February is Children’s Dental Health Month. I know it’s not unusual for kids to hate brushing their teeth. And my kids are no exception, besides the 3 year old, but I think she just likes the bubble gum flavored safe toothpaste. So this year we are going to spend most of February learning how to better brush our teeth and why it’s so important.
In addition to doing activities and experiments, we will utilize some of these amazing printables, books and fun sensory play ideas to make sure they really understand the point. So I have gathered some great ones here for you today!
