Hi I am looking for all sorts of fun ideas for my healthy bodies/teeth unit. Thanks.

We did a fun activity where we cut healthy foods out of magazines and glued them to paper plates. My kids really liked it.

Set up a doctor's office in your dramatic play center - get lots of band aids!!! They love to fix boo-boos!

We used white unifix cubes in pink play dough to make gums/teeth at our play dough center.

A popular experiemnt for healthy teeth I hard boil enough eggs for each child in the class to have one and then we place some eggs in red Hawaiian punch and some in Diet Coke. We leave the eggs over night. We take them out the next day and the kids try to brush the eggs clean with a toothbrush and tootpaste. Of course they do not come clean so it is great to explain why these drinks should be drunk in moderation.

Mrs. Flanagan has some great ideas on her website:
