Adorable Tooth Fairy Ideas You Can Totally Pull off!

Alexandra F.:  This might be one of the easiest tooth fairy ideas to pull off at the last minute - just add some glitter to the bill or coin you will be leaving under the pillow! That extra sparkle is all you really need to add a touch of magic, but you can also make it into a design like a tooth or fairy wings for an extra special touch.

Alexandra F.:  This tooth fairy idea requires a little advance planning, but is otherwise super easy to pull off. Head to the bank as soon as that tooth starts to get wiggly to request any golden-colored coins, such as the Sacagawea Golden Dollar Coin. Finding gold under their pillow is always exciting for kids!

Alexandra F.:  Use glitter glue to stamp little "fairy footprints" by your child's window sill, dresser, or anywhere the tooth fairy might get into. If you want to go the extra mile, try using a doll or toy figurine's feet to make the footprints look especially realistic. You can use regular glue dusted with glitter if you don't have glitter glue, but just a warning - it can get messy! I wipe the extra glitter off with a damp towel and my finger, but it's not easy!

Alexandra F.:  Exchange your child's tooth with a personalized letter from the tooth fairy. Our tooth fairy doesn't leave anything fancy - a quick note on a post it or drawing of a tooth was enough to please our kids! - but you can get as creative and elaborate as you like. You can download this super cute tooth fairy letter for a fee, but there are some free tooth fairy letter templates online as well.

Alexandra F.:  I love this Tooth Fairy Certificate from Etsy that looks like an actual receipt. One tooth, received and accounted for! And, since it's a downloadable template, it's a cute last minute tooth fairy idea you can print from home any time of day...or night.

Alexandra F.:  A special pillow to hold that lost tooth makes it a lot easier for the Tooth Fairy to find in the middle of the night, without having to rummage around under a sleeping child's actual pillow!

Alexandra F.:  My kids have all been squeamish about losing teeth, and reading a fun book that previews what to expect is such a great way to build excitement and calm jitters. This cute picture book by Natasha Wing is told in the style of the classic Christmas poem by Clement C. Moore, and is a fun read for the days and nights leading up to the big moment.

Alexandra F.:  It's easy to make your own Tooth Fairy Box from small tins or containers, like an empty Altoids or other mint box. Once your child's tooth becomes loose, just hold on to the empty container rather than tossing it away when you finish the mints, and have your child decorate it however they’d like. The tin can hold the lost tooth for the Tooth Fairy to find more easily, or, if your kids are like mine and like to keep their baby teeth, it's a good place to store their growing collection over the years.

Alexandra F.:  Have your child create a DIY tooth fairy box or envelope to hold their tooth using a simple origami tutorial. That way, it will be easier for the tooth fairy to find their tooth under their pillow.
