Celebrate Dad This Father's Day with These 5 brush-baby Approved Treats

Father’s Day is a great excuse to show Dad how much you care. What better way to spoil him than by creating delicious, tooth-friendly treats that the whole family can make together? 

Not only are these ideas kind to his teeth, but they’re also the perfect way to introduce the idea of good oral health to your little ones. 

We’ve put together our top five treats that Dad (and his dentist!) will love, plus some bonus tips on how brush-baby products can help protect little teeth after all the fun.

1. Berry Yoghurt Lollies

Berry lovers, this one's for you! Whizz up Greek yoghurt with your family's favourite berries and a little drizzle of honey (for those over one year old). Pour the yummy mixture into popsicle moulds and freeze for a few hours. These lollies are so refreshing and loaded with calcium and natural sweetness from the fruit. 

Smile Tip: After sticky treats, reach for our baby gum wipes to give your little one’s gums a quick clean.

2. Banana Oat Pancakes 

Start Father’s Day with a stack of naturally sweet and satisfying pancakes. Mash a ripe banana, mix with an egg and a handful of oats, then pan-fry in a non-stick frying pan. Serve with fresh fruit or a sprinkle of cinnamon. The kids will love helping mix the batter! 

Smile Tip: Encourage your little ones to use a kids toothbrush after breakfast to protect those pearly whites from lingering sugars.

3. Homemade Apple Crisps 

Thinly slice some apples, sprinkle with cinnamon, and bake them slowly in the oven until crisp. The result: a simple, healthy treat with no added sugar. 

Smile Tip: If your toddler’s teeth are still coming through, soothe their gums with one of our teething-friendly baby teethers like our brush-baby Bobbie Bunny teether.

4. Cheese and Veggie Platter 

Who says tasty treats have to be sweet? Create a colourful platter with bite-sized cubes of cheese, an assortment of crunchy vegetables, and maybe even a bit of hummus for dipping. It’s nutritious and tooth-friendly, packed with calcium and fibre. 

Smile Tip: Don’t forget to use age appropriate childrens toothpaste to keep tiny teeth squeaky clean after savoury snacking.

5. Trail Mix Jars 

Get creative and make your own tooth-friendly trail mix. Use a variety of unsweetened dried fruit, nuts (for older kids and adults), seeds, and a handful of whole grain cereal. Pack it up in a pretty jar and you’ve got a thoughtful yet practical gift for Dad. 

Smile Tip: After snacking, our kids toothbrushes and kids toothpaste can help your little ones maintain healthy brushing habits.

Teaching Healthy Habits Together 

While Father's Day is a time for sweet treats and celebrations, it's also the perfect moment to remind little ones about the importance of caring for their teeth. With our brush-baby range of baby brushes, childrens toothbrushes, teething toys, and baby gum wipes, maintaining a healthy smile for little ones has never been easier for dads (and mums!).

This year, give Dad a celebration packed with flavour, family fun, and happy smiles all round. 

Happy Father’s Day from all of us at brush-baby!
