I Can Take Care of My Teeth Kit and All Things Wonderful Link Up 4-11

While we were learning about different community helpers, we spent a day on Dentists, and talked about taking care of our teeth. After reading the two fun books at the bottom of the page we talked about the students' experiences going to a visit the dentist, what happens at the dentist, why we should brush our teeth and floss, and the proper way of brushing and flossing our teeth. I wanted the students to have a fun hands on activity where they could practice flossing and brushing our teeth, and I that is how I came up with my "I Can Take Care of My Teeth Kit". This was a simple project for the students to put together and I LOVED the fact that I could use up all of the egg cartons I have been saving since the beginning of the school year. To make this kit you need:

• an egg carton


• a piece of yarn (for the floss)


• a toothbrush


• a shape of a tooth cut out


• glue


• the "I Can Take Care of My Teeth Kit" labels that you can download below.


• you could also let your children/students decorate their egg carton by coloring it or adding art materials to it.Glue the tooth shape to the front of the egg carton and then stick on the label. The inside of the egg carton is used to store the toothbrush and "floss" when they are not being used. The outside of the egg carton are the "teeth" where your little ones will practice flossing and brushing. Here are some of my students hard at work. This was much more fun than me just getting up in front of the students and saying... "This is how you brush your teeth"... CLICK HERE to download the labels for this kit.

Here are the two books that we read to go along with our Community Helper Dentist Theme:
