NEW: Brushtime Stories Discoverable Library!
Say Goodbye to the Stand-Still Struggle: Introducing Brushtime Stories!
If you’re a parent, you know the nightly drill. You press start on your child’s Willo, and suddenly those two minutes feel like an eternity. For a kid, standing completely still in the bathroom can feel like a major chore, even when their favorite robot toothbrush is doing all the actual brushing!
At Willo, we’re always looking for ways to take the pressure off your family's bedtime routine. That’s why we are absolutely thrilled to announce the newest addition to our companion app: Brushtime Stories.
What are Brushtime Stories?
Brushtime Stories is a brand-new, interactive storytelling mode built directly into the Willo companion app. Instead of just watching a regular timer tick away, your child can now listen to an entertaining, engaging story every single time they brush.
Think of it almost like their favorite episodic series, perfectly timed to their oral care routine. Here is how the magic works:
- The Multi-Episode Adventure: Each story is broken down into 4 bite-sized episodes. To hear what happens next, your little one just needs to complete their next dentist-recommended brushing session!
- An Unlockable Story Library: Consistency is key to building healthy habits. As your child finishes a complete story arc, they unlock a brand-new adventure from the library to look forward to next.
- The Ultimate Distraction: Because the stories are deeply engaging, they completely take your child’s mind off the fact that they have to stand still. Before they know it, the two minutes are up!
"We know that high-energy games right before bed can sometimes backfire. That’s why Brushtime Stories are specifically designed to be relaxing and soothing—transforming brushing from a chaotic daily battle into a calming nighttime wind-down."
More Ways to Gamify Good Habits
The companion app updates don’t stop at storytelling. We’ve packed the app with features to help parents keep track of routines seamlessly while giving kids full ownership of their progress:
| Feature | How It Works | Benefit for Kids |
|---|---|---|
| Custom Rewards | Parents easily set custom milestone goals in the app dashboard. | Extra incentive to hit consistency streaks. |
| Interactive Timers | Swap out generic countdowns for vibrant daily themes. | Personalizes their screen appearance. |
When Can You Listen?
The initial rollout of Stories mode is officially live in your companion app right now! To make things even better, the full expansion of the in-app Library releases sometime next week, giving your child a massive collection of stories to choose from.
Don't wait until you get the Willo + App synchronized to check it out. Head over to the App Store or Google Play Store, update your Willo companion app, and let us know which story your little one unlocks first!
