Dental Health Flossing Practice Activity
At The Goddard School, the preschool class was learning all about dental health! To help them visualize how important it is to floss they did a fun activity! The kiddos put Play-Doh in between the bottom of an ice cube tray and once it was stuck on they used yarn that was run through the tray to, "Floss." It was a clever way to encourage dental hygiene in these youngsters and to assist them in seeing how flossing helps get things that only brushing your teeth doesn't take care of.
