There’s a wand option in this shop as well. You can even personalize the pocket on the back of the tooth pillow. I love that there are so many adorable options like tutus, superheroes and ball caps. I did however find another DARLING tooth fairy pillow shop, that comes highly recommended. We’ve had this wand for over a year anticipating my little 6 1/2 year old using it, so they aren’t currently in stock. There is a little pocket in the back that she places her tooth in, and that is where the tooth fairy swaps it out for cash. (you may recognize this name from our Disney themed Boo Basket wands).

Raegan also has a special tooth pillow wand from one of my favorite small shops Kiss You Co. I’ve heard nothing but good things, and that store associates are typically pretty chill about accepting the fairy dust money. Note: I’ll report back about our experience actually spending the money in stores, if Raegan chooses to spend it vs putting it in her piggy bank. I cannot wait for Raegan (and eventually Zarie and Xander) to feast her eyes on this extra special money. Some of the larger shaped pieces fell off after drying, but the end effect is simply magical. I used a sponge brush (though you could easily use a cloth, your finger, or a regular paint brush) to paint on the modge podge, added the glitter, and then did the same to the back after about 3 minutes of dry time. I also REALLY love the look of the shaped glitter that we have, and how it comes in an easy to use shaker. I’ve seen this fairy dust money done a multitude of ways, to include using glitter hair spray, but I honestly didn’t want to go out and buy anything, when I knew I had craft supplies at home. How you ask? I literally used modge podge glue and a glitter shaker. I am also adding a little bit of extra magic by creating glittery fairy dust money. Mark and I decided that we are going to go with $2 per tooth. I was also told that some parents give special collector coins, silver dollars, or rare $2 bills. A lot of parents give a larger loot for the first tooth, and many were caught off guard by the tooth falling out, and ended up giving larger bills for lack of another last minute option. I did a poll on Instagram about how much teeth are going for these days, and most people said between $1-$5 per tooth. So, like most other celebrations, I am bringing you all along for the ride. Low and behold, they’re getting more wiggly by the moment. She said that during snack she felt her two bottom teeth wiggle. She came home from school a week or two ago BEAMING with joy. Y’all, Raegan has been waiting for what feels like forever to get a visit from the tooth fairy. Capturing the Tooth Fairy: Can you catch the Tooth Fairy on camera?
