Brush Your Teeth ChartMake and send home a brushing chart for each child asking the parents to have the children brush three times a day for the next week. Have them check off morning, noon and night, each time they brush. Have the parents return the charts on the following Friday and have prizes and a healthy snack. Sent in by: Diane
Happy Tooth/Sad ToothSupplies needed: white and yellow construction paper, magazines, glue and scissors, large craft sticks. Cut out two fairly large teeth for each child out of construction paper. Discuss what makes our teeth happy and what might make our teeth sad. Have the children use the magazines and cut out things that would make their teeth both happy and sad. Instruct the children to glue those pictures on to the appropriate tooth. Help the children to staple their craft stick onto both of their “teeth”.
