                        - Pictures or actual boxes
                          from various brands of toothpaste
                        
 - Cutouts of sturdy paper in
                          either the rectangle shape of a toothpaste box or the
                          shape of a toothpaste tube (you may want to make these
                          shapes much larger than an actual toothpaste box/tube,
                          especially for younger children)
                        
 - Paint, markers, crayons,

                       Procedure 
                      
                        - 
                          
Show the
                          students the various boxes/pictures of toothpaste
                          packaging.  Talk about how the companies want the
                          packaging to be appealing so people will buy the
                          product. 
                         - 
                          
Either as a
                          class, or individually, the students can think up a
                          name for their brand of toothpaste. 
                         - 
                          
Have them
                          design the packaging for the toothpaste using the
                          mediums provided.

                        - 
                          
Paint with
                          toothbrushes. 
                         - 
                          
Make and
                          decorate pouches out of felt, for storing lost teeth.
                          If felt is not available, design/decorate envelopes
                          for keeping lost teeth.  The students may want to
                          take them home to place teeth under their pillows for
                          the tooth fairy. 
                         - 
                          
Design wings
                          for the tooth fairy.  This can be done with any
                          variety of materials - water colors, glitter,
                          left-over craft supplies (such as buttons, pieces of
                          fabric, etc.)
