Bookclub: Teeth and the Toothfairy

The Book. The Favors. (The Firefly toothbrush is available at Walmart and flashes for a minute to let children know how long to brush). Toothpaste and a mini "flosser." Amy made "Lapbooks" which were manila folders hot glued together. (See details below) The laminated tooth is to write on plague with a dry erase marker and the child uses the felt covered toothbrush to practice brushing away the plaque. Also, a mini book for the child to complete at the top. A Matching Animal Tooth Game and a spin facts wheel about teeth. (Lt) Mini "Going to the Dentist" booklet. (Upper rt) Laminated/cut up teeth with floss. (Bottom rt.) George Washington's Famous Teeth Mini pullout book (attached by velcro) Other Games and Handouts...one a dice/counting game with mini marshmallows as "teeth."
Eva was "singing."
Mi Yeon and Melissa constructing Tooth fairy Pillows.
Amy putting together the "Lapbooks." Mommy Melissa and Cora sewing together.
The back of the Tooth fairy Pillow has a pocket for money. The top of the pillow has a tiny pocket for the lost tooth.
This month we met at Amy's house and she had put together these cute Lapbooks, book, favors, and games for the preschoolers. The Mommy Craft was tooth fairy pillows for the children to put their tooth in and for the Tooth Fairy to leave the money. Amy also had "healthy snacks" for us to munch on: cantaloupe and grape kabobs, apples, and carrots from her own garden.
