Children’s Museum of Phoenix: Hidden Smiles
Head to the Art Studio to discover the science behind the magic—and the importance of brushing!
Use white crayons to draw a hidden tooth, then reveal your design with watercolor paints as wax and water resist each other. Just like plaque we can’t always see, this activity shows how hidden layers can affect our teeth—and why keeping them clean helps every smile shine bright.
