10 Delightful Tooth Fairy Letters To Celebrate the Special Event

Losing baby teeth is a big part of growing up. While we all have to go through it, the experience can be a little jarring or emotional for kids. If you haven’t already, come up with a good plan for how to handle those situations. To keep things fun and exciting, one strategy is to give kids Tooth Fairy letters. We’ve put together this list of templates and examples you can use the next time someone loses a tooth at school!

Tooth Fairy Ideas for Teachers

If you teach elementary school, there’s a good chance you’ll deal with a lost tooth at some point. Depending on the circumstances you might need to get creative, so it’s a good idea to be prepared. Of course, educators are great at thinking on their feet and we can learn from the experiences of others.

When one first-grader literally lost his tooth, his principal vouched for him to the Tooth Fairy. After her first-grade student’s tooth was accidentally thrown out, an empathetic teacher wrote a letter of explanation to the Tooth Fairy on his behalf. You’ll find your own methods, but we have some suggestions to help you get started.

Tips for lost teeth at school

So, what do you do when the big moment happens? Here are a few tips for navigating this important milestone in a student’s life.

Stay calm

Sometimes losing a tooth is uneventful, and at other times it comes with chaos. No matter what’s happening in the classroom, if you stay calm you’ll set a good example for everyone.

Have stickers on hand

Commemorate the occasion by giving your students an “I Lost a Tooth!” sticker. Some might even be proud enough to put the sticker on their shirt!

Treasure the tooth

Keep the tooth safe by putting it in an adorable Tooth Fairy Box shaped like a treasure chest!

Keep it sanitary

For so many reasons, it’s important to focus on good hygiene when a child loses a tooth. If there was blood involved, have them rinse their mouth and use a disinfectant on any impacted surfaces. Anyone who handled the lost tooth should clean their hands, and discourage the child from reaching into their mouth with dirty hands to avoid infections.

Write a letter

It only takes a few minutes to write a Tooth Fairy letter, but it can mean so much to kids. We’ve put together a list of templates and examples to help you save time.
