Tooth Fairy Bag Magic: Personalised Bags for Kids’ First Teeth (by Spotted Lizard Prints)

There are few childhood milestones as universally thrilling as the first wobbly tooth. From the proud grin to the midnight anticipation, losing a tooth is a rite of passage kids remember for years. And while the Tooth Fairy’s visit has always had a glittery charm, there’s an easy way to make the tradition more memorable (and far less chaotic than scrabbling under pillows at 11pm): a personalised Tooth Fairy bag.

At Spotted Lizard Prints, our personalised drawstring Tooth Fairy bags (10 × 15 cm) are designed to add storybook magic to the moment, while keeping that tiny treasure safe and easy to find. They’re sweet, sturdy, reusable, and hand-printed to order with your child’s name—so every visit from the Tooth Fairy feels personal and perfectly planned.

Below you’ll find your complete guide: what makes our bags special, where the tradition comes from, fun global variations, how to use and care for your bag, creative ideas for “Tooth Fairy scripts,” and thoughtful extras to turn a loose tooth into a little family ritual your child will cherish.

Why a Tooth Fairy Bag?

If you’ve ever tried to retrieve a tooth from beneath a fast-asleep child, you know the Under-Pillow Shuffle is not for the faint-hearted. A dedicated bag makes the whole experience simple, secure, and magical.

Practical perks you’ll love

  • No more lost teeth: The tooth has a safe, designated spot—no wandering under pillows or rolling off the bed.
  • Easy exchanges: The Tooth Fairy swaps tooth for token right in the bag (or swaps the bag for a coin and a note).
  • Reusable & eco-conscious: Our bags are designed for multiple visits—no single-use envelopes or plastic tins required.
  • Photo-worthy: Personalised with your child’s name, the bag becomes a keepsake worthy of baby books and memory boxes.

Magic your child will adore

  • Their name on the bag: That “this is for me” moment is pure sparkle.
  • A ritual they can follow: Put the tooth in the bag, draw the strings, hang it on the bedpost or doorknob, and wait for the Fairy.
  • Room for little notes: Tiny letters from the Tooth Fairy transform the exchange into a conversation kids remember.

What Makes Spotted Lizard Prints Tooth Fairy Bags Special?

We’ve designed our bags to balance charm, durability, and ease—with details that make parents’ lives simpler and children’s eyes brighter.

  • Personalised just for them
    Use the personalisation box on the product page to enter your child’s name exactly as you want it printed. We reproduce it precisely—so please double-check spelling and capitalisation before checkout.
  • Perfect mini size
    At 10 cm × 15 cm, the bag is just right for a tooth, a small coin, and a folded note. It’s big enough for little hands to manage, small enough to feel secret and special.
  • Drawstring design
    Easy to open and close, secure for the “tooth-to-treasure” swap, and perfect for hanging on a bedpost, door handle, or bedside hook. No midnight pillow fishing required.
  • Hand-printed to order
    Every bag is individually printed with care in our UK studio. Real people check the print quality so your keepsake arrives looking crisp and bright.
  • Reusable & practical
    Designed for multiple Tooth Fairy visits—and multipurpose beyond that (think baby keepsakes, tiny treasures, or small travel bits once the tooth phase passes).

