App Profile: Brush Teeth with The Wiggles

Welcome to the wonderful world of teaching your children how to have healthy teeth! This App was created by The Wiggles in conjunction with Dental experts to help build healthy habits around regular care of your young child's teeth.

The Wiggles have been entertaining and delighting children for almost three decades. They see things from the perspective of the child. It is the basic tenet that informs their work. Because their performances are developmentally appropriate for their young audiences, they continue to attract and involve those audiences.

Emma Watkins (The Yellow Wiggle), Lachy Gillespie (The Purple Wiggle), Simon Pryce (The Red Wiggle) and Anthony Field (The Blue Wiggle) and their friends are as appealing to the newer generation of preschoolers as the original Wiggles were to their older brothers and sisters and even, in some cases, their parents! The Wiggles effectively use their own skills as performers to build rapport with children as they extend their knowledge and understanding of those children’s needs and interests.

The Wiggles appeal is international as it continues to be based on current thinking in early childhood development and learning. Children need opportunities to develop a sense of their own identity, to become connected with their world and to contribute to it, to develop a strong sense of wellbeing, to become confident and involved learners and effective communicators. The Wiggles are well aware of these desired outcomes and keep them in mind as they plan and perform.

So enjoy The Wiggles as they help your child have healthy teeth. Happy brushing!
