Losing a tooth is a significant milestone in a child’s life. It signifies that they are getting older and soon an adult tooth with take over the spot of their baby tooth. My son actually lost his first tooth by biting into a plastic toy piece of pizza. I will never forget the day. I actually called his dentist to make sure it was ok because he never complained about the tooth being loose. Usually you go through the entire process of a wiggly tooth and waiting impatiently for weeks for it to finally come out.
In any event, I was not prepared at all for this tooth coming out. I didn’t have a special pillow, glitter for his money or a card for the tooth fairy to leave. I quickly called by husband and asked him to pick up a few items on his way home from work. I left a hand written note, money and 3 chocolate eggs. I know what your thinking, chocolate eggs from the tooth fairy? They are his favorite and we left three for him to share with his two sisters. It all went over well and he was super excited.
Needless to say, as soon as this happened, I took to Etsy and purchased all the things from the tooth fairy. My first purchase was a tooth fairy pillow. Every child needs a place to store their tooth under their pillow and how cute is this fairy tooth pillow?
Now how does the tooth fairy get into your child’s room? By their own mini door of course. These mini doors are completely customizable in color. I have pink for my daughters room and will be ordering one in red for my sons room. They come with a mini mailbox for your child to write a note to the tooth fairy and for them to write back.
Next, you need to have mini notes to put inside that mailbox. How cute are these letters? If your child needs a magnifying glass to read the small writing, one has been included for you. I have used large and small letters from the tooth fairy, so I wanted to give you with options.
I always leave money under my child’s pillow. I purchased a glitter spray and now spray all of their money. It’s very customary that the tooth fairy only carries glitter money. I have to admit, it’s really fun to not only decorate the money but watch the kids faces when they see all the glitter.
This is such a magical time for your child. Leave some love from the tooth fairy, whether it be with glitter money or a personalized letter. Your child will remember this moment forever.
