Why We Chose This Activity

We have come up with an activity that practices letter identification and learning about the importance of proper teeth brushing.  We also have a fun song to sing while playing.

Brush Away the Alphabet Germs Activity

Materials Needed: 2 white ice cube trays, dry erase marker, craft stick, small piece of white felt and glue

1.  The ice cube trays represent the teeth.  With a dry erase marker, write a letter of the alphabet on each “tooth”.

2.  Create a toothbrush by gluing a small piece of white felt onto the top of the craft stick.

Time to play!  Tell your child that the teeth are covered in alphabet germs and that it is their job to brush away the germs.  Sing the song below as you play.

Teeth Song

This is also a fun song to sing when brushing your teeth.

“I’ve Got All These Teeth In My Mouth”

to the tune “He’s Got the Whole World In His Hands”

I’ve got all these teeth in my mouth.

I’ve got all these teeth in my mouth.

I’ve got all these teeth in my mouth.

 I’m going to brush them every day.

I’m going to brush the top teeth in my mouth.

I’m going to brush the bottom teeth in my mouth.

I’m going to remember to brush in front and in back.

I’m going to brush them every day.

You can listen to the song in the video below.

Enjoy singing this preschool song and playing brush away the germs over and over to help little ones learn about dental health.

    I love the idea of brushing the dry erase letters off of the ice cube trays which gives children instant feedback that they are getting their ‘teeth’ clean.
