If your child has lost any baby teeth and you still have any of them, place one of these into a fifth small Zip-Lock bag. Have your child lightly bite down on the side of the Styrofoam cup to created an impression of their teeth, (both upper and lower teeth at the same time). Cut the side of the cup around the area of the bite being careful not to disturb the impressions. Write top on the side where the top teeth mark is and place the piece of Styrofoam into the large Zip-Lock bag. Place all the small Zip-Lock bags containing the items collected into the large Zip-Lock freezer bag. Label the bag with a permanent marker with the following information: 1. Your Child's Name 2.
