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).

The Original Father's Day Gift

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.

The Original Father's Day Gift

Virginia Berman

What do we need in a fathers’s day gift? Something useful, fun, original. Dad’s want something that will help their children have fun and gain independence.

Here’s the gift—not high tech, no screens, no noise. He hasn’t seen this gift before. The Two Minute Turtle Timer will be dad's new favorite gift. The Two Minute Turtle Timer helps their kids become more independent and healthy. What else can dad ask for? For the dad whose children are older and have moved out of the house, it’s for him too. You're never too old to make toothbrushing fun for the full 2 minutes. Even my 86 year old dad admitted that using the Two Minute Turtle Timer made the 2 minutes go by faster, but he brushed longer and had more fun doing it. Win-win-win.

Available in blue, clear, red and purple online or at Birch Street House and Garden in Roslindale

Made by a dad, for dads. No kids required to enjoy this original 2 minute timer.
