Just after my twin girls turned 5, I noticed that one of Violet’s teeth was wiggly. Of course, I panicked and thought it was way too soon to have a loose tooth. I took to Facebook like I usually do when I need advice from other moms, and of course, I found out it was totally normal and this was pretty much the same age as a lot of other kids started getting wiggly teeth.

After that, I didn’t think much of it. I figured it would take a while to get loose enough to fall out.

About a month later, I picked the kids up from daycare and Violet proudly proclaimed that her tooth had fallen out that day!

Well, that seemed to happen much faster than I thought! Or maybe I was just in denial about how quickly my kids are growing up… 🙂

Of course, when I first noticed her tooth was loose, I made a mental note to look up some cute tooth fairy ideas and traditions and to buy a cute little tooth pillow. I wanted a tooth pillow because I figured it would make the tooth fairy’s job much easier so she wouldn’t have to sneak under a sleeping child’s pillow to get the tooth and replace it with some money.

And of course, due to the fact that I am a perpetual procrastinator, I never got any of that done before her tooth fell out.

Fortunately, Violet and I talked about it, and she agreed that it would be OK to put the tooth in a little baggie to hang from her bed railing.

The tooth fairy managed that just fine! 😉

Well, I decided that now I’m going to be prepared. And I wanted to help you be prepared too! I compiled a list here of awesome tooth fairy ideas and traditions, including some adorable tooth pillows. I hope the tooth fairy becomes a fun tradition in your home too!

If you aren’t afraid of glitter, then the tooth fairy could add some pizzazz and sparkle by sprinkling some glitter around the money she leaves.

So this is more for people with more experience in sewing, but I love how this has a little extension for the tooth to hang off the edge of the bed so the tooth fairy doesn’t have to fumble under a pillow and a sleeping child!

Similar to the tooth fairy receipt, the tooth fairy certificate is another great record keeper. This is actually one of the tooth fairy ideas that our tooth fairy did for the kids for the kids.

23. What to do when You Lose a Lost Tooth from Books and Giggles [not pictured]

I’m sure it happens to plenty of parents out there. A child’s tooth falls out, and before it can get safely under to the pillow for the tooth fairy, it gets “misplaced.” Well, this is a perfect idea to reassure an upset child who is worried that the tooth fairy won’t come!
