I just finished making 20+ activity sheets for The Last Loose Tooth—including art pages, Tooth Fairy letter templates, lost tooth certificates, puzzles, games, vocabulary activities, and general dental hygiene worksheets!
I also discovered while working on my book that my kids LOVED inventing their own special tooth characters—they made acrobat, robot, monster, vampire, and giraffe teeth!
SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL: “A fun and humorous take on tooth loss that is sure to be a relatable hit...”
They also created amazing Tooth Fairies! I encouraged the kids to think beyond archetypal depictions of fairies when they were creating their own, and to think about diversity, what made them special, and their own family history.
“WHAT DOES YOUR DREAM TOOTH FAIRY LOOK LIKE? Do they look like you or someone you know? Do they have a special power? Or a book full of magical spells? Maybe they have a cat or a dragon friend? Do they wear a pointy hat or no hat at all? Does your fairy fly, use a wheelchair, or ride a bike?”
Here is the full list of activities included in the PDFs (links below):
• Make Your Own Special Tooth (art and story project) • Make Your Own Tooth Fairy (art project exploring diversity) • My Tooth Loss Diary (chart to fill out dates of lost teeth) • Classroom Tooth Loss Chart (teeth lost graphed by month) • Tooth Fairy letter templates (one for JK/SK, one for gr. 1-3) • Lost Tooth Certificate (for teeth lost at school) • Dental Vocabulary (two pages) • Tooth Tips & Facts (three illustrated pages of fun tooth trivia) • Dental health word search • Dental health word scramble • Parts of the tooth (cut-and-paste activity) • Parts of the mouth (cut-and-paste activity) • Baby teeth (cut-and-paste activity)
