Nuha Brushes Her Teeth

Nuha and Anas love their honey crackers-crunchy, sweet, and perfect for giggling together on the sofa.

But when bedtime comes, brushing teeth is the hardest part of the day.
"I'm too sleepy..." Nuha sighs, chewing on her toothbrush instead of brushing.

The next morning, Anas leans close and wrinkles his nose.
"Nuha, your breath smells like the rubbish bin!"
Nuha gasps and covers her mouth, embarrassed.

At school, her friend Aishah struggles to eat a banana because her tooth hurts.
"The dentist said I had a cavity... I forgot to brush sometimes," she says sadly.
Nuha's eyes widen - even bananas can hurt?

That night, Nuha finally asks the big question:
"Why does my breath smell funny even if I brushed?"
Ummi peeks into her mouth and explains gently that chewing the toothbrush is not the same as brushing properly.

Then Ummi teaches the real steps:
Step 1: A tiny pea-sized dot of toothpaste
Step 2: Little circles, front and back
Step 3: Don't forget your tongue!

Nuha tries again, this time carefully and proudly.
"You're doing great!" Ummi cheers.
Anas claps, "Shiny, shiny teeth!"

Soon, brushing becomes fun - with a brushing chart, stickers, and a daily challenge:
Two stickers every day - one for morning, one for night.
