Keepsake Boxes for Kids Losing Teeth

Plan ahead before your kid losing her first tooth. But it is totally ok if it has happened and it caught you off guard. As we all know, kids losing teeth is almost like a rite of passage. Some families love to keep teeth in a special spot. Some like displays and other like to keep them for health purposes (apparently, research shows that stem cells can be procured from baby teeth). Regardless, I think it is cool to find a special spot to keep them. Here are some great keepsake boxes, tooth fairy kits and even memory books.

Pillows for Children Losing Teeth

Alright! The first tooth came out! Most American children have the tradition of putting the baby tooth in a small pillow after losing their first tooth. Some pillows are in the shape of a tooth and others are a stuffed animal with large teeth. Yet other pillows have a Tooth Fairy on them and a little ouch for the tooth to go into before the Tooth Fairy visits.

I Have a Loose Tooth

Children losing teeth is an awesome experience, but what happens that first night is super special. Some families have the tradition of the Tooth Fairy that visits to get the baby tooth and leave a coin or money for them to find the next morning. These pillow ideas are fantastic and so cute! They can use it every time they lose a tooth or keep it around always.

Toys and Games about Teeth

And other families don’t have the tradition of the Tooth Fairy visiting when children are losing teeth, but they still make it a very special time. We are such a family. 😉 Instead, we play games, we learn about teeth and have some tooth fun with games and toys. Here is a great list of those that can be used or gifted when kids are losing their first tooth or any tooth, really. Honestly, my son loves the giant plush tooth and the shark tooth. He winds up the jabber jaws while he brushes his teeth in the morning. Take a look at these ideas. 😉

So why not include one of these as a gift for kids during this special milestone? Here are some ideas for great toothbrushes, brushing charts, timers and so much more. Take a look at these, especially at the kit. It is so comprehensive and so fun!

Books about Losing a Tooth

The “I Have a Loose Tooth! Great ideas for Children Losing Teeth” post wouldn’t be complete if I didn’t include awesome books to read. You can keep them for a long time. Inside the book covers, you could keep track of when your kid is losing his first tooth. My favorite book on the list is the first one because it talks about traditions of children losing teeth in different countries. We read this one often, when we are studying one of the countries mentioned in the book or when one of the kids has a loose tooth.
