Toddler Crafts First Tooth Fairy Adventure!


 

We recently had the big event of my son losing his first tooth!  He was so excited and thrilled when it started to wiggle.  Everyday he pushed at it to see if it was looser.  Then finally while eating breakfast, he pushed it with his tongue and out it popped!  He screamed in an excited voice “MOM my tooth came out!” and there it was on the floor.  A second later he asked nervously “is it bleeding?!!”  He was so excited, but the idea of it bleeding freaked him out!  It wasn’t so he was excited to go look at the gap in his teeth!  He ran right to the mirror.  He looks so cute without the tooth!  

He then wanted to call our entire family and tell them the news himself.  He was thrilled!  It was the cutest thing.  He had his tooth under the pillow at 5 pm waiting anxiously for the Tooth Fairy to arrive!  He kept asking if it was time to go to bed!  I don’t think he has EVER asked to go to bed.  When he went to bed it occurred to me that I needed to do something fun for this first tooth fairy visit!!  So I (with the help of my sister!) made a note and this fun envelope to put his tooth fairy money in!

Supplies:

  • Construction Paper
  • Glue
  • Glitter
  • Scissors
  • Tape
  • Crayons or Markers
Steps:
  1. Cut the construction paper into a square
  2. Fold Corners in
  3. Tape bottom and two sides together
  4. Glue a strip of construction paper over tape to hide seam
  5. Decorate Envelope with glue and glitter to make it festive
  6. Take another piece of construction paper and write your tooth fairy note
  7. Fold it and seal with a drawn tooth
  8. Put in envelope and tape shut
Enjoy watching your child’s excitement at this big moment!

If at FIRST you Don’t SUCCEED, TRY TRY AGAIN!

This is pretty much my mantra on life and to my kids!!  I firmly believe that if you put your mind to it you can accomplish your goals.  You need to work hard, plan for it, but you will get there!!  I think it is so important to encourage children to give it their all and not to get discouraged if they are not successful at first.  Things that are hard to achieve are usually worth the effort and practice. It is worth waiting for your success.   You will feel so much more accomplished when you succeed and had to really work at it.

What is your favorite quote?  Your mantra?

Today I am participating in the McKlinky Blog Hop.   Every week there is a different theme to post about.  All the posts are kept in the McKlinky and you can then  from blog to blog and check out other posts in the blog hop.  It seemed pretty cool, so I decided to give it a try!
