During dinner one night, my daughter Ellie freaked out while eating corn-on-the-cob.
Mommmmmyyyyyy my tooth feels funny.”
Welp, it was loose, and it was time for Momma (aka the Tooth Fairy) to come up with a few ideas before the first tooth came out. However, here’s the problem. I get lazy. I really mean well, but life happens and you get tired, ya know? But, I wanted to do more than just stick some money under her pillow. She has an active imagination, so I wanted to totally give her some amazing memories!
Trying to tell myself this will NOT end up like the elf-on-the-shelf. ‘Buddy’ may have been forgotten a few days this past Christmastime. Anyhoo…
Here are 5 quick and easy ideas I came across.
- Glitter Dollar – Dollar Store hack! I’m not only lazy, but I’m also cheap. Glitter and glue is all you need. For a little boy or girl, this is a pretty awesome memory.
- Tooth Fairy Certificates – Click on the link and you will have 37 certificates to choose from! Many of these are editable, so you can personalize them.
- Foldable Heart Dollars – I thought this was a super neat idea. Remember origami as a child? From the eyes of a child, I’m sure this is going to be remembered.
- Fairy Footprints – There are a lot of these stickers on Amazon. I also thought maybe some paint/glitter on some paper with the Tooth Fairy money would be a cute idea, too!
- Fairy Receipt Printable – This makes the Tooth Fairy look legit, man. Who can deny a receipt? This is free and editable.
Also, Tooth Fairy literacy is extremely important. Here is a link of some tooth fairy books you can look for/put on hold at your local library,
