Fingerplay: “Five Little Teeth”
There were five little teeth in my teeny tiny mouth
I pulled and I twisted and one popped out
Now there are…one, two, three, four.

Song: “This Is The Way”
This is the way we brush our teeth,
Brush our teeth, brush our teeth
This is the way we brush our teeth
So early in the morning

Craft
These smiling cotton ball teeth were found on Kiboomu Kids Crafts. The cotton balls in craft were a great textile experience for the little ones. And I got to use up a lot of our cotton balls!
How It Went
Since I discovered “Clarabella’s Teeth” in alligator/crocodile storytime, I’ve wanted to use it every week! Needless to say, I found another theme to do — teeth! While their parents definitely appreciated the important message of dental hygiene care, the kids just had fun!

Hi Katie,
The link for the craft is dead, so I was wondering if you have a picture or description of the craft you did. I love your blog and refer to it often as I craft my plans. Thank you!
I don’t have a picture of my craft and that’s a bit strange…
Leah and Mollie have one on their blog though: https://sunflowerstorytime.com/2014/04/03/teeth/
