Toddlers need to brush their teeth! I feel funny saying this but, there are some people that don't introduce their toddlers to tooth brushing. Healthy teeth means a healthy body - so it is very important for the teeth to be brushed at least twice per day. Some parents have a concern over using fluoride toothpaste.

The kids absolutely LOVED this and played for all of centers with it. We also practiced 'brushing teeth' by painting...

February is National Children's Dental Health Month. In honor of my kids' uncle who is a dentist, I thought I'd share a few fun things you can do with your preschool age children to teach them about dental health. Make a happy tooth/sad tooth collage. You can use the free printable below that I created and then collect old magazines or grocery store ads.

When we teach dental health the subject of sharks and their unique dental properties always seems to come up. So we created this dental health packet and included the ever popular shark. Our kiddos love comparing shark teeth to their own teeth. They really like the craftivity of making the giant toothbrush and writing how to brush teeth. Labeling parts of the shark and tooth is the perfect opportunity for vocabulary work. These activities can be taught any time of the year. We hope your kids...
