As a mom it’s important for me to teach my kids everything they need to know to be successful in life. One thing I feel that it’s important for them to have is good hygiene.
One lesson that has taken a little bit for them to learn is to brush their teeth right. A few weeks ago we were sent a device called Playbrush which makes brushing fun.
The Playbrush is a bluetooth device that attaches to a manual toothbrush. Once attached to the toothbrush, the Playbrush and toothbrush together turn in to game controller. The motion sensor within the device will monitor and record how your child brushes their teeth and offer rewards for brushing twice daily.
Before we could us Playbrush we had to start by downloading the special games on our cell phone. Playbrush is used with the games and encourages the girls to brush their teeth correctly in order to earn points within the game. The games are free to download. The Playbrush can hold unto to 6 profiles so there is no need for 1 per child.
About the games:
Utoothia and Utoothia Sky
The players will have to travel through 12 counties to collect the 12 teeth. Each country of Utoothia represents a new level and you have to achieve various tasks and rewards to win back the teeth.
Utoothia Magic
The goal of this game is to put as many Crobies as possible to flight! The tooth monsters are coming closer and closer if you do not brush your teeth. If you start brushing one of the respective sides however, you fight them with your laser. Your laser is as powerful that whilst you are fighting one of the Crobies the others freeze.
Playbrush is easy to use! It connects to your cellphone via bluetooth and will fit most manual toothbrushes. Simply insert the toothbrush and align the head with the arrows on the playbrush. Connect your device to your cellphone and start having fun!
I think Playbrush is perfect for little kids. The games are fun and helps encourage them to brush their teeth correctly. The only thing I wish is that there was more games for them to play.

This is great! I need to get this for my 7 year old, its astruggle every single time to brush his teeth. Maybe this would help.

Oh, my goodness! That sounds so fun! My kids definitely need a little incentive to brush longer and better.

I know many kids sure do love their games and apps. I haven’t seen anything quite like this before.

If they learn to brush right early on, they’ll carry that good habit with them. I love this!
