Teachers
and parents! Listed below are some great rainy day/classroom
activities!
Make your own toothbrush!
What you will need:
* Cardboard
* Crayons, Paint, or Markers
* Sponge
* Glue
Instructions:
Cut a large toothbrush handle shape out of the cardboard
and color it your favorite color. Cut a piece of
sponge to glue on where the bristles would go.
Make a Tooth Fairy
Bag!
What you will need:
* Felt
* Hole punch
* Scissors
* Small plastic bag
* Yarn
* Yarn needle
Instructions:
Cut two tooth shapes out of the felt. Line them
up together. Take the hole punch and punch holes
around the outside of the teeth. Thread the yard
needle with the yarn and tie a knot on the end of
the yarn. Start at the center of the top of the
"tooth". Lace all the way around the tooth
going right. When you are almost done, place the
small plastic bag inside the tooth. Then lace the
rest of the way and tie it shut with a bow.
Pass the Toothpaste
Sit in a circle and pass
the toothpaste around. When the music stops, whoever
is holding the toothpaste has to go sit in the "dental
chair" (middle of circle).
Floss Your Teeth
Take the bottom of an empty
egg carton and cut into rows. Cut a long piece of
white yarn to use as floss. Turn the carton over
so the bumps face up. There are the "teeth"!
Wrap the yarn around your fingers and "floss"
your teeth!
Tooth Decay Experiment
What you will need:
* One fresh apple
* paper bag
Look at a fresh apple. Make
a small hole in the apple and place in the paper
bag. After a few days, open the bag and cut into
the apple. The brown you see is kind of like what
happens to your teeth if not brushed regularly.
