What gave me the idea to write about this was reading a Tooth Brushing Hint over at Dadventure. Are you having trouble getting your kids to learn about brushing their teeth? My daughter came home from school one day with a new toothbrush, floss, and some toothpaste. Also in the little packet was a little plastic hour glass. What a cool idea. You tip it over and the sand falls through the contraption for 3 minutes. That is how long you need to brush your teeth for.
Well, let me tell ya, that hour glass was quite the hit in this family. All the kids lined right up to take turns flipping that hour glass.
My oldest daughter would wake up in the middle of the night to go brush her teeth. While she was away at school my younger ones would go into the bathroom and brush their teeth together. It wasn’t about the teeth though, it was about watching the sand fall for 3 minutes.
So if you are having trouble getting your kids to brush their teeth, try a 3 minute hour glass that is roughly 2 inches tall. Works like a charm!
