In all seriousness, if your toddler gets super excited about toothbrushing like mine, or if you have a baby who has no clue what a stocking even is, then the Nuby Oral Care Set and Toddler Training Toothpaste & Toothbrush would make for some great stuffing for those stockings this season. We've been using these items for the past few months and are total fans!
Nolan has been actively brushing his teeth since he was a baby, and we've never had much of an issue with him hating it. He loves imitating and brushing by himself now that he's older, and the Toddler Toothbrush has an easy grip handle which is the perfect size for his little hand to make it easy for those "I do it, Mommy!" moments. He loves the bright colors and design and when given the choice between the slew of toothbrushes we have collected, it's always the first he chooses. The soft bristles are gentle on his teeth and gums, which is nice whether he is brushing himself or I'm in control, because I don't have to worry about brushing too hard and hurting his gums.
He uses his Toddler Toothbrush with the coordinating All Natural Toddler Training Toothpaste, which is actually both of our favorites! It's an easy open/close flip top tube that has been pretty mess-free for us, even when Nolan squeezes it himself. The taste is pleasant for him in a fun, tutti frutti flavored gel, is safe if swallowed and is fluoride free and non-toxic. I love that it has a fresh smell to it, unlike other kid's toothpastes that have "fun" flavors but also leave a weird after smell on their breath (not cute)! Even better, this formula is All Natural, made in the USA, and is BPA Free, which leaves me with one less thing to worry about what's going in his body!
Both the Toddler Toothbrush and All Natural Toddler Training Toothpaste can be found at the following retailers:
For Acelyn, even though she doesn't have any teeth yet (we're working on it!), we still want to introduce brushing her teeth to her at an early age and set up a good brushing routine. I like to let both kids have their toothbrushes during bath time, where Nolan likes to do his own thing and Acelyn absolutely loves to gnaw on her brushes. With the 4-Stage Oral Care Set, a full set of brushes are provided from ages birth to 3+ years, ranging from a silicone fingertip brush for newborns to three different brushes for increasing ages and teeth maturity as baby grows. They are the perfect size, and even though Acelyn thinks she's just getting a good teething session in, she's really also protecting her primary teeth, too. After she's done playing, usually when I'm dressing her, I like to run the brush through her gums a few times, accompanied with the All Natural Baby Tooth & Gum Cleaner, to get a quick but thorough brush through. She enjoys the Vanilla Milk flavor, and I'm again satisfied with the all natural, fluoride free & non-toxic formula that she's taking in, and especially thankful that it's safe if swallowed! The tube is small and perfect for travel or simple storage in the medicine cabinet or on the changing table.

Let Santa start a new tradition this year, like he'll be doing in our home, and leave some practical gifts with the fun ones, too! I love that a simple toothbrush can be as exciting as candy for Nolan, and Santa will be taking advantage of this for as looooonnnng as possible!
