As a parent, one of the most exciting things about raising children is experiencing those special moments and milestones that only parents get to witness. One of those moments is losing your child’s first tooth. It’s a sign that they are growing up and becoming more independent. It’s also a great chance to teach them about the magical tradition of the Tooth Fairy.
Introducing the Tooth Fairy Pillow
If you haven’t already heard about it, the Tooth Fairy Pillow is a great way to make the Tooth Fairy tradition even more special for your child. It’s a cute little pillow that your child can place their tooth in before leaving it under their pillow for the fairy to collect. The Tooth Fairy will then replace the tooth with a little gift or some money, making it an exciting experience for your child.
But why settle for a plain or boring pillow when you can have a special Tooth Fairy Pillow that your child will love? That’s where this free printable from Simply Gloria comes in!
The Simply Gloria Tooth Fairy Pillow & Free Printable
Simply Gloria has created a free printable that you can use to make your child’s Tooth Fairy Pillow extra special. The printable includes a certificate that your child can fill out (with a little help from you) to give to the Tooth Fairy. It also includes a cute Tooth Fairy graphic that you can attach to the pillow to make it extra cute.
To make the pillow, all you need is some fabric, a little bit of stuffing, and basic sewing skills. You can make the pillow in any shape or size you like, but a simple square or heart shape is popular. Simply cut out two pieces of fabric in the shape you want, sew them together (leaving a small opening for stuffing), and stuff the pillow with the stuffing. Then sew up the opening, and you’re done!
Once you’ve made the pillow, attach the Tooth Fairy graphic to the front of the pillow, and print out the certificate. You can either attach the certificate to the back of the pillow or fold it up and place it inside the pillow. Then, next time your child loses a tooth, they can place it in their special Tooth Fairy Pillow and wait for the magic to happen!
Creating a Magical Experience
The Tooth Fairy tradition is a great opportunity to create a magical experience for your child. Here are a few tips to make the experience extra special:
