Glue the sides and bottom of the heart to the tooth leave the top unglued. Using a scrap from one sheet of felt, cut out a small heart. You can either freehand the tooth, or you can use a template.ħ. Since my pillows are 9″ x 9″, the tooth is about 5″ tall. On the white sheet of felt, draw a tooth that’s about half the length of your pillow. You should have two square pieces of felt.ĥ. Use the ruler to draw a line from your mark down the short length of the sheet of felt. Measure the length of the short edge along the long edge and make a mark.
I used 9″ x 12 ” sheets, so my short edge measurement came to 9″.Ģ. Measure the short edge of a sheet of felt.With this method, it took me about 30 minutes to make the Tooth Fairy Pillow. NOTE: I made this with hot glue, but if you are feeling up for it, you can do all of the hot glue steps by sewing instead. But now, we are prepared! Make a No-Sew Tooth Fairy Pillow I hope we don’t have to go through this again, and that my sons lose their teeth naturally when they are supposed to. Days later, I created pillows for my sons because you never know. My son doesn’t use a pillow yet! My eyes flew open when I realized that I didn’t have a Tooth Fairy Pillow for him yet. When it came time to place the tooth under his pillow for the Tooth Fairy, we realized we didn’t have a place to put it. He’s still smiling despite the ordeal he went through. When I spoke with her afterward, she mentioned that my son held very still and was an angel for the procedure. Of course, our dentist was amazing, calm, and reassuring throughout the procedure. My husband told me that it wasn’t a great experience-that it looked painful and miserable and it was everything we thought it would be. At the last minute, he took our son to the dentist to have his tooth pulled. My husband could tell that I wasn’t going to be able to stomach the events of the appointment. Losing a tooth earlier than expected is traumatic, but children are resilient. My poor guy was going to have a tooth extracted. There wasn’t much else they could do to save it if the nerve was exposed. After sending her photos, she confirmed that he would likely need the tooth removed. Our son had just had his first visit that month. I knew it was bad we could see a pink dot. But for me, I was especially upset that he chipped a front tooth. I know this happens all the time, but when it happens to your child, it seems way worse. I silently freaked out since there was another family right there and told my husband we had to leave. When I looked him over, I noticed right away that half of his tooth was gone. It didn’t look like a bad fall, and he only cried for a minute. He simply slipped on the playground and hit his mouth against a bar. My son lost his first tooth at 18 months. But one way I coped with the trauma was by making him a Tooth Fairy Pillow. I’m still healing from the trauma knowing that my son’s smile will have a hole in it for the next 7-8 years.

He lost his tooth because of a simple playground accident. But when my youngest son lost his first tooth at 18 months, I wasn’t prepared. And at some point soon, my sons will start losing their teeth naturally. Right now, my sons are young, and the idea of doing something my husband and I do every day like brushing teeth is exciting to them. While dental health is important, it changes as kids grow. My siblings and I fought back about brushing our teeth all the time. I remember when I was a kid my parents were not so lucky. I’m lucky-both of my sons took up the tooth brushing habit very easily. I love taking my sons to the dentist and helping them learn about their dental health.
