Pearly Whites

♫This is the way we brush our teeth,

brush our teeth, brush our teeth ♫ 

Well, at least from what I see, our little ones here just love brushing their teeth. 

We took this past week to discuss the importance of brushing our teeth and the healthy foods you should eat.

We talked about cavities and how to brush away food between our teeth.

It was fun making a mouth full of teeth by cutting up strips of paper and glueing them into an empty mouth.

We also took huge fake teeth and learned how to brush up and down, inside and all the way into the back of the mouth.

The kids decided that their Dora Toothpaste tasted better to them than my Crest, which they said smelled too spicey.  They do love brushing their teeth everyday after nap.

My co-teacher made mouth puppets too. The kids had a blast using them as big smiley masks.

I even caught the kids taking our large toothbrush and attempting to brush our dog's teeth.  This was pretty funny as my dog just sat their with her pearly whites exposed.

This was a fun week learning about teeth and the importance in keeping them healthy.

Next week, all about Rainbows!
