An accessory is provided for a product dispenser having a container for holding a product. The container defines a center axis and has a normal dispensing position, and a dispensing mechanism is coupled to the container and has a discharge opening adapted to direct product toward a desired target area when the container is in the normal dispensing position. The accessory is a first stabilizing element coupled to at least one of the container and dispensing mechanism and adapted to maintain the container in the normal dispensing position, thereby to more reliably direct product toward the target area during use. The first stabilizing element incorporates at least one physical feature attractive to a child.

Product dispenser accessory for children

A combination toothbrush and toothpaste dispenser, and method, are adapted for use by a child. The dispenser provides an easily actuatable activator that, when operated, discharges a predetermined amount of toothpaste from an orifice. The toothbrush is adapted to automatically lift the toothbrush head off of a support surface to a height near that of the dispenser orifice. As a result, a child may focus on manipulating one item at a time when loading a toothbrush with toothpaste.
