Read-Aloud Story: *LIST BELOW, Find one at library for the week
Activity- A Tooth
Tale
On a stuffed animal (or puppet) show the
children how to properly brush their teeth.
Place toothbrush at a slight upward angle on the outside of the back
bottom teeth. Make small circular
motions on all the bottom teeth, then do the same circular motion on the inside
of the bottom teeth. Once done with the
bottom teeth move to the top teeth and do the same thing to keep that smile
shining. Have children pretend their
finger is a toothbrush and have them practice.
PREPARATION
Cut 10 teeth out of construction paper. Write a number on each 1-10.
ACTIVITY
Tell “A Tooth Tale” by Mary Jane Butner. As you say each part of the rhyme take a
tooth off the flannel board (counting down to one) and hand it to a child.

Music and Finger plays: A Tooth Tale
Ten baby teeth
chomping food so fine,
One fell out-then there were nine.
Nine baby teeth said, "Chewing is great!"
One fell out-then there were eight.
Eight baby teeth said, "We belong to Kevin."
Kevin bit an apple-then there were seven.
Seven baby teeth munching pretzel sticks,
One fell out-then there were six.
Six baby teeth gulping cottage cheese with chives,
One fell out-then there were five.
Five baby teeth cried, "We want to eat some more!"
One fell out-then there were four.
Four baby teeth said, "Is that a carrot stick we see?"
They bit into that carrot-then there were three.
Three baby teeth sobbed, "We bit off more than we can chew."
One fell out-then there were two.
Two baby teeth gnawed a hot cross bun,
One fell out -and then there was one.
One baby tooth exclaimed, "I can hardly chew this crumb."
One fell out-then there were none.
BUT all the time those baby teeth were falling one by one,
Some new teeth were growing in. And now my tooth's tale's done.

Activity- Brush
the Egg
PREPARATION
Hardboil an egg the day before and place it in
a cup of dark soda (pepsi, coke, root beer, etc.)
ACTIVITY
Talk to the children about keeping their teeth
clean. Take the egg out of the soda and
show them how discoloured and yellow it looks (looks like plaque). Pull out a toothbrush and show them how to
put paste on it (each child can have their own brush and put their own paste
on). Show them that the toothbrush with
paste will take the yellowing off of the egg.
Have each child take a turn while you sing the song.

·
Music and Finger
plays: The Toothache
*Jenny Giraffe was
tired of eating just leaves
She decided instead
to eat candy and cupcakes and all kinds of sweets.
She then went to bed
without brushing her teeth.
In the morning she
woke with a terrible SCREECH.
She let out a moan,
and she let out a groan.
She thought to
herself, I wonder what’s wrong.
She went to the
mirror and opened up wide
She struggled and
struggled to look what was inside.
What she found was
not something fun.
She thought to herself
what have I done?!
She ran to the sink
all in a rush
And hurried and
hurried to get out her brush.
In her great haste
she almost forgot the toothpaste.
She slathered it on
and as fast as she could
She brushed her teeth
just like she should.
She brushed and
brushed and brushed some more,
She brushed until her
teeth felt sore.
She opened up wide
And again looked
inside
What she found this
time was great
She had brushed
before it was too late.
Next time she said I
won’t eat all those sweets
I’ll stick to my
spinach, my carrots, and beets.
And no matter what I
eat I’ll remember to brush and brush and brush my teeth!

Floss Painting
|
Cut large teeth out of construction paper (printable). Let children string paint on the teeth with
the dental floss. Also provide toothbrush’s the children can use to splatter
paint onto the teeth with.these! Encourage them to color with just red and blue so they
can see the shade of purple that they make. Experiment with other colors as
well!
VARIATION: Instead of spray bottles,
provide the children with eye droppers and small cups of water to drop water
where they want. Great fine motor skill practice!
*These dry very quickly.