  • A Bit of Fairy Folklore (Because Stories Make Memories)
  • European Roots
    Long before glitter trails and pillow swaps, many European families practised protective rituals with baby teeth. In medieval Europe, parents often buried children’s teeth to guard against bad luck or misfortune—a tangible “closing” of one stage and blessing for the next.
  • American Evolution
    The modern Tooth Fairy—tiny, kind, and fond of coins—picked up steam in the early 20th century. By the 1920s, stories, columns, and even a children’s play helped cement the idea of a fairy who trades a shed tooth for a small gift. From there, she fluttered into popular culture and never left.
  • Global Variations we love
  • Spain & Latin America: Children leave teeth for Ratoncito Pérez (a sweet little mouse).
  • France: La Petite Souris (a “little mouse”) handles the exchange.
  • Japan & Korea: Kids throw teeth—lower teeth up to the roof and upper teeth down under the house—to encourage the next teeth to grow straight and strong.
  • Nordic Regions: Some families put teeth into special boxes—not so different from today’s bags.
  • Sharing these stories with your child transforms “just a tooth” into a connection to kids around the world—all celebrating growing up in their own way.
  • What Goes Inside the Tooth Fairy Bag?
  • Keep it simple, special, and safe:
  • The tooth (clean and thoroughly dry)
  • A tiny note from the Tooth Fairy (see our script ideas below)
  • A token (coin, folded note, or small keepsake like a sticker or pressed flower)
  • Optional: “Tooth Receipt”—a mini certificate confirming collection (kids love official paperwork)
  • Tip: If you include coins, tuck them inside a small folded paper sleeve so they don’t fall out when curious hands tug the strings.
  • How to Use Your Bag (A Stress-Free “Fairy Plan”)
  1. Celebrate the milestone
    Rinse the tooth and let it dry completely. Take a quick photo of the new gappy grin (future-you will love it).
  2. Personalise the bag moment
    Have your child place the tooth inside and draw the strings. They can whisper a wish or tell the Fairy about their day.
  3. Choose a safe spot
    Hang the bag on the bedpost or door handle. Fairy access is easier; nobody gets woken up.
  4. Make the swap
    After bedtime, the Tooth Fairy visits: tooth out, token and note in. Draw the string tight again and leave a faint “fairy trail” if you like (a tiny sprinkle of biodegradable glitter outside the door or a small star sticker on the door frame).
  5. Morning magic
    Cue squeals. Read the Fairy’s note together. Add the empty tooth envelope (if you use one), the note, or a “Tooth Receipt” to a memory box.

  • How Much Should the Tooth Fairy Leave?
  • Traditions vary by family and country, and there’s no single “right” amount. Some families give a coin for every tooth; others make the first tooth a little more special with a small note or sticker. What matters most is consistency with your own tradition—not the amount itself.
  • Non-cash ideas kids love
  • A glittery “Fairy Dollar” (a painted coin or gold-foil chocolate coin)
  • A tiny sticker or stamp
  • A bookmark for bedtime stories
  • A pressed flower “from the fairy garden”
  • A miniature certificate or “badge of bravery”
  • Care & Safety Tips (Because You’re the Grown-Up)
  • Keep it dry: Ensure the tooth is completely dry before it goes in the bag to protect the fabric and the tooth.
  • Gentle clean only: If needed, lightly spot-clean the bag and let it air-dry thoroughly. Avoid soaking.
  • Small parts caution: Coins and tiny trinkets should be used under your supervision—especially for children under 3.
  • Storage: Between visits, store the bag in a bedside drawer or memory box so it stays special and doesn’t go walkabout.
  • Make It a Mini-Ritual (5-Minute Ideas That Feel Big)
  • “Tooth Report”: Your child tells the Fairy one thing they did bravely this week.
  • Star Chart: Each tooth earns a star; five stars = choose a bedtime story or family movie.
  • Fairy Door: Place a tiny “door” or sticker on the skirting board to “show where the Fairy comes in”—pure delight for younger kids.
  • Photo Tradition: Snap a quick photo of the gap with the bag each time. Collage later!
  • Memory Box: Keep Fairy notes, receipts, and milestone photos together. One day you’ll both rediscover them with happy tears.
  • Why Personalised Keepsakes Matter
  • Personalised gifts speak directly to a child’s sense of identity and belonging—especially for kids with unique names who rarely find themselves on mass-made keyrings or pens. A Tooth Fairy bag with their name says: “This tradition is yours.” It turns a common childhood event into a personal story.
  • And when the last baby tooth is gone, the bag becomes a keepsake—a reminder of giggles, wobbles, and tiny gaps in grins.
