This lesson plan focuses on teaching toddlers the importance of dental hygiene, specifically the practice of brushing teeth. It begins with an engaging introduction that includes a picture book to spark curiosity about oral health. The children learn about the different parts of their teeth using a colorful model, followed by a demonstration of proper brushing techniques with a toothbrush and toothpaste.
In a hands-on practice session, toddlers are given toothbrushes to mimic the demonstration while receiving guidance to ensure they understand the correct method. The lesson concludes with a review and discussion to reinforce what they've learned, accompanied by a rewarding sticker for participation. Parents are encouraged to continue fostering these habits at home with take-home kits and routines. Through this lesson, children are empowered to understand and practice good oral hygiene, setting the foundation for healthy habits in the future.
