Toothbrush Toys, the children’s oral care brand transforming
brushing into a play-based routine, announced the launch of its Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood Two-Minute Brushing Timer.
Designed for toddlers and preschoolers, the timer brings the trusted, educational world of Daniel Tiger’s
Neighborhood into the daily brushing routine, making brushing feel familiar, comforting, and engaging
for young children.
Learning Oral Care Through Music
The musical timer features beloved characters from the series and two full minutes of the iconic “Brushing Song” and “Good Morning, Daniel Brushing Song,” taking children through the dentist-recommended brushing time. With music and flashing lights, the timer keeps kids engaged from
start to finish while reinforcing consistent oral hygiene habits at home.
“Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood is known for teaching routines in a way kids truly connect with,” said Nicolette Warren, founder of Toothbrush Toys. “By incorporating the brushing songs into our timer, we’re giving families a tool that feels familiar, educational, and effective. It turns brushing from a daily struggle into something kids actually look forward to.”
Built on the success of the original Toothbrush Toys Timer used by thousands of families nationwide, this new release expands the brand’s mission to support early childhood development through play-based habits. By combining entertainment with dental hygiene, the timer helps parents establish strong and positive oral care routines during the most formative years.
Soon to be in its 8th season on PBS KIDS, Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood is co-produced by Fred Rogers
Productions and 9 Story Media Group with animation by award-winning studio Brown Bag Films.
“We’re giving families a tool that feels familiar, educational, and effective. It turns brushing from a daily struggle into something kids actually look forward to.”
