Brush Your Own Teeth Helper | Visual Routine Cards

Brushing teeth seems simple, but for many children it includes a lot of hidden executive functioning steps.

They have to gather supplies, remember the order, brush different areas, rinse, clean up, and keep track of what comes next. The Brush Your Own Teeth Helper gives children a clear visual path through the routine so they can move through each step with less overwhelm and fewer repeated verbal reminders.

Part of the I Can Do It Series, this printable resource includes both a full-page visual guide and individual routine cards that can be cut apart, laminated, and placed on a binder ring.

Use it in the bathroom, bedroom, homeschool space, therapy room, classroom, or anywhere a child needs extra support with daily self-care routines.
