We love arts & crafts for kids, especially if they are educational, right?
It makes all the mess kind of worth it, in my opinion.
In this post, we will show you how we made some really fun mouth and tooth arts and crafts for kids to learn the names and locations of teeth!
The best part? The teeth are made out of mini marshmallows!
Don’t forget to visit our resources hub for music and fine arts! It is full of wonderful hands-on ideas for you to use at home.
