Fun toothbrushes for big kids

Does anyone know where I can buy an adult-sized toothbrush with characters, flashing lights or anything fun like that?

The toddler toothbrushes aren't really doing the job anymore - too tiny and too soft - but dd isn't impressed with the boring toothbrushes available in a bigger size!

I'm struggling to find anything grown up sized (how old is she? 6+ toothbrushes, with pics etc are available in our tesco) other than football supporters toothbrushes.

So, thinking outside the box a bit, could you buy some waterproof stickers (we have some from a school label shop which stick on, but sofar have survived 2 terms of dishwashing) and stick those to a plain adult toothbrush? Novelty seems to come up with stuff suitable for a Hen do, not a child, but if anyone can think of something like football, that has lots of adult novelty gifts, it might be worth searching for those type of toothbrushes specifically.

She's almost nine. So the 6+ ones should be OK but aren't as fun as the toddler ones! Maybe I'll look in a bigger Tesco (my local Tesco is biggish but there is a huge one five miles away) to see what they have.

Thanks!

Could you get a rechargable (not battery powered) one like the oral B ones. They do character ones, but they are very close of adult sized ones. You then just need to buy the heads every now and again?

An electric toothbrush, you mean? She doesn't go for those at the minute but she is rather fickle so I'll keep it in mind for the future!

Thanks.
