As a part of our "All About Me" study, we did a small group where the kids brushed the fake teeth with a real toothbrush making sure they were brushing all areas of the teeth. We asked the kids "Why do you brush your teeth? and documented their answers on the chart below.
We also talked about cavities and how brushing is important to get the plaque off our teeth after we eat food. The kids enjoyed this activity and had some entertaining answers to the question!

This is a great way to teach kids about brushing their teeth and show them how to do it. The big model is perfect for them to learn and really see how it is done properly.
ReplyDeleteThis is a fun activity that teaches kids about proper hygiene. Kudos to the organizers.
ReplyDeleteI always remind my kids. It's for their own good.
ReplyDeleteThese are great tips. I have been searching for San Antonio dentists for about a week now since I just moved into the area. I had no idea that you could eat cheese to keep your teeth healthy.
