**I am re-publishing this post because my letter to Family Fun made it into the latest issue. Hello Family Fun readers! Thanks for visiting my blog!
My son is a HUGE (as in Argentinasaurus-sized) dinosaur fan! So when Family Fun magazine's August 2012 issue arrived and I found this idea, I got right to it.
I bought two plastic, hollow dinosaurs at the dollar store. (My kids would need their own. I couldn't imagine sharing something this cool.) Then I used a kitchen knife to carve a hold in the top and one on the bottom (for the icky stuff to drip out).
It really was quite easy to do. And the pay-off was big.
Both my son and daughter were THRILLED with their new toothbrush holders.
One month later, they are still eager brushers. Yay!
What a cool project!!! And WHAT cute kids!!! :-)
ReplyDeleteI so often visit your blog and wonder whether I could get away with making some of your kiddy projects for my self (despite the fact that there are no kids in our house)..... ;-)

ReplyDeleteThis is flippin' genius! So simple and yet so fun! I found your blog via Shins on Fridays hop, and now following :) Having a hop at my blog too, if you'd care to join: http://jessica-healthymommyhealthybaby.blogspot.com/2012/09/sweet-saturday-19-my-lily-is-growing-up.html
ReplyDeleteHave a nice weekend!
Oh, P.S. totally pinned this @jkpherson!
ReplyDeleteomg what an absolutely amazing idea - thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteAdorable - the tooth brush holders and the kids :)
ReplyDeleteYay! Thanks for sharing at Sweet Saturday! This is the cutest idea, I can't wait to try it. Right now my daughter is using a toothbrush with a suction cup on the bottom, so it doesn't need a holder, but next time we are using a Hello Kitty one without a suction cup, so I'm going to keep my eye out for a cheap Hello Kitty toy I can do this with.
ReplyDeleteAwesome, my son would LOVE this :)
ReplyDeleteIt is good you carved a hold with a knife.Never knew this could be done.
ReplyDeleteI saw these in the magazine. I was trying to think of a girl's version but a toothbrush coming out of a fairy's belly is a pretty gruesome thought.
ReplyDeleteFantastic idea! Can't wait to make one for my niece. Pinning :)
