Learn how squirrels keep their teeth healthy and strong by gnawing and chewing! Perfect for kids aged 4.
Hey there little explorer! Did you know that squirrels have special teeth? Just like you have teeth that help you chew your food, squirrels have teeth that help them eat too!
Squirrels like to eat nuts, fruits, and sometimes even tree bark. Their teeth keep growing, so they need to chew on things to make them shorter. If they didn’t chew, their teeth would get too long!
When squirrels bite down on nuts or wood, it helps wear down their teeth. This is very important because if their teeth are too long, it can hurt them. So, they are always munching to keep them just right!
Squirrels can even gnaw on things that are very hard! That makes their teeth strong and helps them eat all the yummy foods they love.
You can pretend to be a squirrel by making chewing sounds and pretending to nibble on your favorite snack. Just like the squirrels, we need to snack on our food to keep our teeth healthy!
So, remember, squirrels wear down their teeth by chewing on nuts and wood. It’s their way of taking care of their teeth!
