Two Minute Turtle Timers for Siblings Brushing Teeth

Siblings benefit from brushing teeth with the Two Minute Turtle Timer!

Are you raising siblings? Do you remember what it was like when you were a child at bedtime and brushing teeth? Did you brush with your sibling? Working in a small space — a bathroom, at bedtime — takes cooperation! I brushed my teeth alone but my kids brush together.

When siblings are at their best, they, we, share and because we know each other so well we can lift each other up in ways that takes more time for friends to figure out. But being a cooperative sibling takes practice!

The Two Minute Turtle Timer is one way to help siblings practice cooperating with each other. How to boost sibling bonds with a toothbrushing timer, the Two Minute Turtle Timer? Here are 2 ways:

Kids Share their Two Minute Turtle Timer.

  • Synchronized toothbrushing! Some children like to race each other (not realizing they are using the same lights and time). Each child does like to press the start button. Take turns each time.

  • Siblings share their Two Minute Turtle Timer but brush at different times. They share the experience (and good brushing habits) but on their own time.

    Each Child Has Their Own Two Minute Turtle Timer.

  • They each get to keep their Two Minute Turtle Timer where and how they like it. Sometimes kids like to hold onto the Turtle Timer. With their own Turtle Timer, they can do as they like!

How would the Two Minute Turtle Timer help your siblings with their bedtime or morning brushing teeth routine? I hope you give it a try. I promise you-your satisfaction is guaranteed!
