flossing
Sue + Roo are back to demonstrate how important it is to floss our teeth! While this may be difficult for little hands to master on their own (typically by the time kids are dextrous enough to cut paper with a pair of scissors they can floss on their own!), this DIY art project shows them the proper technique to practice. It’s SHOCKING to see how much gets left between our teeth, even after a good brushing!

We certainly talk a lot about healthy human teeth, but what about other species with smiles? This week focuses on fun animal teeth facts along with coloring sheets for little hands to get creative.
A bonus art project this week, as well! Download the human or critter mouth and follow the steps in the video to create an interactive brushing activity that your kids are sure to love.

eggsperimenting with science
This has to be our favorite lesson of the month, because we get to really dive into the science of a healthy mouth and SEE what happens to our teeth when they’re not well taken care of. The Stain Lab and Decay Lab is meant for kids of all ages; they can use the Scientific Method worksheets to guide the project, and adults can utilize the Guide Sheets for scientific support.
