Brushy Brush: Fun Songs to Inspire Healthy Teeth Brushing Habits in Kids | Sesame Workshop

This curated playlist from Sesame Workshop 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.

Listen to the songs Brushy Brush, Singing in the Shower, Say Toothpaste Somebody, Take Care of That Smile, I Gotta Be Clean, and Do De Rubber Duck with your child as they brush their teeth. All of these songs are short and encourage teeth brushing! I Gotta Be Clean is the perfect song to listen to as they brush their teeth as it’s two minutes long, which is the recommended amount of time you should be brushing your teeth. Also listen to the playlist when they’re not brushing their teeth to get them thinking about it and excited to do it later. Establish a routine that kids can follow and enjoy with their dental health with the help of this music, and provide a catchy collection of songs that they can dance and brush to.

Use the provided playlist to encourage your kids to brush their teeth. Have fun and educate them about the importance of brushing their teeth twice a day for two minutes. Help them have a happy and healthy smile!
