The Nurture Hub
Every day brings a new adventure. From conquering the high chair to scaling the bookshelf, your child's world is a playground of discovery. But amidst the epic explorations, one thing can feel a little…….ordinary – brushing teeth.
The Little Brushing Guide
Our top tips for tiny happy mouths.
Say goodbye to brushing battles and hello to happy, healthy habits. This is the Little Brushies way.
TIP 1
Get them comfortable with their toothbrush
Encourage your child to see their toothbrush as a friend and let them explore and play with it even outside brushing time.
TIP 2
Simple trick to help your child open wide for brushing
Encourage your little one to roar like a bear and show off their big, bright teeth!
TIP 3
Measure out the toothpaste together
Let your child squeeze out the toothpaste for a sense of fun and independence—just be sure to use the correct amount! See our guide below.
TIP 4
Let them hold their favourite toy whilst brushing
Make brushing a fun role-play! Let your little one brush their toy's teeth whilst you brush theirs!
TIP 5
Brush together
Boost their excitement by taking turns! Brush after them or let them follow your lead!
TIP 6
Give them a bear hug
The easiest way to brush a baby's teeth is to sit them on your knee, with their head resting against your chest.
TIP 7
Turn brushing into a game - bring in a hand puppet for fun!
Pop a puppet on your hand whilst still holding the toothbrush, and let it do the brushing for a playful twist!
TIP 8
Bring Brushi Bear to life!
Remember Brushi Bear isn't your average bear. He's a tiny smile hero on a mission to make brushing fun! Personify him...give him a voice!
THE BRUSHI BEAR SONG

Dance your way to clean teeth!
