Dental Health Preschool Activities
Our Dental Health Unit was a great follow up to Valentine’s Day. A little slower paced, but the kids still learned a lot and enjoyed all of the Dental Health Activities.
We did these activities during our homeschool time but they can be adapted for the preschool – PreK classroom.
