Movie Marathon- Let each child pick the movie of their choice and have a movie marathon! Put the popcorn in the microwave and you’re all set!

Valentine’s Day Card Making – If you have some time to get out to the store before the storm hits, pick-up your kids Valentine’s Day cards for their class and let them work on those. If you can’t get out to the store, let the kids make DIY (do it yourself) Valentine’s Day cards this year! All you need is construction paper, markers and a little creativity!

Board Game Marathon – If the movie marathon doesn't seem to interest your children, pull out all of the board games! Let each child pick their favorite game and set them up at the kitchen table!

Scavenger Hunt – Make a list of items you've hidden around the house and let the kids find them all! Have a special treat ready for the winner!

February is National Children’s Dental Health month! This month, we really want to spread the word about just how important it is to develop healthy dental habits at a young age!

If you’re looking for a few ways to get your children involved in dental health month, how about having a dental health crafting partyGather your children and their friends and get crafting on dental health collagesGive each child at the party a toothbrush, piece of dental floss and pictures of mouthwash. Along with these items, all you’ll need is construction paper, glue and markers. Help each child glue the toothbrush, mouthwash pictures and floss to a piece of paper. When each item is glued to the paper, have the children write down why each tool is important. 

This is a great way to remind them why each tool is so important for their overall dental health!

Let us know if you have any dental health crafting ideas on our Facebook page, linked HERE!
