Firefly products encourage kids to brush longer!

by Elizabeth on February 1, 2010

Getting kids to brush their teeth is hard enough, then we parents have to get them to brush their teeth long enough to actually get them clean. Thanks to Firefly, we got to sample toothbrushes that are fun for kids to use and encourage them to brush longer!  Firefly’s line of toothbrushes are sized just for little hands, have fun characters, and best of all, feature a blinking light at the base of the handle that blinks for one minute, which is the minimum amount of time kids should spend brushing their teeth.

Included in our sample package were Firefly toothbrushes that looked like Spiderman climbing up a wall, plain solid colored toothbrushes in single and two-packs, and some with clear handles filled with liquid, glitter, and a tiny character, like a little snowglobe. Kaitlyn claimed one for herself that’s pink with a little princess inside the handle, and for Nathan’s best friend who sleeps over here a lot, we set aside the toothbrush with the clear handle and a little chef inside holding a pizza.

The Firefly product line also includes bubblegum flavored toothpaste, Kids’ Flossers, and mouthwash with a cap that blinks so kids swish it around long enough it’s called MouthSwoosh, so cute). It has never been so easy to get my kids to brush their teeth!  There’s only one downside – the batteries in the toothbrushes aren’t replaceable, so when it stops blinking, you have to throw it out. According to the website, there’s an Eco-Friendly toothbrush coming soon that I would assume will be recyclable, so watch for that.

Thanks again, Firefly for introducing our family to your products and getting my kids to brush their teeth longer!

this is a very good idea, and Firefly just brought the innovation. As a parent I believe that it’s helpful when everything and every item dealing with kids must be from their “world”, so the kids shall use it.
