How to Make Tooth Fairy Crafts

By , About.com Guide

Check out all of these creative tooth fairy ideas! 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 a tooth 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 tooth fairy craft ideas. You can make tooth fairy pillows or a decorated container your kids can take with them to use to hold a tooth they lose while they are not home.

I hope you enjoy all of these crafts and activities. If you make any of these, make sure you send in a photo to be included in this collection. You can also get your crafts published. You can be one of the first to know when new craft projects are posted if you take a few moments to sign up for the Family Crafts Newsletter and you can also chat about crafts with others in the Family Crafts Forum.
