D is for Dentist!

Last week marked the start of February! Any hints to what our theme was last week?! I'll give you a hint! February is National Children's Dental Health Month! Therefore, we talked about ways to keep our teeth healthy and white! Starting healthy habits early are likely to last longer throughout their life! So why not practice brushing our teeth and even introducing flossing?! Turns out.... the kids LOVED it! They couldn't get enough! 

To enhance language development, we read the book "Teeth are Not for Biting" and discussed healthy ways to use our teeth! We practiced saying "teeth" and pointing to where our teeth are! We did several fine motor activities, including flossing play dough out of legos painting with floss, brushing our yellow teeth with white paint and brushing away our ABC's! Those are just a few of the fun activities we did! As far as gross motor development, we played in the gym with cars, balls, bikes and cones! We were even able to go outside on the playground one day! Fresh air is a must for these little ones! Take a look at our fun-filled week!
