Brush Your Teeth Activity
Help young kids learn to brush and floss teeth with this fun activity!
Featured in MVP Kids “Smile for the Dentist” book for children ages 4-8 years old, this fun and simple activity helps children learn the importance of brushing and flossing!
Materials:
White Styrofoam egg carton
Yellow washable tempera paint (or any color and use your imagination!)
Soft inexpensive toothbrush
Yarn or string about 1 foot long
Bowl of water
Toothpaste (optional)
Activity Steps:
1. Paint your egg carton teeth
Turn your egg carton upside down and pretend it is a set of teeth. (You can pretend it’s a set of hippopotamus teeth if you want!) Paint the bottom of the egg carton yellow (or if your hippopotamus likes pumpkin, paint it orange!), making sure to paint the spaces between the cups. Let dry.
2. Brush Brush Brush!
Dip the toothbrush in the bowl of water and brush the egg cups with the goal of removing all of the paint.
3. Floss! Floss! Floss!
Use the yarn as you would use dental floss to get the yellow off between the egg cups.
4. Rinse & Repeat
Rinse the carton and check for yellow; continue working on steps 2 & 3 until all the paint is off the egg carton.
