Your child’s first lost tooth is a momentous occasion to celebrate. Here are a few parenting hacks to help you get ready.
- Decide how much each tooth is worth (e.g. $1).
- Make the first tooth worth more than that (e.g. $5).
- Using glitter paint (or spray on glitter) cover the “first tooth” bill with the glitter. Keep it in a safe spot.
- Keep another stash of coins or bills on hand so that the tooth fairy is always prepared!
- Make a plan! Put the tooth under the pillow, inside a special box, or better yet, hanging in a special pouch on the door knob!
The morning after the tooth fairy comes, your child will smile the best toothless grin you’ve ever seen!
