#FlannelFriday: Five Little Teeth

I couldn't let February slip by without giving a shout out for National Children's Dental Health Month. I'm lucky enough to have a sister who is a dental hygienist. She always wants me to do a teeth story time in February.

As you can see from the picture above, my teeth magnets are crocheted. Now that I've discovered the joys of felt, I know how easy these would be to make out of felt.

I couldn't find any rhymes so I wrote my own. I asked my sister for advice as to what's good and bad for teeth. Expect groans when you use "This little tooth doesn't like..." and a chorus of "But I like..."

Five Little Teeth
5 little teeth in my mouth
Bit into a peppermint & then there were 4
4 little teeth in my mouth
Got stuck in a caramel apple & then there were 3
3 little teeth in my mouth
Went wobble, wobble, wobble & then there were 2
2 little teeth in my mouth
Lost one on the playground & then there was 1
1 little tooth in my mouth
So lonely, it fell out & then there were NONE!
