At my four year old’s last dentist appointment they were telling him not to be surprised if he loses a tooth before he goes back in December for his next cleaning. While they always do such a wonderful job at explaining it to the kids, it’s still a little scary for them.
I still remember when our eight year old lost his first tooth and he cried that night not wanting to Tooth Fairy to steal his teeth. He just didn’t understand why she just couldn’t leave a prize and his tooth. The thoughts that she had a collection of teeth stashed away some place was just more than he could process. Fast forward three years and now he’s all about losing those teeth. Now he sees it as an easy way to make money, but sadly for him, he only has a couple more left to lose.
It seems surreal to think that my four year old…my baby..is going to start getting visits from the Tooth Fairy soon. To help ease his concerns, we recently had the opportunity to preview an awesome set called Tug and the Tooth.
About Tug and the Tooth:
Losing a first tooth is one of the most significant milestones in a young child’s life. “Tug and the Tooth” is a new Tooth Fairy tradition that supports and celebrates children as they go through this timeless experience.
Tug, a lovable tooth pillow, is a special friend of the Tooth Fairy. He carries a backpack in which to place a tooth on the night a child waits for the Tooth Fairy to arrive. He will keep the tooth safe and exchange it with the Tooth Fairy for something special. Tug is noble and trustworthy. His job is to support a child when he or she has a loose tooth.
“Tug and the Tooth” is a colorful story about a little girl named Liza who discovers she has a loose tooth. She is introduced to Tug who is a friend and guide. Together they embark on a great adventure to the land of Tirol, where she learns to handle fear and excitement as she goes through the experience of losing her first tooth.
What We Thought:
This is a beautifully illustrated story to help little ones get excited about losing a tooth. So many of them worry about the tooth fairy taking their teeth as I mentioned above. We have read through this book several times and it has really helped to put my little guys fears to ease when it comes to losing that first tooth.
Tug and the Tooth can be purchased for $29.95 which includes the book and Tug.
