Brush up and down. (Pretend to move toothbrush up and down.)
Brush back and forth. (Pretend to move toothbrush back and forth.)
Brush in front. (Pretend to brush front teeth.)
Brush in back. (Pretend to brush back teeth.)
Brush every tooth every day.
Brush your teeth in every way.
And floss in-between. (Pretend to floss.)
That’s how to keep teeth clean. (Smile big.)
What you need:
I Brush My Teeth Booklet printables
White paper
Craft sticks
Markers, paint
String
Glue
Stapler
Scissors
What you do:
Print copies of the I Brush My Teeth Booklet pages. Prepare one booklet for each child by stapling the pages together with the cover as the top page. For the toothbrush bristles, cut 1" x 2" wide strips from white paper. Fold the paper in half and make cuts along the top. Have each child color a craft stick.
Glue the paper to the back of the craft stick.
Tie a piece of string (1' long) to the bottom of the craft stick. Use a piece of tape to keep it in place. Attach to booklet.
Introduce the I Brush My Teeth booklets. Read the words on each page. Give each child a booklet. Show children where to write their names on the front covers and let them color their book covers while you circulate the room and staple their craft stick toothbrushes to their booklets.
Show children how to use the attached toothbrushes to brush the teeth on each page according to the words in the sentences. They can take their mini-books home to read to friends and family members.
