I participated in this sponsored campaign on behalf of Firefly®, REACH®, andOne2One Network. All opinions stated are my own.
We know that taking care of our teeth is important, and we try to teach that to our kids. Even so, it’s not always easy getting them to brush their teeth. Shane just finished a school year with 180 days and every single one of those days, he tried to “forget” to brush his teeth. And every night? He tried to “forget” to do it then, too.
Recently, we noticed we haven’t had to ask him as often to brush his teeth- he has been doing it without reminding! So what changed? Two things: I made him a fun bedtime routine chart, and he got a majorly fun upgrade- the Firefly Kylo Ren Lightsaber!
The Firefly Kylo Ren Lightsaber lights up for 60 seconds, which helps him to remember to brush for a full minute on each row of teeth. Character voices, memorable movie quotes, flashing lights and lightsaber sound effects encourage him to conquer the battle against the dark side of cavities each morning and night! Instead of feeling like he’s doing a boring old chore, he feels like he’s playing- the toothbrush has turned brushing time into playtime!
Shane also got something that he hasn’t really used because he’s just now old enough for it- mouth rinse! We received the new Firefly Spiderman Fun Pump Rinse which is Melon flavored and tastes delicious! {Yes, I taste tested it!} One of my favorite things is that it comes with a no-mess cup built right in to make sure Shane uses the right amount and doesn’t spill it all over my sink. The rinse is sugar-free and alcohol free, so I can let him use it without worry.
He’s not the only one who got an upgrade- I got a pair of the REACH Advanced Design Toothbrush and they are perfect for me! The bristles are sturdy enough to get the job done but soft enough that they don’t hurt my sensitive gums. The bristles came to a point on the top that made it super easy for me to reach behind my wisdom teeth, something that isn’t always easy because I have a really small mouth and it is pretty crowded back there. Justin got the REACH Ultra Clean Toothbrush and he loves that one, too!
If you’re struggling to get your kids to follow the bedtime routine, I have the perfect printable for you! You can print this out and use it as a poster to serve as a reminder or you can laminate or frame it and use a dry erase marker to create a chart! You can download the chart for free here. {Does your routine look different than ours? Grab a blank version here.}
