About this resource
Establish healthy dental hygiene habits from the start with this fun and engaging teaching toolkit on brushing teeth. Ideal for emergent learners from preschool to grade 1, the resources transform a daily self-care routine into a vibrant learning opportunity.
Vibrant colouring sheets allow young students to visually sequence key steps like squeezing toothpaste, angling the brush, and using little circles to clean. Class discussions activate background knowledge on how plaque and cavities form when food gets stuck on teeth. Extend the learning by acting out proper brushing techniques on stuffed animals or dolls.
Five differentiated writing templates cater to diverse skill levels – beginning writers practice pre-writing strokes while more advanced students pen sentences on topics like their favourite toothpaste flavors. Display student work proudly on a culminating oral health bulletin board!
With visual aids like illustrated word banks, tactile demonstrations and even potential field trips to the dentist’s office, the toolkit brings an essential real-world routine into the early childhood classroom. This cross-curricular package includes connections to science, health and ELA standards, allowing easy incorporation into existing units on hygiene, dental health, following directions and more. Establish healthy smiles for life!
