![]() Maybe you could set up a savings account for tooth fairy money, which leads to a video game or a big-ticket item your child wants. For instance, your child may like receiving a toy or a healthy snack instead. The tooth fairy gives out an average of $3.70 per tooth, but money isn’t the only option available. Think about what your child would respond to best, and have fun with it! Pay with Something Other Than Money ![]() It could also be special coins that unlock pre-assigned prizes. This could be play money bedazzled with glitter that your child can “exchange” for real money from you. Why would the tooth fairy be carrying around boring old human money? Get creative with the type of currency your child receives. Not feeling the idea of a bracelet as a fun gift, consider a new toothbrush!! I love these fun rainbow bamboo ones, to add a little dazzle dazzle to such a mundane task (daily brushing).Feel like the tooth fairy has gotten a little boring? Want to do something new and exciting for your kids? Check out these creative tooth fairy ideas for 2019, courtesy of Clinton Dental Center. The little details are unreal–I mean the little wand and fairy wings?!! So dang good, and it comes in both a pink and blue option! I am a longtime fan of these real gemstone bracelets, and when I saw that they offered tooth fairy themed ones, I literally gasped. I love the little official gold seal at the bottom. They also offer a smaller postcard sized option here. I’m planning to tie a little ribbon around this and leave it by her pillow. These come in a pack of 32 (Fun Fact: most humans have 20 baby teeth) so you’ll have plenty. How fun are these Tooth Fairy Certificates? They’re almost like little receipts signed by the Tooth Fairy that you can fill in with your kiddo’s name, the date, and the number of teeth lost. I also found the sweetest little seashell tooth pillow that comes with the cutest mini mermaid HERE. She comes with a little tooth shaped drawstring back that you place the tooth in. My Zarie loves unicorns, so I am thinking about snagging it and stashing it away until it’s her time. I also found the cutest little tooth fairy unicorn plush. Looks like shipping takes a few weeks, so if your little one has a wiggly tooth, I’d order sooner rather than later. There’s a wand option in this shop as well. You can even personalize the pocket on the back of the tooth pillow. I love that there are so many adorable options like tutus, superheroes and ball caps. I did however find another DARLING tooth fairy pillow shop, that comes highly recommended. ![]() We’ve had this wand for over a year anticipating my little 6 1/2 year old using it, so they aren’t currently in stock. There is a little pocket in the back that she places her tooth in, and that is where the tooth fairy swaps it out for cash. (you may recognize this name from our Disney themed Boo Basket wands). Raegan also has a special tooth pillow wand from one of my favorite small shops Kiss You Co. I’ve heard nothing but good things, and that store associates are typically pretty chill about accepting the fairy dust money. Note: I’ll report back about our experience actually spending the money in stores, if Raegan chooses to spend it vs putting it in her piggy bank. I cannot wait for Raegan (and eventually Zarie and Xander) to feast her eyes on this extra special money. Some of the larger shaped pieces fell off after drying, but the end effect is simply magical. I used a sponge brush (though you could easily use a cloth, your finger, or a regular paint brush) to paint on the modge podge, added the glitter, and then did the same to the back after about 3 minutes of dry time. I also REALLY love the look of the shaped glitter that we have, and how it comes in an easy to use shaker. I’ve seen this fairy dust money done a multitude of ways, to include using glitter hair spray, but I honestly didn’t want to go out and buy anything, when I knew I had craft supplies at home. How you ask? I literally used modge podge glue and a glitter shaker. I am also adding a little bit of extra magic by creating glittery fairy dust money. ![]() Mark and I decided that we are going to go with $2 per tooth. I was also told that some parents give special collector coins, silver dollars, or rare $2 bills. A lot of parents give a larger loot for the first tooth, and many were caught off guard by the tooth falling out, and ended up giving larger bills for lack of another last minute option. I did a poll on Instagram about how much teeth are going for these days, and most people said between $1-$5 per tooth. So, like most other celebrations, I am bringing you all along for the ride. Low and behold, they’re getting more wiggly by the moment. She said that during snack she felt her two bottom teeth wiggle. She came home from school a week or two ago BEAMING with joy. Y’all, Raegan has been waiting for what feels like forever to get a visit from the tooth fairy. ![]()
