To help kids remember to brush longer, Sunstar’s GUM® brand has come up with a fun and colorful light-up toothbrush.  The Crayola Timer Light Toothbrush has colorful lights in the handle that when activated by pushing the button, flash for 60-seconds to encourage kids to brush longer.  The Crayola toothbrush is available in blue, red, green, and yellow. 

The Crayola Timer Light Toothbrush is recommended by dental hygienists and is said to increase brushing time with the help of its flashing light.  The brush also has a suction cup base which kids find fun to stick on different places, but also helps to keep the bristles clean.
