Healthy Stocking Stuffer: Dr. Fresh Float’n Firefly with Feet

No matter how many times you try to enforce it, dental hygiene will always be #8,536 (give or take) on your kids’ list of daily priorities. Of course, that’s not to say you shouldn’t keep trying — and with a gadget like the Float’n Firefly with Feet toothbrush on hand, you might find that your job as chief toof inspector just got a little easier.

The Float’n Firefly with Feet has the same core feature as its foot-less sibling: Kids press the handle, and the light-up timer blinks for 60 seconds to indicate the recommended brushing time. (As my kids have discovered, the timer also makes it fun to brush your teeth “spooky style” in the dark.) Thanks to its chubby, foot-shaped stand, the Float’n Firefly with Feet also lets you store the brush upright to avoid contact with the sink and other toothbrushes — as well as to dry faster.

The Float’n Firefly with Feet is available at mass retailers everywhere, including Target, Walmart, Walgreens and Big Lots. Of course, if you’re like me and you plan to avoid retail stores until after the post-Thanksgiving rush, you can also get the brush for $2.99 direct from Firefly.
