Most kids get excited when they lose a tooth, mainly because that means the tooth fairy will pay them a visit. If your child looses one away from home, what are the odds it will even make it home? Does your child put their lost tooth in a special place next to the bed or under their pillow? No matter what your family traditions are when it comes to the tooth fairy, you and your children will enjoy making one or more of these related craft ideas.
