Dental Health Fun!!

We had such fun this week doing a Dental Health theme for storytime. We had this great book and as we read the book we would add the felt piece that corresponded to the silly stuff she found in her teeth.  I had all of the pieces except the mouth already in my many felt sets.  The mouth was an easy make with some different patterns on the WEBS. lol. This was an effective and fun way to use pieces that I haven't used in years and keep the kiddos very engaged!  I also have a few other teeth related items that we did HERE and HERE.  We had a easy craft and table activity also! It was a BIG hit this week with our young patrons.  Dental Health is important and Fun with Friends at Storytime.

Tooth Fairy game

February is National Children's Dental Health Month so I thought this felt set would be a great addition to my previous 'teeth' theme posted here.  I found some resources at the American Dental Association's website.  I found an old set already made in the files at my library and couldn't wait to make my own set. Here's the game and printable patterns at Making Learning Fun.  I enlarged and tweaked the pattern a little and added glitter and gems and ribbon and some slick fabric paint to make my set.  I plan on using this like the Little Mouse hiding in the color House game.  We'll identify the colors of the pillows and then help the Tooth Fairy look for the teeth. There was a cute rhyme in the library's set that someone must have added; "Children, children look and see. Can you find the tooth for me?"  I know this is going to be a LOT of Fun with Friends at Storytime!

I found this Tooth Fairy Flannel Friday post at Storytimes with Moxie. Here's another cute post with a tooth fairy too. The Flannel Friday Roundup is hosted by Lisa at Thrive after Three!  Have questions about Flannel Friday?
