Health and Wellbeing

As it is National Smile Month I thought we could remind ourselves of the importance of taking care of our teeth. That means brushing at least twice a day (for the same length of time it takes to sing Happy Birthday) and not eating or drinking too much of the sugary snacks or drinks. To do this activity you’ll need….

Resources: blank sheet of paper, a felt tip pen, a variety of healthy and unhealthy food from your kitchen (10 items in total e.g. banana, apple, biscuit, fizzy drink, water etc)

• Adults draw a happy tooth on one half of the paper and a sad tooth on the other half:
• 
• Child places the different foods onto the sad or happy tooth depending on what it is
• Child explains why they have chosen to put each item on the tooth

Have a good day,
