Are you having a hard time having kids brush their teeth? Do they remember to brush teeth twice a day? Do they brush for two minutes every time? If you are looking for some help in getting kids to brush teeth or brush for long enough, here is a FREE app for you.
Time2Brush is a fun app that helps kids (or adults) remember to brush teeth every day, and more importantly to brush for at least two minutes every time.
When you start the app, you see this cute toothpaste shaped figure, whose name is Nurdle. Nurdle will give the kids a quick direction on how to brush all parts of their teeth. Once the kids hit the start button, a timer will start to count down for two minutes with a song playing. The song is so catchy that kids can dance to the music. The lyrics reinforce the message of twice a day and brushing for two minutes. At one minute into the brushing, the screen will show a message “switch sides”.
Each time the kids finish the 2-minute brushing, they earn points that they can use to “buy” clothes for the Nurdle. This is a good rewarding system parents can leverage to encourage kids remember brushing teeth every day.
iGameMom Comments:
There could be so many reasons that kids are not brushing teeth twice a day or not brushing long enough: they don’t like doing it, they are too busy on other stuff, or they don’t know how long two minutes is. Time2Brush is a fun way to help kids (and parents) to remember doing it and doing it right. The only caution: make sure keep your iPhone, iPod, or iPAD away from water, or find a water proof case for it.
If you don’t have an iPhone, iPod or iPAD, you can download the catchy song from their website. On the website there are also FREE printable activities for different age groups.
Time2Brush works on iPhone, iPod, and iPAD. It is FREE on App Store.

It’s actually a interesting as well as useful part of facts. My business is thankful for you to contributed this convenient information and facts along with us. You should keep us well informed in this way. Appreciate your sharing.
This is awesome because all kids have an issue with how long they brush their teeth. To them 1 minute seems like a long time. If you have a song or something fun to do while you brush your teeth, it makes the time go by a lot faster. Thanks for sharing!
I felt sometime it is hard for me to estimate how long is 2 minutes 🙂 the song definitely helps.
Thanks for this. My kids love it – and can’t stop singing the silly song! 🙂
Great! It is a fun app.
What a great idea for an app! I will check this one out for sure. Thanks for the review and the tip.
I wish I found it earlier!
Oh this sounds like great fun! What a great idea for an app.
It is, makes brush teeth a whole new experience – for kids at least.
