Colgate asked if we would spend a day crafting with our kids–letting them create invisible nasties. You know those little creatures that live in your mouth and toothbrush if you don’t change it out often that cause cavities. We had fun seeing what our boys thought invisible nasties look like!

This is Jen’s oldest. He used modeling clay to create a mouth (didn’t he do great!) and then painted it.

And added on his not-so-invisible nasties!

This make me want to brush my teeth!

Nikkala also chose to craft with her oldest. She drew shapes off of his instructions and he added the faces.

Once there was a good option of choices they picked out their favorites.

The little nasties were then traced onto felt and sewn, stuffed and decorated.

He had so much fun crafting with Mom and having free reign of the craft supplies! It doesn’t happen very often. Nikkala had fun watching his imagination at work and even enjoyed taking orders from the 4 year old.

His version of invisible nasties—or cavity monsters as he likes to call them!
