Vinyl Teeth Brushing Mirror Chart for Kids

 This vinyl teeth brushing mirror chart post contains affiliate links.

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.

Vinyl teeth brushing mirror chart for 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!

How do you make sure your kids brush every day?

    Smart idea! Our kids have chore packs that they do everyday and you can bet brushing your chompers is on there twice!

    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.

      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!

    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!

    This is a great idea! If you turn your pens upside down, they will actually write better and last longer.

      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! 🙂

      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.

    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.

      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.

      You have to make it with a cutting machine. The tutorial gives instructions.
