Do you have to nag your kids to brush their teeth? A simple vinyl teeth brushing mirror chart for kids, made with colorful adhesive vinyl and marked with a dry erase marker, is a great way to remind kids to brush without nagging incessantly. I love anything that helps make mornings and bedtime run smoothly and these charts are definitely key, especially for younger kids.
I used my cutting machine to make vinyl charts for Luke, Lila, and Tate in colors that matched their bathrooms. I used a calendar template in the software and ungrouped it, removed the bottom two rows of the calendar, and added the names of the kids and the first letter of each day of the week over each column.
This chart can be cut from any vinyl but using a premium vinyl will likely preserve the life of the chart a bit longer.
I cleaned the mirror well, let it dry completely, then used transfer paper to stick the charts onto the bottom corner of the bathroom mirror, in a spot the kids could easily reach.
I used stick on velcro to attach dry erase markers next to each chart. You could also put the markers in a bathroom drawer if you’d prefer to not have them in plain site.
The kids brush their teeth …
… and then use the dry erase marker to check the proper box {the top box is for the morning brush and the bottom box is for the evening brush}. I can quickly see if they’ve brushed and the kids are reminded that they need to when they walk in the bathroom each day.
Each week I’ll wipe away the marks with a wet or dry paper towel and we’ll start fresh.
Luke has his own teeth brushing chart in navy on his bathroom mirror. {His weekday letters look a little wacky here due to the angle of the photo.}
I’m hoping the new charts will inspire some accountability and some very shiny teeth!

Smart idea! Our kids have chore packs that they do everyday and you can bet brushing your chompers is on there twice!
This is the best idea ever!!!!
This is fantastic idea! Despite having tooth brushing on the chore charts, many evenings we get rushed and forget {hangs head in shame} to have our kids brush their teeth! This would serve as a much more visual reminder to us and them since it is in the bathroom.
I think you could sell these… I am serious!
I’d buy one…how much? x
Taking into consideration the vinyl, the transfer paper, my time, and shipping, I’d have to charge $20 per chart. Let me know if you’re still interested.
Love this! I’d really like one chart with the name “Michael”, preferably in the color blue please.
Hope to hear from you!
Thanks!

I’m sorry … I’m not selling them any more.
Would you sell just the file? Not sure if I missed an attached free download…
Randi, how much would you charge for two if they are shipped together? I am TOTALLY interested in two for my girls! Email me at [email protected]
Super cute!!
I want to buy 3! Please e-mail me at starsingr4 at yahoo dot com! Thanks! 🙂
So darn cute. I think I need this…even for my 11 year old still! UGH!
Could you share which calendar you used? I searched the on-line store and couldn’t find one with the days of the weeks on it? Thanks.
I used a completely blank calendar and added my own days of the week as well as the kids’ names. Hope that helps!
I want to buy three!! [email protected]
Found you on Pinterest and I’m hooked 🙂 Love this idea!! Hoping it’s not too late to get my 12 year old son to be a more consistent brusher (I might be pushing my luck).
This is why I LOVE having a Silhouette Cameo!!! Off to make mine now…
I would totally buy one ($20 is still cheaper than buying a Silhouette machine and trying to figure out how to use it…)! This is such an awesome idea!
I would like to buy one also anne.froistad at target dot com.
The cost with supplies and shipping is $20. Email me at [email protected] if you’re interested. Thanks!
What a great idea, I just reblogged this on my Momasaurus dot com
Thanks!
This is a great idea! If you turn your pens upside down, they will actually write better and last longer.
Why can I not find the calendar template in the online store?? 🙂
Nevermind.. I found it while looking through the online store with Firefox, and then purchased it. Then I had to close and reopen Silhouette Studio and recover the image from my download history! Weird! But I got it! 🙂
I’m glad you found it!
Thank you so much for the tooth brushing chart! It’s awesome!
Please email me I would be interested in buying one also. Thanks. Chipmunkca@gmail. com
I would also be interested in buying one. I just got a cameo but am total newbie & think this might be a bit above my skill set, lol. [email protected]
Thanks for sharing!
Are you selling these? Would love two. One for Nora and one for Maren. Please let me know if this is possible. Thanks.
Great idea! We are going to make one for our boys.
Love,this! I bought a calendar template in the online store, have I grouped it, but can’t figure out how to delete the rows. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
It will depend a bit on what your calendar looks like. Mine had separate boxes for each day so I was able to ungroup and delete the boxes. If you want to email a screenshot of your calendar to me {[email protected]}, I can take a look at it and tell you how to do it.
I just bought a new calendar! Lol…I’m so new to all this! One question…how did you get the added row with the days of the week in it? Again…I’m a newbie! Thank you!
Did you use outdoor vinyl to make it waterproof? I don’t know if the indoor kind would hold up when washing the mirror but I’m worried about how permanant the outdoor kind will be.
I used regular vinyl, not outdoor. I’ve had no issues with it peeling back even with cleaning.
Awesome! I will have to give this a try! Thank you! 🙂
Can you please tell me what calendar you used to make this? Thank you.
I used a calendar template from the Silhouette site. I’m not sure exactly which one it was – just a really simple template.
Love. Love. Love. This is such a easy way to give your kids the power to keep their own chart. My boys favorite chore when they were little was so use Windex and clean the mirrors. {probably to look at themselves, HA!} I’m so glad you took the time to share such a fun idea with us.
Where do I find the teeth brushing mirror chart?
You have to make it with a cutting machine. The tutorial gives instructions.
Ok. I thought there might of been an SVG download for it.
