Losing a tooth is one of those small but unforgettable milestones in childhood.
At our house, the Tooth Fairy’s visits have always been full of imagination, from tiny letters tucked under pillows to colorful activities that ease any nervousness.
These Tooth Fairy activities turn a wobbly-tooth moment into something fun, creative, and even a little educational.
Whether you’re marking your child’s very first lost tooth or keeping the magic alive for a younger sibling, this list brings together printables, crafts, and stories that help kids understand dental care while celebrating one of childhood’s sweetest traditions.
Activities to Celebrate Kids Losing Their First Teeth
Every family has their own way of making the Tooth Fairy feel real, and these activities add that extra sparkle.
Some focus on creativity and pretend play, others sneak in lessons about dental hygiene or responsibility.
Together, they make losing a tooth feel like a celebration rather than a worry, something special to remember for years.
Tooth Fairy Activity Pack
This 34-page pack is like a treasure chest for the Tooth Fairy. It includes printable games, activity sheets, and letters that make the whole experience interactive and meaningful. When my son first lost his tooth, I loved how these pages turned excitement into learning, brushing charts, mazes, and word searches about dental care. It’s perfect for keeping kids curious about how teeth grow, fall out, and come back again. A gentle mix of magic and education that helps them see dental health as something fun to explore, not something to fear.
These coloring pages are a quiet way to celebrate a big day. I often keep one ready for bedtime, when kids are buzzing with anticipation. The illustrations, castles, toothbrushes, smiling fairies, invite creativity while calming nerves before the Tooth Fairy’s visit. Coloring together is also a lovely moment to talk about what’s happening and why teeth fall out. It turns waiting into connection time, especially when younger siblings join in. Simple, sweet, and beautifully themed around that first lost tooth.
This printable became an instant hit at our house. It’s the kind of quick, no-prep game that keeps little hands busy while waiting for bedtime magic. Kids hunt for tiny toothbrushes, fairies, stars, and coins, counting as they go. It’s surprisingly good for building focus and number recognition too. I love that it mixes fun with a touch of learning, perfect for a classroom, waiting room, or cozy evening at home. For something so small, it adds a lot of excitement to the Tooth Fairy tradition.
8 Free Tooth Fairy Letter Printables & Certificates
When my son got his first letter from the Tooth Fairy, he was amazed that she knew his name! These printable letters and certificates make that kind of magic easy to create. Some are formal and sparkly, others are funny or encouraging, great for first teeth or reminders to brush. I like printing them on pastel paper for a whimsical touch. It’s such a simple way to make the Tooth Fairy feel real and personal, giving kids a keepsake they’ll treasure long after that tooth is gone.
Losing a tooth often happens at night, and these printable envelopes make it easy to keep everything neat, tooth in, coin out. I like helping kids fold and decorate their envelope before bed, adding their name or a tiny drawing. It’s a charming ritual that gives them ownership of the moment. The designs are sweet and practical, ensuring that even the tiniest tooth doesn’t get lost under a pillow. Small details like this make the Tooth Fairy visit feel extra special.
I love these because they sneak in learning without kids realizing it. The color-by-number pages focus on dental themes — toothbrushes, smiling teeth, happy dentists, and help reinforce number recognition and color matching. We’ve used them during Dental Health Month too, but they’re perfect any time a tooth wiggles loose. It’s a relaxing way to wind down and talk about why brushing and flossing matter. Fun, simple, and genuinely educational, the best kind of printable.
This craft turns a loose tooth into a creative project. Using simple supplies like paper, glitter, and glue, kids can design their own Tooth Fairy figure or door hanger. I love that it gives children a chance to express their excitement through art. The process is quick, mess-free, and adds a personal touch to bedtime. Displaying their creation beside the pillow makes the experience even more memorable, proof that the Tooth Fairy visits homes that sparkle with imagination.
Reading Bear’s Loose Tooth with these companion activities is one of my favorite ways to prepare preschoolers for their first wobbly tooth. The printables bring the story to life through matching, sequencing, and discussion prompts. It helps kids understand what’s happening in their own mouths in a way that feels gentle and familiar. When my son was little, this story calmed a lot of his nerves and made him giggle too, a perfect mix of reassurance and fun.
While not a “tooth fairy” craft exactly, this fall fairy version fits beautifully into the theme. My son and I made it one afternoon just for fun, and it became part of our seasonal fairy decorations. The project uses simple materials and can be adapted with glitter wings or a tooth pouch for fairy play. It’s creative, calming, and a reminder that the world of fairies can extend far beyond one bedtime, inspiring imagination year-round.
This printable kit feels like the ultimate companion to a lost-tooth day. It includes signs, notes, and certificates that make the Tooth Fairy visit feel organized and exciting. I like how it combines practicality with fun, everything from “Tooth Report” slips to mini fairy door hangers. The variety means you can use different pieces for each lost tooth, keeping the tradition fresh and magical. Perfect for parents who want a ready-made way to bring the sparkle back every single time.
