Tooth Fairy Pillows

The Tooth Fairy has been racking up frequent flyer miles in visits to our house over the past year. It seems that all of Jonah’s front teeth have simultaneously agreed on a mass exodus strategy. Not only does he resemble a Jack-0-Lantern whenever he smiles, I’m back to cutting his food back into bite size pieces as if he were a toddler again.

Not to mention the highly inconvenient ritual of hiding a tooth under a pillow. I’m sure this ritual was designed just to torture parents right before bedtime. Baby teeth are teeny tiny and impossible to find when you’re groping your hand gingerly under your sleeping child’s head in the dark. Retrieving them is like playing that horrible Operation game when you were a kid. Your hand is shaking unsteadily, nerves on edge and you break into a sweat as you burrow your hands under the pillow.

I’ve found my hand trapped under my son’s heavy cranium on more than one occasion, terrified of moving and waking him up. Even when I do manage to execute this delicate operation of retrieving the plaque-ridden little tooth and replacing it with money, my son is such a thrasher at night that the errant bill always manages to flutter behind the bed or get lost in the sheets.

These little pillows tooth fairy pillow are a stroke of genius. They’re made from recycled irregular Gama-Go t-shirts, so they’re super-soft and cozy. Even better, they come equipped with a little pocket in the back to store a tooth and the money the tooth fairy leaves behind.  This way, you can avert the morning drama, when your child tearfully rips apart the bedspread in search of payment due.
