I always put a new toothbrush in my daughter’s Christmas stocking. It’s been a tradition since she was old enough to brush. My only problem this year is that I don’t think I can top the toothbrush she already has! Maya uses the Tooth Tunes Junior, and LOVES it. I’m not sure if she’ll be able to go back to a normal toothbrush ever again!
The Tooth Tunes Junior is especially designed for little hands and mouths. It plays one minute of preschool-friendly music, in our case “The Bear Necessities” from The Jungle Book. It also give encouragement with short motivational phrases here and there – as she begins to brush her teeth, in the middle of the cycle, and at the end to reward her for brushing.
It’s amazing how this works. It uses patented Denta-Mandibular Sound Transmission technology which transmits songs and music vibrations from the bristles, through the teeth, to the inner ear. And yes, you can really hear the music in your head. I had to try the toothbrush for myself. I didn’t actually brush with it, but I did touch the bristles to my teeth. Amazing! It was like the music was suddenly amplified.
The Tooth Tunes Junior is for ages 3 and up, and retails for $9.99. The Turbo Tooth Tunes costs about the same, but is for ages 6 and up. What’s the difference between the two? The Turbo Tooth Tunes plays two minutes of music – that’s the amount of time generally recommended by dentists. The music selection is more varied, with everything from Miley Cyrus to Rihanna, and even Queen! You can find these on Amazon.com, at Wal-Mart, Toys ‘R Us, you know – all the usual places you shop.

What a great idea.
One thing that goes in everyone’s stocking (even mine and DHs) is small things of play doh. it is always a hit and makes everyone happy to sit and make things play with them in after we have a warm filling breakfast.

We also always put toothbrushes in the kids stockings — just like my mom oops I mean Santa did for me. Would love to put one of these brushes in! Santa also puts in fun bandaids, last year it was Hello Kitty for my daughter and NASCAR for my son.
My daughter turns two next month, so she was a little too young for a stocking last year. She would appreciate it this year, but I dont think we can afford stockings. We can’t get a tree, either. This economy sucks. 🙁 But, she looooooooves brushing her teeth, so this would be a great present for her.
JONAS BROTHERS???

I would love this for my 7 year old grandson who seems to think you can brush your teeth in 6 seconds. This would help him brush a little better. Thank you!
I always do the toothbrush to and came onto your site because I was going to get this toothbrush for this years stocking and wanted to see what kind of music it played for kids. In addition to the brushes I always put acceptable treat snacks that the kids can eat for breakfast so they don’t have to stop opening up gifts to eat.
We usually put candy and very small gifts in Christmas stockings. Once i got a $100 bill in mine.

We put little things like candy, small toys, etc in the stockings. Candy? See a toothbrush would come in handy!
We always put a toothbrush, toothpaste, body wash, candy, ornament, socks and three or four fun things. This toothbrush would be really great in one of the kids’ stockings! Thank you for offering this great giveaway! rhonda (at) acedesignstudio (dot ) com
