From Dr. Fresh, a leader in children’s oral care, comes a family of light-up timer character toothbrushes. Choose the original colorful and sparkly FireFly, baby FireFly, Barbie, Hot Wheels, Spider-Man, or the new Peanuts model.
Each lights up at the touch of a button and flashes for one minute; the time dentists say is needed to thoroughly brush each row of teeth.
The flashy FireFly family includes:
* Original FireFly: A brightly colored toothbrush with a flashing light that blinks to indicate how long a child should brush each row of teeth, top and bottom. Try it in “disco mode” with lights off! SRP $.99
* Baby FireFly: Babies love color and light. This toothbrush, which comes in baby pink and baby blue, lights up and flashes to keep a baby distracted while the mother brushes the teeth. Sized for baby and toddler's mouth. SRP $2.49
* Barbie: The legendary doll and original FireFly’s chic cousin. The light blinks pink to match Barbie’s dress. SRP $2.99
* Spiderman: The superhero alter-ego of the FireFly, the brush defends against the dark forces of cavities. SRP $2.99
* Hot Wheels: Auto-motivate a child to brush longer and better. This toothbrush features the classic toy car and puts kids in the driver’s seat when it comes to good hygiene. SRP $2.99
* Peanuts: Snoopy is now tooth brushing’s best friend. The winsome canine from the iconic comic strip sits atop this colorful toothbrush. SRP $2.49
