Tooth Fairy Pillows and Boxes

Felt Tooth Fairy Pillow

This silly and adorable felt pillow has a big grin with a missing tooth. Parents can choose from an array of beautiful color options to personalize the smile, and you can even add a hair bow if you’d like. This plushy pillow is hand-cut and hand-sewn, and it includes both a front mouth and back pocket.

Embroidered Tooth Fairy Pillow

This charming plush pillow hangs from the door handle, making it easy on the Tooth Fairy and exciting for kiddos. Just pop teeth in the pocket on the back, hang it up, and tell the littles the sooner they go to sleep, the sooner they’ll wake up to a surprise. Any bedtime motivation we can get, we’ll take!

Each certificate comes complete with an official seal of approval from the Tooth Fairy; gold foil detailing; and checkboxes for “Healthy,” “Strong,” “Clean,” and “Bright,” which encourage littles to keep up with their daily brushing routine and dentist’s appointments.

Printable Letters and Certificates

Tiny Tooth Fairy Letter and Certificate

Any parent’s ears usually perk up at the words: “instant” and “printable.” This tiny Tooth Fairy letter and certificate is both! The text on the note is fully editable and can be updated for each lost tooth. The designs are hand-drawn or painted and full of whimsy. From the creator: “The stamp on the envelope is a watercolor painting of a fairy sitting and reading on a toadstool. The Fairy and fairy toadstool house on the letter are hand-drawn, too—no off-the-shelf digital images here!” Dreamy, indeed.
