Baby Teeth Storytime

Today we had a very special Baby Storytime!  We had a special guest reader, a member of Community Minded Enterprise who wrote a grant about early education of oral health.  It is called The Tooth Fairy Project.  She gave parents and caregivers a lot of great information about oral health for their little ones.  Later in the program the Tooth Fairy visited!

Teeth Are Not For Biting

Song

Roly-Poly (a variation of the one we usually do)
Roly-poly, roly-poly out, out, out
Roly-poly, roly-poly up, up, up
Roly-poly, roly-poly clap, clap, clap
Roly-poly, roly-poly lay them in your lap.

2nd time through we did it B-I-G!
3rd time through we did it "baby" (just using pointer fingers)

Play and Learn

The Tooth Fairy was excellent interacting with the parents and babies!

One little guy in particular loved brushing the giant teeth as well as the bear's teeth!

Each child received a toothbrush and a book!
