Self-Help Skill Development

Our toddlers practiced their self-help skills by using a toothbrush to practice brushing teeth. Some toddlers used the mouth model and others pretended to brush a baby dolls teeth. This activity promotes positive hygiene, independence and fine motor skills.  The educators then expanded this activity by creating a sorting activity between foods that are good and bad for their teeth. This activity is great for learning about their health, especially after a sugary Halloween weekend!
