Tooth Fairy Printables and a Tooth Holding Keepsake

Congratulations another childhood milestone has been reached, and your child is starting to get a wiggly tooth. The always popular tooth fairy is about to make her first visit and you can introduce the magic of the tooth fairy to your child using this special letter from the fairy and optional tooth fairy blanket keepsake. A loose tooth is a big deal for a small child and the whole tooth fairy experience is a great way to have fun with your little one, and make losing a tooth more fun and celebratory than worrying about what they will look like with a tooth missing.

Free Tooth Fairy Certificates

I created several different tooth fairy certificates you can leave under your child’s pillow. Each tooth certificate is different and comes in two sizes, full letter size, or mini size. The mini size comes 4 on a letter size sheet.

This next set of tooth fairy certificates has a different style and includes two certificates designed for little boys.

Free Tooth Fairy Letters

Another idea is tooth fairy letters you can place in a special place along with the child’s tooth fairy gift. They are created in the same style as the certificates if you want to use them together. You can download and print the cute free printable tooth fairy letter individually in letter paper size or, 4 little letters to a sheet in miniature size.

Extra Special Tooth Fairy Keepsake and Tooth Fairy Letter

The tooth fairy letter for the keepsake has special wording, offering the fairy a quick nap. I used to make and sell these little fairy gifts at a local gift shop and they were always popular. This tooth fairy letter is sent to the tooth fairy when your little girl or little guys tooth drops out. There is one in pink and one in blue. They download and print out the same way as the other free printables do, but with this letter, you can use regular printer paper.

Adding Fairy Dust

Younger children are just so much fun. They teach us all how to find simple joy. I love the idea of the tooth fairy making a special occasion out of that first lost tooth that could be a little bit scary for little ones.

If you want to add more sparkle and a touch of magic to your tooth fairy activities consider adding some glitter. Use a glue stick to attach a sprinkle of fairy dust to the front of your letter or certificate. If you’re not concerned about the mess sprinkle a little trail of fairy dust towards the window, to encourage your child’s imagination and proof where the fairy must have found their way through.

Tooth Fairy Pocket and Blanket Tutorial

Tooth fairies can get tired of going to 300,000 homes a night. They can’t nap for long but I imagine can appreciate a small cozy place to rest, especially on cold nights.

Tooth Fairy Pillow Blanket Tutorial

This sweet little sew craft project will take less than an hour. It’s a perfect excuse to buy a tiny bit of soft and sweet flannel in those pretty juvenile patterns. If you sew regularly check out your scrap pile for fabrics as this little tooth fairy bed craft only uses two square feet of flannel and a tidbit of lace. It’s a great little keepsake for your little one. They can tuck their baby tooth into the little tooth pocket and wait to see what happens.

Tooth Fairy Pocket and Blanket Supplies

To make the fairy blanket with a tooth pocket you will need.

If you have a leftover flannel baby blanket, it would be so sweet to upcycle it into this little tooth fairy blanket. It’s been a very long time since I had a receiving blanket anywhere in our house, but I found some soft and pretty fairy printable flannel instead.

Fold the felt in half and cut out two pieces of felt in the shape of a tooth. Place the interfacing between the two layers of felt and iron.

Trim edges neatly.

Sewing the Fairy Blanket

Cut your flannel pieces 12″ square. Sew all edges with a zig-zag stitch or a serger to prevent fraying.

To create the pocket, sew the tooth to the good size of the flannel with the sewing machine. Finish with blanket stitches using embroidery cotton.

Pin good sides together and sew on three sides leaving the edge open.

Turn inside out and press.

Make the Mattress

Cut your quilt batting into a 10″ by 9″ piece.

Fold in half along the short side so it’s 4.5″ by 10″.  Sew around all sides.

This makes the mattress long enough to fill in the length of the blanket cover and a little bit narrow in width to leave room for the fold of the cover.

Insert the mattress into the flannel making sure the back corners are aligned. Sew along the middle of the flannel to secure the mattress in place.

Turn the edge of the open seam in and press. Insert and pin the lace into place. Sew along the edge to close.

Tooth Fairy Folklore

Sewing this little blanket made me wonder about the history of the tooth fairy. The tooth fairy existed when I was a little one, wiggling my tooth out dreaming of the loot I would haul in. I was very surprised to find out that she is a fairly new 20th-century North American concept. She does not have a long tradition and it’s only in recent years that children have been taught that the cleaner the tooth is the more reward it’s worth.

What Does a Tooth Fairy Do Exactly?

The tooth fairy tradition exists around the world. It’s an ancient tradition that’s been around for thousands of years. In different cultures, there are mice, beavers, and other animals that collect children’s teeth. In North America, the relatively new Western tradition of the tooth fairy is to help children keep their teeth clean. As the tooth fairy is taking the baby teeth back to her village she pays more for a pretty clean healthy baby tooth than she does for one that isn’t clean. Your family dentist will encourage you to use the tooth fairy folklore, and you can contact them to see if there is a gift from the dental office for it.

How Much Does the Tooth Fairy Give?

According to recent polls, the tooth fairy gives $5 per tooth. It’s very much a budget thing and parents can always start a cash-free tradition, the fairy can give a small gift instead. The tooth fairy certificates can be used as a gift as well.

Remember to brush and floss…..  🙂 Leanna
