Teeth Day 2

Craft: I drew a tooth on a piece of paper per kid. Then I gave them each an old toothbrush and some white paint. Again, we practiced strokes to brush teeth as they painted the teeth white.

Science: I drew a happy tooth on a paper bag and a sad tooth on another. Then I grabbed different foods from around the kitchen and laid them out. The kids had to tell me which bag they went in -- will they make the teeth happy or the teeth sad?

Alternate: Cut out two teeth and draw a happy face on one and sad face on the other. Then go through magazines and cut out pictures of food and glue them to the appropriate tooth.

Song:

Little Tommy Toothbrush

Sung to : "Eensy, Weensy Spider"

Little Tommy Toothbrush

Had a big job to do.

He spread himself with toothpaste

And jumped up on a tooth.

He scrubbed and scrubbed the germs away

To prevent tooth decay.

Then Little Tommy Toothbrush

Jumped down and said, "Hooray!"

Snack: We ate the items from the happy tooth bag.
