When your child loses their first tooth, you might wonder how to make their tooth fairy experience truly unique. While taking the tooth and leaving a little money under the pillow is common, make your little one’s first tooth fairy visit special by trying one of these fun traditions before heading to the dentist.

New Tooth Fairy Traditions to Try

1. Tell the Story

Before your little one goes to bed, help them to write a note to the tooth fairy explaining how they lost the tooth. In addition to creating the opportunity for quality time with your kid, you can keep the note in a memory book along with their tooth.

2. Add Some Fairy Dust

When your child drifts off to sleep, and you leave money, add a little glitter to the mix. When they wake up, explain to your child that it’s fairy dust. This inexpensive trick adds a little magic to the situation.

3. Leave a Receipt

Parents can also leave behind a tiny receipt written by the tooth fairy, thanking kids for the tooth and talking about how excited they must be to visit the dentist.

When creating the receipt, use a tiny font and roll the paper into a little scroll, tying it in a bow with dental floss. If you want to create a keepsake that’s even more special, sew a tiny tooth pillow and stash the money and the receipt in its pocket when the tooth fairy visits.
