Brushy Brush: Fun Songs to Inspire Healthy Teeth Brushing Habits in Kids
This curated playlist is perfect for celebrating and inspiring the important routine of tooth brushing! Keeping children’s smiles healthy is an important part of keeping their whole bodies well.
These songs feature Sesame Street friends and inspire important routines like brushing teeth as well as staying clean! You might share these songs as children brush their teeth, wash their hands, or take a bath. As you listen together, you can:
- Talk about why it’s important to brush our teeth and wash our bodies
- Move and groove along
- Pantomime brushing and washing
- And consider these tips for later: Model good habits by letting children see you brush (and floss), too. You can also keep track of children’s brushing routines, such as with an incentive chart using stickers.
