Ask a primary school teacher what shapes they end up printing most often, and a tooth will almost certainly be on the list. Dental health week, a classroom display about brushing habits, a tooth fairy project after a child loses their first tooth, these things come around every year, and they always need the same shape. The problem is that drawing a tooth that actually looks like a tooth is harder than it seems. If you get the crown wrong, it looks like a cloud. If you get the roots wrong, it looks like something else entirely.
The tooth templates sort that out. The shapes are already there, drawn and proportioned, ready to print and use for the project. There are five different pages here, from a single large outline to sheets with six or nine shapes on them for classroom and group activities. Download tooth templates today and have them ready before the next time someone needs one.
Teachers probably reach for these the most. Dental health month comes around every year, and so does the scramble for something printable and ready to use. Science lessons about the human body, bulletin boards about healthy habits, and oral hygiene activities all need a tooth shape at some point. Having one already printed means the class can get straight into the activity.
But it is not just classrooms. When a child loses their first tooth and decides the tooth fairy deserves a proper handmade envelope or a little note, a tooth template becomes even more useful. Dentist waiting rooms use them for decorations and patient displays. Crafters cut them from felt and foam for sensory projects and homemade toys.
If you are planning a broader craft activity, these free printable house coloring templates can be printed with a tooth template, so children get more pages to show creativity.
One bold molar outline fills most of the page, drawn with a thick, clean line. The template has a crown curve at the top and two roots at the base. It is big enough to colour easily, write inside, or decorate according to the project. Good for tooth fairy displays, single craft projects, or any time one large tooth shape is all that is needed.
Two molar shapes on one page, each drawn with a looser hand that gives them a more organic, natural feel. The crowns are broader with three visible cusps, and the roots spread wider and lower than a typical molar drawing. They work well for projects where something that looks genuinely hand-drawn.
Six matching tooth shapes in two neat columns, each one drawn with a consistent line and a small heart-shaped indent at the top of the crown. Medium-sized and evenly spaced, this page is the most practical option when everyone in the room needs the same shape to work with. Cut them apart and hand one to each child, or use the whole sheet as a single colouring page.
For anyone running a full craft table rather than a single activity, these printable flower vase templates give you another shape to work with once the teeth are done.
Four tooth shapes are arranged two across and two down. The top pair has a thin line detail near the crown, while the bottom two are completely plain with nothing inside at all. The difference is small but useful when a project needs slightly different versions of the same shape on the same page. All four are a good size for cutting apart and using individually.
Nine teeth across three rows, each row drawn in a slightly different style. The top row has a small bracket and dot inside the crown that gives each tooth a bit of personality. The middle row is cleaner with just a single line near the top. The bottom row is the most stripped back, plain outlines with slightly more open root spacing. Three styles across nine shapes means this page works well when you need quantity but do not want every single one looking identical.
Print the template that fits your requirements, cut it out, and your project will have a proper start before anyone has picked up a pencil. Use these templates to make the tooth shape the easiest part of the whole project. A good starting point makes everything that follows easier, and that is exactly what these tooth templates are for.
