Activity Sheets for THE LAST LOOSE TOOTH!

Tyler Burke July 23, 2020
TLLT-Worksheets14.jpg

I just finished making 20+ activity sheets for The Last Loose Tooth—including art pages, Tooth Fairy letter templates, lost tooth certificates, puzzles, games, vocabulary activities, and general dental hygiene worksheets!

Download the full-color 25-page PDF here.

I also discovered while working on my book that my kids LOVED inventing their own special tooth characters—they made acrobat, robot, monster, vampire, and giraffe teeth!


KIRKUS: “Humorous, cheery, imaginative illustrations...”

SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL: “A fun and humorous take on tooth loss that is sure to be a relatable hit...”


They also created amazing Tooth Fairies! I encouraged the kids to think beyond archetypal depictions of fairies when they were creating their own, and to think about diversity, what made them special, and their own family history.

“WHAT DOES YOUR DREAM TOOTH FAIRY LOOK LIKE? Do they look like you or someone you know? Do they have a special power? Or a book full of magical spells? Maybe they have a cat or a dragon friend? Do they wear a pointy hat or no hat at all? Does your fairy fly, use a wheelchair, or ride a bike?”

Here is the full list of activities included in the PDFs (links below):

• Make Your Own Special Tooth (art and story project)
• Make Your Own Tooth Fairy (art project exploring diversity)
• My Tooth Loss Diary (chart to fill out dates of lost teeth)
• Classroom Tooth Loss Chart (teeth lost graphed by month)
• Tooth Fairy letter templates (one for JK/SK, one for gr. 1-3)
• Lost Tooth Certificate (for teeth lost at school)
• Dental Vocabulary (two pages)
• Tooth Tips & Facts (three illustrated pages of fun tooth trivia)
• Dental health word search
• Dental health word scramble
• Parts of the tooth (cut-and-paste activity)
• Parts of the mouth (cut-and-paste activity)
• Baby teeth (cut-and-paste activity)

Spring has sprung.
I walked out to my studio in the backyard for the first time in weeks. The plants weren’t looking so hot—which I can’t entirely blame on my self-isolation 😬—but everything else was the same. It was nice to sit at my desk for
I spend most of my day in bed right now, staring at this light Rooksby broke last month. You would think it would bother me, the exposed lightbulb, but I actually find it more interesting to look at now.
I caught a live one.
And now for one of my favourite photos of Rooksby. I wanted to check her weight so I took her to grocery store. #cabbage #patch #kid

I have also had a lot of time to think about good things and boring things. I’ve undone years of crossword sobriety by logging at least 17 games yesterday. 19 ACROSS: Stay safe. SOLUTION: Stay ho
One of my all-time favourite photos of Hugo popped up in my Facebook feed this morning. I present: RECLINING DUDE.
Rooksby standing in the dirt, wearing white stockings, telling me something serious. Hugo a vision in stripes.
Standards are lower right now.
Chiller than thou. 😂

I started an easy no-knead bread last night and finished it this morning. I carried the Dutch oven to the counter and blindly grabbed a napkin from the drawer. It was one my mother gave me years ago, one made by my Italian great-grandmother. I’
I bid on this painting on a whim about a year ago. It was an online auction website and I was the only bidder. I liked it partly because my mom’s name VAL appeared prominently on the canvas. I also just liked it.
