Brusha, the first in the “edutaining” Clappz range, is an app for children designed to be a fun and educational way to teach and encourage proper dental hygiene. The Brusha app is centered around a catchy song and instructive animation that lasts two minutes and is intended to play as children brush their teeth. Two minutes is the recommended brushing time from both the American and Australian Dental associations.
Brusha targets boys and girls aged 2-7 years and their care givers, and is 100% educational, incorporating essential skills small children need to learn, in a fun and simple format.
Key steps include:
Choosing a character from a list to serve as a tooth brushing guide, or taking a photo of yourself to use as the tooth brushing guide.
Deciding from a range of dental hygiene activities, including brushing and flossing.
Selecting from a list of age appropriate tools, such as toothbrushes and mouth wash, to use and to appear in the animation that accompanies the Brusha song.
The song and animation sequence, which last the two minutes that dental associations recommend as the correct amount of brushing time.
A congratulations at the end for the correct completion of the selected task.
