Lacing Tooth Cards

Practice eye/hand coordination with lacing boards cut from a tooth
shape pattern.  Click HERE for Pre-K Fun Tooth Lace Card printable.

  

Healthy Food Collage

Let the children cut healthy food pics from magazines and
 glue onto a paper plate to create a healthy food collage.

 

Practice Brushing & Flossing

To practice the dental health skills of brushing and flossing, provide a clean empty egg carton,
 an unused toothbrush, and some narrow ribbon.  Turn the egg carton over so that the sections
 stick up on top.  Explain that the egg carton sections represent teeth.  Encourage the child
 to use the toothbrush and ribbon to practice brushing and flossing the egg carton teeth.

 

Contact Paper Tooth Brushing

Cover a large construction paper tooth with clear contact paper. Let the children
 color it with a dry easer marker, then brush it off with a large hard toothbrush.

 

Healthy Smile Collage

Create a cut and paste healthy
 smile collage.  Precut some
 smiles from magazines and
 then let the children cut more

Plaster of Paris Tooth Brushing

.  Pour plaster of paris into and ice cube tray and let the mold set. 
Pop the cubes/teeth out.  Then take the cubes and put them in a half circle
onto the table.  Let the kids practice brushing the teeth with a toothbrush.

  

Soda Bottle Teeth

 Cut the bottoms off of 2 liter plastic soda bottles and turn them upside
down - they look like teeth! Secure a dozen or so together. Spray them
with shaving cream and give the kids toothbrushes to brush the teeth clean.

       

Playdoh Gum Line

Using pink play dough, have the children form a `U' shaped gum line. Allow them
 to press navy beans into dough for teeth. Allow to dry. Practice proper brushing.

   

White Tooth

Cut out a tooth shape and cover with various white
 materials...i.e. rice, cotton balls, white puff cereal, etc.
