Fun Ways to "Help" the Tooth Fairy

Well, we've hit another big step in our parenting (and childhood) journeys: Froot Loop lost his first TWO teeth! The first one came out about a week after he turned 6 1/2 and the second one was exactly 3 weeks after the first. Then, we had our first tooth fairy visits! We decided we didn't want to go the "normal" money route and we have been going with LEGOS instead. Here are a bunch of other ideas y'all can use for the tooth fairy! 

We sort of had a mini adventure with them because he developed "shark teeth," where his adult teeth grew in behind his baby teeth before the baby teeth fell out. We had to "motivate" the baby teeth to come out, but didn't force them, and out they came! The first tooth was a surprise, since the adult tooth was so close behind the baby tooth, that it didn't really get a chance to get very wiggly before it was ready to come out. The tooth fairy was caught unprepared! 

A Metal Treasure Box: is the perfect container to hold those little teeth in. It measures  2.67 x 1.88 x 2.04 inches, so it's also a perfect size for a small trinket the tooth fairy leaves behind. 

A book is always a fabulous idea for the tooth fairy to leave behind. What does the Tooth Fairy do with our teeth? Does she build castles with them? String them into necklaces? Maybe--but that's not all she does! See all the amazing, unusual, magical things the Tooth Fairy does with our teeth in this award winning book.

Tooth Fairy Certificates are a fun way to celebrate those lost teeth as well. Since I didn't have time to buy anything ahead of time, I made my own, but I wish I had used these instead. 

Fortunately, I had some Mini Envelopes for Teeth handy for his first tooth! I wrote the date and the tooth inside the flap, and the tooth fairy took the whole package with her. 

This gorgeous Dragon Tooth Fairy pillow with pocket has a front belly pocket for both the tooth and treasures. It measures 9" tall. 

This next one is more for Mom and Dad than the little ones... It's the Tooth Fairy DVD. Dwayne Johnson stars as Derek Thompson, one of the toughest hockey players around -- until he's sentenced to one week's hard labor as the world's most unlikely tooth fairy! Even though he must sport frilly wings and learn the magical tricks of the trade from his silver-winged superiors (Julie Andrews and Billy Crystal), Derek's determined to do the job HIS way and prove he's got what it takes!

Dinosaur Tooth Animal: The stuffed animal's pouch is the perfect way to safely store a lost tooth and the money the tooth fairy leaves behind. Danny is 8.5 inches tall, 11 inches long a perfect size for little ones, but large enough to find in the dark after your boy or girl falls asleep. 

Here's another item for Mom and Dad- A Baby Tooth Organizer and Scrapbook: Give your child's baby teeth a home in your family memories. Specially designed to be light weight and lie flat on a page, our patented baby tooth organizer can be placed in your very own family scrapbook or photo album. Simply rotate the opening of the clear plastic cover over the appropriate tooth well (use our baby tooth chart as a guide), place the baby tooth inside and rotate shut to keep the tooth safe.Use our baby tooth chart to keep track of your child's changing smile and write special notes and dates.

This next one wins huge points for technology! The Toothless Monster: Are you looking for a wildy fun Tooth Fairy experience for a special child in your life? The Toothless Monster is the ONLY toy that gains a tooth each time a child loses one!
These Monsters don't replace the Tooth Fairy tradition, they enhance it by providing a fun, interactive conclusion to the usual cash-for-tooth swap. In fact, The Toothless Monster was created when a little girl asked her parents where teeth go when the Tooth Fairy takes them. An off-the-cuff reply that she gives them to a creature in need eventually led to the idea for a more magical, meaningful, Tooth Fairy experience. More rewarding than any tooth pillow, box, or holder, The Toothless Monster book and plush doll teach children a subtle lesson about empathy, kindness, and giving. Kids absolutely LOVE helping Monte earn his teeth!
 
Here's how it works:
When your child loses a tooth, start reading the book to learn why not having teeth is a BIG problem for a little Monster. Partway through, the book will tell you to stop reading until the child has given a tooth to their Monster.
Before going to bed, the child will place their baby tooth in the secret tooth pouch located under the Monster’s tongue.
That night, the Tooth Fairy (wink wink!) will collect the baby tooth, leave the gifts of their choosing, and permanently snap one of the provided plastic teeth into the Monster’s jaw.
The next morning, your child will be thrilled to find not only their Tooth Fairy gifts, but also that their Monster magically gained a new tooth!
The process repeats with each lost tooth. The book concludes after four teeth, but you can continue giving teeth to The Toothless Monster for as long as you like (16 teeth are included.)
