This morning Megan had a dentist appointment and that got me thinking about how it might be fun to set up a dentist office for the dolls for one of our 100 Days of Doll Play activities. I was able to make a toothbrush for the dolls in a matter of minutes and created some printables for your doll dentist office too.
One of our guests today, Madison, brought her Kit doll with her. Since Kit just happened to be right near by when I finished making the toothbrush, Kit got to be our model. If you have the doll salon chair that would make a great dentist chair for the dolls, too.
It’s so easy to make a doll sized toothbrush! Cut off a piece from a popsicle stick about one inch long. I also rounded the edges a bit. Make a rectangular cube from Model Magic clay and make the appearance of bristles by making lines with a toothpick. Place the rectangle on the popsicle stick. Take a small piece of blue Model Magic and form it into a little snake so it looks like toothpaste. Tada!! It’s done.
Now for the printable activity for today. Print out the sheet to get a sign for you dentist office, an x-ray to show your doll how well she has been taking care of her teeth, and a note from the dentist. I’m sure your dolls will all want to visit the dentist after they find out how much fun it is!

Hopefully your doll’s are well behaved at the dentist office and no one has any cavities! Since I just got a request for more doll toothbrushes, I’m off to make some more. Luckily they are pretty easy to make.
Firstie! Oh, and good idea!
Adorable! And I think I am a secondie or thirdie!
Secondie! That’s cool, I just had an orthodontist appointment yesterday!
thirdie(I think) too cute!
omg so cute!
This is really one of the best so far, Char. Love it.
adorable! You are so very creative
Thanks Charlie – that means a lot!
i love it!!! but i have to wait and make it tomorrow…………:(
Cool!! I was waiting all day for this and I’m not dissapointed!! As always amazing craft.
cute and cool yes ONE of the best they are all the best
This was perfect for me Char, because I had to go to the dentist this morning and get my tooth pulled!
How cute! Just another craft idea: Little DIY headbands!
That is precious!
This one is great! CHAR does the clay stuff dry and adhere to the popsicle stick or did you glue.it down? Never worked with the stuff
Lorie – They stayed well while the clay was moist but I am noticing that as they dry they may need a drop of glue or two to keep them in tact.
We made some from Sculpey last year. These are very cute, too, and I love that the Model Magic doesn’t require baking. Very cute!
I already have the Our Generation toothbrush set, but this is really cute.
M – That is a great Idea! I would love for my doll to finally have a headband, since she’s never had one.
How strange i am just getiing my braces in a few weeks and i came back from the orthodontics yesterday….
I actually went to the dentist yesterday to have a baby tooth extracted. My gum is still quite sore. What a coincidence about this Doll Play Day!
I have been wondering how to make a doll toothbrush for quite a while, now I know!
Erin – I just had 2 teeth extracted, and I have to have 2 more done! It’s not a nice experience, is it?
Abigail:- No way!
Anastasia-Thanks! I think it would be good to have a DIY headbands for your doll!
are you really a dentist? (lol just kidding)
Tina – I’m so glad someone found that amusing!
is there any thing we could use beside a popcicle stick
Coffee stirrer, piece of cardboard?
thanks but i found a popcicle stick but it is kind of hard and what i did was but a blue stripe for tooth pace
i made the toothbrush except i didn’t use a popsicle stick.i use clay instead
ohh cooll!
i am doing that in 3 2
thats so cool i also made floss eeee so cute thanks for the great project
is there something else that I could use for the bristles ?
