Tooth Fairy

Losing a baby tooth might be a scary event for a child, but thanks to the Tooth Fairy, it's also something to look forward to! In exchange for a tooth left under the child's pillow at night, the generous Tooth Fairy leaves a gift of money and (according to some of my students) other gifts may appear, too. When I proposed drawing the Tooth Fairy to my younger students, there was an enthusiastic response. They had fun depicting the tooth fairy in their drawings. Everyone loves the Tooth Fairy.

Where did this beloved sprite come from? I searched the internet and found a Brief History of the Tooth Fairy on 123dentist.com:

The Tooth Fairy as we know it is a relatively recent creation. Like other myths, it evolved over time. There are traditions, legends and myths dating back millennia with regards to losing your baby teeth.

Early norse and European traditions suggest that when a child lost a baby tooth, it was buried to spare the child from hardships in the next life. A tradition of the "tand-fe" or "tooth fee" originated in Europe for a child’s first tooth, and Vikings used children’s teeth and other items from their children to bring them good luck in battle.

What does the Tooth Fairy look like? No one really knows, because everyone in the house is fast asleep when she visits.

  Maybe the Tooth Fairy looks          like a cat!

Sometimes the Tooth Fairy finds bunk beds in the bedroom, and she has to guess which pillow she'll find the tooth under.

​Or maybe the Tooth Fairy gets a big surprise and finds a FISH in the bed!

Collecting all those baby teeth can be tricky work,
​but the Tooth Fairy always gets the job done:)
