Fun Kids Hygiene Ideas – Toothbrush Tutus

by Katie Wallace | Updated: May 17, 2017

Teaching kids good hygiene doesn’t have to be a struggle, it can actually be fun! With a little creativity, you can turn daily routines like brushing teeth and washing hands into something your kids look forward to. These two simple crafts, toothbrush tutus and a glamour discovery soap dispenser, are playful ways to encourage kids to brush, wash, and build lifelong healthy habits.

DIY Tulle Toothbrush Tutus

If your kids resist brushing their teeth, try this quick craft to make their toothbrushes extra special. These toothbrush tutu skirts are adorable, practical, and help kids easily tell their brushes apart. This is especially helpful if siblings have the same sparkly or character toothbrushes. Best of all, you can make toothbrush tutus in just minutes.

Materials:

  • Toothbrush
  • Strips of tulle (about 8″ x 4″)
  • Trim or ribbon
  • Thread
  • Hot glue gun

Instructions:

Fold the strip of tulle in half lengthwise.

Stitch a piece of thread along the folded edge, then gently pull both ends to gather the tulle.

Wrap the gathered tulle around the toothbrush handle and hot glue it in place.

Glue the ends together to form a skirt and add a trim to cover the seam.

Since hot glue is waterproof, these tutu toothbrushes are surprisingly durable. And if they get messy, the tulle can be rinsed clean. Kids will love brushing their teeth with these sparkly accessories!

Glamour Discovery Soap Dispenser

Handwashing gets a fun upgrade with this glittery discovery soap dispenser. Kids will be excited to pump soap when they can spot little treasures floating inside. It’s a simple way to make handwashing interactive while saving money on refills and choosing safe, chemical-free soaps.

How to make it:

Start with a clear liquid soap dispenser.

Add small trinkets like Barbie shoes, plastic jewels, or acrylic flowers.

For boys, try LEGO bricks or mini cars for a playful twist.

Fill with clear soap and screw the pump back on.

The best part? You can refill the dispenser again and again while keeping the treasures inside. Kids will look forward to washing their hands just to see what’s floating around!

So grab some tulle, a few trinkets, and watch your kids get excited about brushing their teeth and washing their hands every day!
