Of course there are lots of different ways to leave a tooth under a pillow, but why not make a pillow for the tooth – this one from Etsy is a cool Spiderman tooth pillow. After all, even superheroes lose teeth!

I love this idea from Mommy Scene, to make some tooth fairy coins. All you need are some old coins (or small change), glue or paint and glitter – the perfect recipe for Tooth Fairy glitter coins.

#4. Dental Achievement Certificate

And of course, it’s lovely if there is something else left beside money under the pillow after the Tooth Fairy’s visit. Print off our free Dental Achievement Certificate for some official certification!
