All That Glitters
What could be more exciting than sparkles? Not much, that’s for sure. Glitter is a fairy staple, and there are a few things the tooth fairy could use this shiny craft supply for.
- Fairy Dust: Scatter some glitter outside your door in the yard or in front of your child’s door to let the tooth fairy know where to stop overnight
- Glittery Money: Grab a cardboard box and your glitter – we’re making sparkly money. Using spray glue and loose glitter, or spray-on hair glitter, you can spruce up the money the tooth fairy leaves in exchange for your little one’s tooth. What could be better than bona fide fairy cash?
- Glitter in a Glass: For a cleaner and more contained glitter experience, have your child pick a glass before bed. Fill it with water and place the tooth in, then the next morning when they wake to find the tooth gone, the tooth fairy will have turned boring clear water into a magical fairy footprint (food coloring and glitter get this job done!)
Your Best Friend the Fairy
A simple way to make the Tooth Fairy seem a little more believable is with a note.
