Today we’ve tried a little tooth brushing activity. A couple of parents have asked recently if there’s anything we can do to help with teeth brushing as it can be a challenging time with little ones so here’s one thing we try. I laminated a picture of teeth and today we used shaving foam and encouraged the children to use the shaving foam to brush the teeth. Good for physical skills, as well as learning about teeth. We supported them in making sure each tooth was brushed, and they seemed to really enjoy getting involved. Next time we may try adding marks onto the teeth and using actual toothpaste to get the marks off. A great one for children without using the toothbrush on themselves.
