Helping children learn to make healthy choices and take care of their own bodies is an essential part of effective early years practice. As practitioners, it is vital that we encourage children to take an interest in the way that our diet and hygiene routines can influence the growth of strong, healthy teeth. A project on 'teeth' will motivate children to understand these aims through exploration and discovery.
Ensure that the children's parents and family members are involved in the project as much as possible so that they can continue to support a positive attitude towards caring for teeth at home.
