Hygiene-Teaching Devices

TrendyKid's Wash & Brush Timer Teaches Children to Slow Down

— March 9, 2011 — Life-Stages
It's safe to assume that many children hate the chore of cleaning up (especially when it comes to cleaning their own bodies), but with the help of the Wash & Brush Timer, that might all change. Although it might not be able to physically get your kid into the washroom to wash or brush their teeth, it will encourage them to do it properly rather than race through it.

Brought to you by TrendyKid, the Wash & Brush Timer times your tot as he or she brushes and washes his or her hands and teeth. Set at 2 minutes for brushing and 20 seconds for washing hands, the piece makes the process of washing up a fun game that kids will love.

You can easily make nightly cleaning something your kids look forward to with the Wash & Brush Timer.
