Whether or not you fill your little one’s Easter basket with candy, consider adding a fun toothbrush to the mix. Make getting fun toothbrushes as exciting as new toys, and they’ll be on their way to healthy habits. For toddlers not-quite-ready to brush their own teeth, check out the Learn to Brush Set by MAM which comes with two brushes. One brush is long enough for you to brush while your little one holds on and helps brush too. When your child is ready to takeover for himself, a second shorter brush with a compact handle is perfect for independent brushing. For babies, check out MAM’s Oral Care Rabbit. The rabbit’s ears fit over your index finger for easy cleaning of your baby’s teeth or gums. The microfiber bunny ears are also great for massaging sensitive gums during teething.

  1. Fantastic guide! This is my son’s first Easter where he’s actually “aware” of what’s going on, so I was desperate to find ideas on what to put in his basket. I don’t want him munching on a giant basket of sugar and wanted to get him things that could entertain him and surprise him. So So cute can’t wait to get some of these things!
