Welcome to was hcloth crafts!
Many
stories and myths exist about the Tooth Fairy, whether she looks likes a
fairy godmother or he looks like The Rock (Dwayne Johnson) in the first tooth fairy movie, or now, The Cable Guy (Daniel Lawrence Whitney) in Tooth Fairy 2.
There
seems to be no set image of the Tooth Fairy, which is why The Rock
could play the role and wear a pink tutu for the movie. He had a great
tailor because he actually looked great in the tutu!
Whatever
the Tooth Fairy really looks like, he or she has soothed the fears of
many children through out the ages. A child’s worry over loosing a tooth
vanishes just at the thought of this magical creature who brings a cash
gift or reward.
In
some cultures, a mouse exchanges a tooth for coins and in others the
child’s guardian angel, a young dog, swallows the tooth to ensure that
the new tooth will grown in straight. The Vikings had a different take
on baby teeth. They believed their children’s teeth were magical and
would wear them as necklaces into battle as a talisman.
According
to the Multiculturalpedia online, the Japanese tradition is to throw a
lower baby tooth on top of the roof, so the new tooth will grow straight
up, and to throw an upper baby tooth under the house, so the new upper
tooth will grow straight down!
Since there is no set image and no set tradition world-wide, except for placing the tooth under the pillow for retrieval, the washcloth versions of the Tooth Fairy (above) will help the tooth fairy find the baby tooth easily when he or she visits. Wrap the tooth in a tissue or make a little bag for it, and tuck it into the fairy’s tummy. Place the washcloth fairy under the pillow or next to the pillow for easy retrieval.
The
instructions for both varieties of Tooth Fairy are available at the
TerryGami Etsy shop, and they also come with Tooth Fairy Certificates.
If you can’t decide on which fairy to make, let your child decide.
By the way, the glittered foam board decorations and ribbon can be in any color, not just silver, so try pink or blue!
Happy Crafting!
