Trying to Make Teeth Brushing Fun
This paid post is brought to you by the new free Oral-B Disney Timer App as part of a Type-A Parent Community Sponsored Post.Tooth brushing has never been so important in our household. Jordan has more and more grown up teeth and Cameron has braces. It's so important to make sure the kids brush their teeth in the morning and the evening (and Cameron really should brush at other times of the day).Nagging can only go so far.Enter Oral-B's Disney Magic Timer. As a family that loves playing with all kinds of apps, it makes sense to give this one a try. The application works for phones or tablets using iOS or Android systems. It give kids motivation that works with Oral-B's line of tooth brushes and toothpastes. Once you create a profile for the kids, you connect the profile to a Disney-themed toothbrush or toothpaste. You just wave the camera over the product... And BOOM, magic. I love how this app has gotten a lot of buzz in the media even before I had a chance to share details about it here on Born Just Right. I mentioned tooth brushing challenges online last month and a friend brought this app up without any prompting. I guess it helped me realize this free app may be worth the try. Jordan loved the idea and was ready to jump in and connect the app to her Ariel toothbrush.
Each time you connected the app to a toothbrush or toothpaste, the app bubbles up and gives your tooth-brusher two minutes to uncover a picture that matches the toothbrush or toothpaste theme.
The two minute timer and a tooth brush brushing the screen kept Jordan focused on her goal.
Since we connected to an Ariel toothbrush, Jordan uncovered a Little Mermaid-themed picture.
After a completed tooth brushing session, Jordan earned a digital sticker. She has a chance to earn 24 different stickers for the Ariel character. That's 12 days of brushing twice a day with something new to watch. There's a new digital sticker book for every character the app connects to with a different toothbrush or toothpaste.
The app has all kinds of different character options and the potential to hold attention and motivation for kids in many different ways. Along with stickers, we can follow a calendar that tracks each time Jordan brushes her teeth. Jordan actually went to bed looking forward to the chance to try the app out all over again... And woke up ready to try it out again in the morning.
