Instructions
- Put all your supplies on the tray or cookie sheet for easier cleanup.
- Cut out a piece of paper in the shape of a tooth or print this tooth out.
- If using white paper, color in your tooth using green, black crayons, to show areas on the tooth that need to be brushed.
- Now it’s time to brush your tooth clean! Mix shaving cream and glue together in your container to create puffy paint that resembles toothpaste. Use a toothbrush to brush the paper tooth.
- Add some glitter when you are done to show the tooth is sparkling white!
