Where do You Put The Tooth?
A couple of months ago I wrote about how my four year old lost not one, but two teeth. My husband and I were unprepared for such a rite of passage to arrive so early. I kept my tooth fairy pillow from when I was a little girl, so I let my daughter use that. What happens when my son loses his tooth though, because I didn’t have a tooth pillow for him.
Through my astute research I have found many cute ideas for where to put the tooth for the tooth fairy. Putting the tooth loose under the pillow is so yesterday, you need some sort of vessel.
These gingham tooth pillows can be personalized. The satin tooth doubles as a pocket to hold the tooth.
Here is a handmade tooth pouch that comes in a variety of colored fabrics and have tiny bells attached to the ends of the draw strings. They each come with a small poem attached for the tooth fairy.
If you don’t want to put the tooth under the pillow, which would be easier for the “tooth fairy” to make the exchange, you can try a tooth box. They come in colorful decoupaged prints and designs, a soft pillow inside on which to cushion the special tooth and “fairy dust”. They each also arrive with a poem.
For a inexpensive option, this tooth fairy pillow is adorable. It is made with a soft flannel and has a felt pocket that is trimmed with ribbon. There is a charm that reads ‘Believe’ and a verse in the pocket. This pillow has a handle for hanging in between uses. At $10.00 you will still have money left over for your child.
I had thought about making my son his own pillow to make it a little bit more special. There are directions here about how to do just that.
