*contest closed*Firefly Toothbrush *Giveaway!*
Tuesday, April 21, 2009 Posted by The Mom Jen
Kid's FireFly Blinking Toothbrush 42 mm Lights up for 60 seconds when you push up on the bottom of the brush. Educates children in proper brushing habits. Made with 3 non-replaceable batteries.
Kids Comply to Firefly.
--Educates children in proper brushing habits
--Soft bristles
--Flashes for 60 seconds, then turns off automatically
--Squeeze end of toothbrush and push up simultaneously to activate the light timer.
Our take: Our family loves these toothbrushes. Before braces and an electric toothbrush, my oldest didn't want to take time away from her activities to keep her teeth clean. My younger two are the same way! But I promised them it would only take "a minute" literally to clean their teeth and prevent cavaties! They took on my challenge! My 3 year old thinks it's a race to get the tops, bottoms, sides, insides of all her teeth before the light stops flashing! Also it's taken away from the loads-of-toothpaste issue I was having. Now they are more focused on the Clean Teeth Race we have thanks to Firefly Toothbrushes!
You have a chance to try them out for yourself, two lucky readers will each get one (1) Firefly Toothbrush!

I always struggle with my kids to brush properly. It seems like they just skim over the top and don't really brush well.
Thanks for the contest!

It's a struggle everyday to get my kids to brush their teeth. I have to buy "fun" toothbrushes to make it a little easier to talk them into it.
April 21, 2009 2:29 PM
The older kids don't brush long enough and the toddler doesn't want to brush at all - just wants to eat toothpaste and bite on the toothbrush!

Tooth struggles you bet!
Mine is older now and paying the price for not doing as good a job on his teeth as he should have.
This toothbrush would be great for my young niece so she won't have as many cavities by brushing right.

My biggest problem is the flood they make in the bathroom every time. Water all over the counter, floor, and splashed on the mirror!
April 22, 2009 7:19 AM
My biggest issue is getting the kids to floss correctly.
April 22, 2009 7:29 AM
The biggest issue in our house is my 7 year old grandson. He goes into the bathroom to brush his teeth and in a quick 10 seconds says he's done. We are really working on that. Thank you!

We actually found one of these at Target and my son loved it, till it broke, and then we couldn't find them so had to just get a plain brush...they work really well!
April 22, 2009 8:30 AM
my son would love this and he needs a little help he's just a bit too gentle with his brushing

our struggle is getting them to cooperate when it's time to brush their teeth
April 22, 2009 11:53 AM
They're pretty good about brushing but have trouble getting them to brush long enough and well enough! NO cavities here at least!
April 22, 2009 12:16 PM
My 6 old likes to brush his teeth. He saw a ole' man take his false teeth out when He was 3! And the ole' man told him that would happen if he didn't keep his teeth clean, so I have never had a problem with the issue of brushing teeth. * The firefly brush would make it more fun for him. tasardina@yahoo.com

Both of my girls are very good about brushing their teeth everyday.
The main struggle I have is with my 3yo daughter. She loves her toothbrush. When it comes time to get a new one she hates it. She wants to keep the one she has.
April 22, 2009 1:55 PM
My daughter HATES brushing her teeth. This could help. Thanks for the chance.

Actually, we don't have issues when it comes to brushing our kids' teeth. They love it! (We always buy them fun character toothbrushes and toothpaste, which helps a lot!)
April 23, 2009 8:50 PM
The struggle I have is my youngest likes to brush his teeth, as long as there is no toothpaste on the brush!!!!!!!!!! msurosey@yahoo.com
April 24, 2009 4:07 PM
My poor son has to stay on top of brushing his teeth. The dentist told us that there is something in his saliva that causes tooth decay. He's had to have alot of work done, but thankfully he hasn't had many toothaches or had to have any "cosmetic" type work done!

My biggest problem with time to brush teeth is that the one year old hates the taste of the toothpaste and struggles agaist the brushing.
April 26, 2009 9:18 PM
Sometimes my son tries to pretend he brushed his teeth when he didn't! He hasn't figured out yet how I know. (if your toothbrush is dry, you didn't brush your teeth!)
April 27, 2009 4:01 AM
would be good for my grandchildren

I have a hard time getting my daughter to keep her teeth brushed. When I was pregnant for her it killed my teeth and I try to show her what will happen if she doesnt take care of her teeth.
April 27, 2009 11:26 PM
My dd definitely does not brush long enough. This brush would be perfect!
April 27, 2009 11:49 PM
With new teeth coming in it seems like it always "hurts" to brush properly. Maybe with a fun toothbrush it wouldn't seem to hurt so much.
April 28, 2009 12:22 AM
I swear he brushes for 15 seconds, spits, and were done! This way if he sees that he has to brush until the blinking is down, MAYBE he will brush longer...haha
Thanks for the great giveaway =)

It's a struggle having to remind others to brush their teeth.
April 28, 2009 7:12 AM
My daughter "forgets" to brush, even after being reminded several times. It's to the point we have to sit in the bathroom with her to get her to brush (and on occasion, daddy has had to brush her teeth because she procrastinates!).
April 28, 2009 8:56 AM
My son will only use one toothpaste. If I buy one that is on sale that week, he just doesn't want to use it. He will fuss until I buy him his favorite toothpaste.
April 28, 2009 11:53 AM
