We look for a way to help parents, kids, and adults by turning a task we have to do into something we LIKE to do. Making success very likely in a vital daily activity is InventBoston’s Sweet Spot!

Welcome to our first product, the Two Minute Turtle Timer for toothbrushing. The Turtle-Timer design has count-down turtle flippers; each one blinks 30 seconds. Kids like to press the soft green turtle shell and guess which flipper will blink first—the random start makes it a game, as in Simon Says. The guided flippers give kids a turtle-foot to focus on. Each succeeding flipper blinks faster than the previous one, building momentum. When the two minutes are up, all lights blink as a signal to brush the tongue. The victory lap of simultaneous blinking celebrates the completion of toothbrushing and keeps kids coming back for the fun of more turtle success.

No more nagging. No relying on another device at bedtime. No more expensive toothbrushes. This simple Turtle Timer design, made for kids’ little, wet hands will bring a sparkle to more than just their smiles. Feel their pride in their success brushing teeth for 2 minutes with their adorable Turtle Timers.
