We finished our hygiene week talking about the importance of brushing our teeth. We pretended to have dinosaur teeth that needed to be cleaned. This dinosaur had been drinking too much soda pop!
(The egg on the left was soaked over night in soda pop and the other is a regular hard boiled egg.)
The kids worked together in pairs with toothpaste and toothbrushes to get those "dinosaur teeth" clean.
We learned it takes a lot of scrubbing to clean our teeth. Just a quick brush-over won't make our teeth sparkle.
Then we made happy mouths on paper plates. I had white squares for the kids to glue on for teeth but most preferred to draw their own square teeth.
Look at that HAPPY mouth!
Each one unique.We sang a silly song - "This is the way we wash our face" with lots of silly actions.
And we finished with a game of Counting Teeth.
We took turns rolling the dice and then put that number of marshmallows on the tooth game board. 32 teeth sure seems like a lot!

Thanks Christine - at our house, we sometimes have a hard time brushing our teeth long enough because it is sooo boring... this helped Stella to really scrub her teeth!
