Portable and easy to pull out of your pocket anytime! Here’s an idea for a toothbrushing puppet made with a glove.

What you’ll need: a glove, felt in various colors, scissors, a clear sheet such as a clear file, a permanent marker, and craft glue or a hot glue gun.

It’s great not only for use as a glove theater prop at events, but also as a handy tool you can quickly take out of your pocket for everyday activities like brushing teeth and gargling.

Another unique touch is drawing the “dirt” with a permanent marker on the clear sheet.

Brushing the lion’s teeth with a scrubbing toothbrush

I made a reusable tooth-brushing toy you can play with over and over ♡ #handmadetoy #toothbrushing #training

Let’s play again and again! Here’s a toothbrushing idea for the scrubbing-toothbrush lion.

You’ll need: an illustration, laminating sheets or a clear file, transparent tape, thick paper, scissors, craft glue, and a whiteboard marker.

The key is to put transparent tape over the illustration with the mouth open so it can be reused! You can also adapt it with lamination or a clear file.

If you draw dirt not only inside the mouth but also around it, kids can practice wiping the mouth with tissue or a handkerchief and build a habit of keeping clean.

It feels great to polish until it’s sparkling! Here’s an idea for a tooth-brushing crocodile craft.

What you’ll need: colored construction paper, scissors, double-sided tape, a paper cup, a permanent marker, a clear file (plastic folder), and a whiteboard marker.

The main materials are construction paper and a clear file, so it’s easy to gather what you need—that’s a big plus.

When playing, hold a real toothbrush and scrub away the “stains” colored with the whiteboard marker! It’s so satisfying when it becomes nice and shiny.

A toothbrushing doll to make with children

Fun from infancy! Here are ideas for making toothbrushing puppets with your children.

You’ll need a milk carton, colored construction paper, and white round stickers.

Cut the milk carton and transform it into your favorite animal! For the final touch, stick the white round stickers—pretending they’re teeth—inside the mouth.

Infants can enjoy this step too, so it’s great to work on together with parents or teachers.

How about practicing scrubbing teeth with the milk-carton toothbrushing puppet you made as a team?

Let’s make use of materials that would otherwise be thrown away! Here’s an idea for a toothbrushing hippo doll made from cardboard and nut shells.

You’ll need cardboard, scissors or a utility knife, tape, nut shells, and glue or a hot glue gun.

Cut the cardboard into the shape of a hippo and attach the nut shells! By creating with materials you’d normally discard, you can also nurture a sense of valuing things.

It’s also charming to craft the hippo’s facial features using paper clay or plastic bottle caps.

Toothbrushing doll made from construction paper

Impactful and fun! Here’s an idea for a toothbrush doll made with construction paper.

You’ll need thick paper (cardstock), a face made from construction paper, a mouth interior made from construction paper, glue or double-sided tape, and scissors.

Fold the thick paper to make a base, then cut the paper face in half and attach it to the thick paper.

At first glance it looks like an ordinary illustration, but the mechanism that makes it look like the mouth opens wide will surprise the children.

It’s a fun, attention-grabbing idea with real impact.
