Children and adults alike sometimes need help maintaining good toothbrushing habits. Experts suggest you brush for two minutes twice a day, but most people don’t come close to that. The Toothy Toothbrush Timer will help you get those recommended 120 seconds each time you brush. When the toothbrush is lifted from the holder, the teeth start chomping and continue cheering you on until your time is up. When the teeth finally come to a stop, just replace the toothbrush to turn it off. See the full project at Makezine.com.
