Comments from children who saw Henry’s Wobbly Tooth

“I’m going to tell my friends what a wonderful show you did.” Molly

“I would like to see it every day of every year” James

“I liked it when he squirted the acid.”  Jay

Comments from parents.

“Freya now lets me help her clean her teeth.” Kate

It was such a lovely little play with a lot of thought a meaning to it. You'll be pleased that my 2 kids are off to the dentist tomorrow, an appointment that I had booked before your play and hadn't told the kids for fear they would work themselves up. Your play has made it so easy for them to understand the importance of good teeth. It's funny how kids never listen to their nagging mums isn't it!? Shanti

“I cannot think of a funnier or more engaging way for the children to learn to take care of their teeth.” Deborah Slot, Seaford Primary School

“Clever, entertaining, funny – so refreshing when it is spot on.” Ruth Drake, Brede Primary School.

“A fun way to get across an important message. Suitable for both KS1 and 2, good interaction and participation of pupils during play. Kept all engaged. Very enjoyable, even the staff enjoyed it.” Debbie Mears, Crowhurst Primary School.
