a chance and purchased this toothbrushing timer feel? Amazed.
