Are your kids home for spring break?  It might be a rainy week, but kids can still have fun indoors.  Here are a few fun dental crafts that will help keep your kids out of trouble and help them learn how to better care for their teeth!

Tooth Friendly Craft Ideas:

Marshmallow Teeth
This creative food craft idea allows kids to practice brushing between marshmallow "teeth."  
Check out the craft on the Edible Crafts website here.

Tooth Cupcakes 
Have a sweet tooth?  These tooth cupcakes are a cute way to have tooth-themed fun!  Just remind your kids to brush afterwards to make sure that they get the sugar off of their teeth.  

Check out the recipe here.

Eggsperiment
Do your kids love science?  Let them try this fun "eggsperiment" at home this week.  Take two boiled eggs and put them in cups with dark soda and the other two with coffee or tea.  Let them sit over night and see how the eggs get staind.  Kids can even try to use toothbrushes and toothpaste to try to get the eggs clean.  

Visit this website to learn more about the experiment.

Tooth Brushing Water Station
Set out a toothbrush, toothpaste, water, cups and an egg carton (to look like teeth).  This will help kids practice brushing!
