Preschool field trip

For Hayden's Mommy preschool we went on a field trip to Sawyer's Daddy's dentist office.  Dr. Hardy was so great and had props so the kids could understand what he was saying.  My favorite part was when he taught the kids about floss. He had them stand shoulder to shoulder and used a big rope to separate them and show how floss cleans between your teeth.  I know I am teeth obsessed but I must say it was my favorite field trip this year :)

 Parker brought broccoli for the fish and Dr. Hardy put it on these hooks that attach to the tank for the fish to swim by an nibble on.

 The kids were mesmerized!

 Isn't that the most adorable group of kids?  So fun!

 Hay Hay & Park.  Parker knew all the answers about dental hygiene, Hayden mostly sat with her tongue out. Gotta love these girls :)

 Taylor was the bravest and sat in the chair for a ride.  Dr. Hardy showed the kids all his tools and even blew air on them from a water/air tool.  The kids thought the examine room was amazing because it had a TV.

 Here is the polishing machine.  He also showed us how his rotating x-ray machine works and we got to see where all the tools are sanitized in a mini "dishwasher".

No trip could be complete to the dentist with out a fun new toothbrush and toothpaste.  But does Dr. Hardy stop there? Oh No!  He also gave the kids an awesome sand timer, like the ones you would get out of a board game.  He told the kids they should brush until all the sand goes to the bottom.  Isn't that just genius?!  My girls loved it and it has helped so much with brushing time.  Thanks so much Dr. Hardy for the wonderful field trip!!!!
