FEBRUARY IS DENTAL HEALTH MONTH
This goofy craft is easy to make and fun to play with. It has a nice puppet quality. But the best part about this craft is that it will help your students learn about what’s inside a human mouth. You can even use the mouth to demonstrate proper brushing and flossing.
