Make brushing fun with our reward chart!
Help your child build a healthy brushing habit with our colourful tooth chart. Regular brushing is essential for your child’s dental health, and this chart makes it fun and rewarding.
How to use the chart:
- Download and print: Get your free chart here and print it out
- Display it proudly: Put the chart somewhere visible – like on the bathroom wall or fridge
- Colour together: Each time your child brushes their teeth (morning and night), let them colour in one tooth on the chart
- Celebrate success: The goal is to colour in all 14 teeth for a full week of brushing twice daily
- Start fresh: Print a new chart each week to keep the momentum going
Tips for success:
- Let your child choose their favourite coloured pencils or crayons
- Brush together and colour in your own chart alongside them
- Offer small rewards when they complete a full chart
- Take a photo of each completed chart to show their progress over time
- Praise their efforts, not just results
Make it a game:
Try these ideas to make brushing even more fun:
- Use a timer or play a two-minute song while brushing
- Make up a special brushing dance
- Create a story about “fighting the sugar monsters”
- Let them pick a special toothbrush with their favourite character
For children who need extra support:
Some children may find brushing challenging. Try these adaptations:
- Start with a smaller goal (perhaps 7 teeth in the first week)
- Use stickers instead of colouring
- Create a visual sequence of brushing steps to display next to the chart
- Consider sensory-friendly toothbrushes and toothpaste flavours
