- Print out this page and hang it at kids’ eye level near the sink where kids brush their teeth. Using charts is a great way to help kids build healthy habits… and motivate them to continue!
- Encourage good habits and healthy routines for children all week long! Use this chart to encourage three good hygiene habits that keep little ones healthy and strong. Hang it somewhere kids can easily see, such as the refrigerator. When your kids finish brushing their teeth, washing hands, or sleeping for 10 hours (recommended for ages 3–5), encourage them to color in the square. At the end of a healthy week, share a healthy snack!
- A furry red monster can make brushing more fun. Watch “Brushy Brush” together, in which Elmo sings about how to brush. Encourage children to pretend to brush their teeth as they listen, using their fingers as toothbrushes! Point out that Elmo brushes his teeth every day and every night. _______________________________________________________________

- Entusiasme a los niños transformando el cepillado de dientes en una actividad divertida. Miren juntos “Cepíllate” y escuchen a Elmo cantar sobre cómo cepillarse los dientes. Mientras escuchan la canción, anime a los niños a que hagan como que se están cepillando los dientes.
