ACTIVITIES
(GAMES & CRAFTS)
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.
