brush incisors and brushing teeth

we read i know why i brush my teeth and learned about incisors, molars and canine teeth. then we practiced brushing our teeth, paying attention to brush in gentle circles rather than up and down...

mia thought the toothpaste was too "spicy"...

marshmallow teeth

t is for teeth

since we were discussing teeth i thought it a good opportunity to show off my tooth collection! after studying each tooth we played a guessing game. the rules were that without peeking and only using their hands they had to guess which tooth was inside the sock. we also used the teeth as props while reading nice try, tooth fairy.

more fun with teeth!

the kids worked on their cutting skills...

we made a pretend dentist office! we had a dentist appointment book to take appointments and dental charts for the patients...
