"Our goal with Philips Sonicare for Kids is to establish good oral care habits from the start," said Alexander Harris, Senior Marketing Director, Health & Wellness, Philips North America. "What better way to motivate kids than with their favorite characters from the new movie Ice Age: Collision Course; and a little help from Sparkly, the Philips oral care coach. "Philips Sonicare For Kids is the perfect partner to celebrate the release of the next installment of the Ice Age franchise," said Zachary Eller, SVP, Marketing Partnerships, 20th Century Fox. "Kids across the country will be more excited than ever to brush their teeth with their favorite characters, Scrat, Sid, and Manny!"

Teaching kids proper oral care habits can be a challenge for parents, while getting them excited about brushing their teeth is even more difficult. Philips Sonicare For Kids is equipped with Bluetooth® technology and a free, interactive coaching app that helps kids develop good oral care habits with the help of their personal brushing coach, "Sparkly." Parents can monitor their child's performance and progress and set up custom milestones and incentives to keep them motivated.
