For this project, we decided to head to Walmart to find some affordable dental care products to purchase for underprivileged kids. CFK likes to challenge people to “Buy 2, Give 1.” I love this idea because it’s so easy for everyone to help the community, and even just buying one item to contribute can help. Just think if everyone did that how much of an impact it would make? The dental section at Walmart is fairly large. We found some cool Arm & Hammer Kids’ Spinbrush My Way toothbrushes, which are electric toothbrushes for kids that can be decorated to make as their own. We were going to Buy 2, Give 1, but then we decided to Buy 2, Give 2 instead. Both my daughter and son want to help and make a dental pack to share with kids in need. Kendal is going to make a girls’ pack, and Drew will make a boys’ dental care pack. We picked out some toothpaste, mouthwash, and flossers to go in our dental care packs with the Spinbrushes. And for $5.72 a piece for an electric toothbrush, that’s a great deal! The travel section is also a great place to look for affordable items as well!
After we got home from Walmart the kids decorated their Spinbrushes which they were super excited to do! I love how the Arm & Hammer Kids’ Spinbrush My Way Toothbrushes has kids personalize them and make them their own. Now my kids are so proud of their toothbrushes and want to use them even more! It’s so cute how decorating the toothbrushes brings such pride and ownership to their dental care products. Anything to get kids more interested in taking care of their teeth is a plus for me!
Here’s how the Champions for Kids SIMPLE Service Project works (from their site):
Loving Champions For Kids! Thank you for sharing, what a great way to give back 🙂

What a great project! We’ve started a new tradition at christmas. We don’t give gifts anymore. It’s all about the charity work and the kids love it! Can you believe that? Probably because the dozens of family members still get them gifts. lol
What a great program.
Great idea!!
My daughter loves hers!
Great project!!!
Love this. Great idea! Kids excited about brushing their teeth rather than thinking of it as a chore!
That is super nice! I would love to do stuff like this.

I love a great charity. I just donated a bunch of dental supplies to a halfway house near here. I love seeing people trying to clean up their act. The least I can do is help them clean up their smile. =)
how awesome is that!
More companies need to have charitable missions. I love that Arm & Hammer is taking the initiative and giving back to kids!
Great idea. Thanks.
This is a fantastic idea! It always makes me feel good to give to those in need 🙂

Love this program
Aw, this is wonderful! Great idea!
I love to see programs like this! I did one of my internships at a homeless shelter and we were always in need of hygiene products! xoxo
This is awesome. We need programs like this.
I think your idea of giving dental items to your elementary school nurse is great! It’s inspired me to give some of my stockpile of toothbrushes to those in need 🙂
I think this is a great program helping the kids in need. I hope everyone will help out!
Great program
This is a wonderful program! Thank you for sharing!

Anything that encourages them to brush is a blessing.
Great! Very important to use ways to help care for teeth
What a great program!

It is a great thing to do.
Good ideas. I just donated a bunch of dental floss and sample size toothpastes to our Church to help out single moms on food stamps. Apparently they can’t use food stamps for this kind of purchase (or paper products or cleaning products). We have a collection once a month to try and help the Single Moms.
great project, luv the spinbrushes, fun for kids while getting the brushing done !
Great project!
Great way to help others. God bless…
Hi i think this is great and this gave me an idea to do something with my grankids thanks joannie sparks

Sweet ….. great idea
Nice coupon. Thanks!
I love how your kids got involved in this great cause! Love the cause too since I worked in the dental field for many years and know how important it is to start those healthy habits early so that those kids don’t have problems with their teeth later. Great post!
this makes me want to try the spinbrushes even more!
Such a worthwhile program! Proper oral care is so important, and it’s so great to start children on the road to good dental habits early in life!
That awesome!! I love my spinbrush!!

Great job! Your pictures are very cute and it’s awesome to involve our kids in projects like this.
You have such a beautiful family. I found this post inspiring! What awesome tooth brushes too, I bet if I had one when I was a kid I would have wanted to brush more 🙂
what a terrific program. good job, and thanks for contributing.
I think it’s great to donate to charities even though everyone doesn’t have alot to donate it’s still a good feeling. There are people who are in more need than you. Good luck!
what a great way to give back!
These are so nice for kids to get them to brush their teeth, and you get to give bac at the same time
What a great idea…I’m going to share with my co-workers!
It is great to involve your kids at a young age in charity work
This is a great way to give back. I really like how your kids decorated their spin brush toothbrush.
What a great idea! I will definitely look into doing this for some of the local kids. Thanks for all you do. And thanks for the coupon link.
Fantastic! I had no idea that Arm & Hammer does this for kids. I also think kids must love the way they can decorate the spinbrush.
What a great idea! Thank you for sharing!
