Did you know that brushing your teeth can help build literacy skills? 🦷📚

Make brushing and flossing part of your daily routine by adding a little music! Try singing this together:

(to the tune of “Row, Row, Row Your Boat”)
Brush, brush, brush your teeth,
Morning, noon and night.
Visit your dentist twice a year
And you will be alright!
(Second time: swap “brush” for “floss”!)

You can also explore books about animal teeth—do shark 🦈 or cow 🐄 teeth look the same as yours? It’s a fun way to build curiosity, vocabulary, and healthy habits all at once!

Are you ready to make a difference? 🌟
Do you love building relationships that inspire generosity? Are you passionate about creating impact in your community?
