'Frozen' Takes Brushing Kids' Teeth to the Next Level + *Giveaway*

Kristen Bell (aka Anna) shows off "Frozen" toothpaste and a toothbrush.

Congrats to Katrina, who won the "Frozen" Crest + Oral-B Pro Health Jr. prize pack! Thanks to everyone who participated and for the great toothbrushing tips!

We all know how hard it is to get our kids to brush their teeth.
CC brushes with Oral-B JR. and Crest.

While CC and Will are in the habit of brushing twice a day, they could still use some incentive to brush for the full two minutes.

Enter "Frozen," Crest + Oral-B Pro-Health JR. and a cool new Disney Magic Timer app that occupies kids while they brush -- so they're not just watching sand fall in a tiny hourglass.

Because that's not exactly, well, fun.

CC and Will had the chance to try out two Disney-themed electric toothbrushes from Oral-B Pro-Health JR. and the new minty "Frozen" toothpaste from Crest.

When Will discovered that he could have his own electric toothbrush, he went a little crazy for it. The toothbrush, shaped as a Cinderella figure, became a new favorite toy. (Look out, Thomas and Chuggington!)

Will and Cinderella
"I want Cinda-lella," he's been saying in the mornings and before bed.

CC had lots of fun with her Ariel-themed electric toothbrush, too. Those definitely help increase the time they spend on their teeth.

What I would definitely recommend is the app, which offers up a fun little video for kids to watch while they brush. Let's just say, Olaf's in it.

And if they're still not convinced, check out the video below, with Kristen Bell (aka the voice of Anna in "Frozen").

  4. My youngest's favorite character is Olaf. We love Frozen in our house! I guess I'm a mean mom, cause I make my kids brush for 5 minutes. Haha. But I figure if they brush 5 minutes minutes, then they spend at least 2 minutes ACTUALLY brushing, not playing or chewing on the toothbrush.

  10. It's good that they're at least getting a brush in twice a day! Although, I do like the idea of the timer. My kids are around the age of five and three, do you think this would be something to try on them? They love getting rewarded for doing something good, but I'm not sure brushing should deserve a reward. This is why I'm hoping that your timer idea works, do you have anything I could try along with it? http://www.feigedenture.ca/services.html
