Giant Teeth Demonstration Model

The Giant Teeth Demonstration Model is an essential resource for the "Health and Self-Care" strand of the EYFS curriculum. Produced by Tickit, this high-quality model allows children to explore human anatomy on a scale that is easy to understand. The flexible spring hinge is a key feature, as it allows the jaw to remain open independently while a practitioner demonstrates the circular motions of a toothbrush. Children can take turns "cleaning" the teeth, which helps develop the fine motor control and wrist flexibility needed for their own self-care routines. It also serves as a fantastic visual aid for Communication and Language, helping children name different parts of the mouth and discuss healthy eating habits. By making the teeth "giant," the model removes the mystery and potential fear associated with dentistry, turning a vital health lesson into a fun, hands-on activity that empowers children to take charge of their own hygiene.
