Tooth Fairy Pillow Ideas

The tooth fairy pillow can come in many forms. The goal of the pillow is to make the tooth fairy’s job easier by not sticking a lone tooth under the child’s pillow. With a tooth fairy pillow or container, the tooth has a specific place to be and is placed on top of a pillow or on a night stand.
