Dental Health Centers

 


Children will place the number of teeth on the game boards.


Cavity Count from here
Roll a number cube and put that many dots on teeth.
Brush them off again while rolling the number cube.



Smashing Cavities (like Smashing Pumpkins lol) 



Dough again.  Roll dough into a ball. 

Roll the number cube, cover the number with the dough ball 
and place it on a tooth. 
Then we roll again and smooch that many.  Begin again.

Dental Health in the Kinderpond

 Sensory bin

In the upper left corner- there are those plastic cups (you can barely see lol)

measuring spoons

cupcake liners

mouthwash bottle

white letters

teeth from those tooth necklaces


I used this as a transition activity and later put in centers to play.


In journals, we made our own toothpaste trails.


We made rectangles and added a line to
make toothbrushes in journals. 


I have frog challenges.
Then when my students try out the center, we write their names
on the sheets. I draw simple pictures on them with a name.
So instead of calling these tracing lines, 
I call them toothpaste trails lol


Inside the center bin.
We erase with a toothbrush.




I used those sparkly pom-poms because I think they look like cavities lol



I added a pail to hold the teeth.
Children will place the number of teeth on the game boards.


These are playdough heads.
Shrek and the guy.
The guy was my son when he was younger, it was 
his toy. He called it Randy, his dad's name.
Now we also call it Randy.


Random coloring sheets
We color on the front and the back.


Toys

When I taught kindergarten, my students
lost teeth. I bought these teeth necklaces 
to store in the tooth in.
Well now my class isn't losing any teeth, 
so, I took off the necklace part,
and I added some in our ten frame game boards below.
