This is a gift that I put together for my nephew Oliver. He is a good tooth-brusher, but everyone needs a little encouragement. When I saw this Papo Hippo with his mouth open wide at Naturally Curious kids in uptown Westerville, I knew Oliver HAD to have him.
Part of doing a mundane thing is mixing it up, making it fun, making a game out of it. "Okay, you get to brush the hippo's teeth...Now, you get to brush your big boy teeth." Set a timer. Sing a silly song. Do the 'brush your teeth dance'. Whatever works. Whatever makes it fun.
Have a fun and playful day!
