Giant Toothbrush

Step 5 1001 uses for a toothbrush...

I hope you have fun with making a giant toothbrush.

Just wait till you see our giant horseshoe magnets :)


If anyone is interested, this science fair project was to see what foods stuck to teeth the most so that you would better brush teeth so nothing remains to build up dental plaque. The teeth are made from empty eggshells filled with plaster. Yes, that was one giant omelette that day... It is set in hot glue on a cardboard box shaped like the lower part of the mouth. A giant batch of homemade reddish play-dough was packed around the "teeth" to make the "gums". Half of a popsicle stick pushed into the gums as a label for each of the foods used. A flappy L-shaped diving board giant tongue was attached to the box. The rest of the mouth was drawn and painted on the poster board. The lower jaw is pushed back against the poster board to complete the 3D effect. The display comes apart easily for a kid to haul up the stairs. OK, maybe a kid and a half...
