Have you ever seen a fairy?  It seems they are very good at hiding from us.  Some people believe fairies are tiny little creatures that live in our hearts, our thoughts and maybe even in our flower gardens.   

There are many different kinds of fairies and they come in all different sizes, shapes and colors.  Some fairies live in the forest and only fly about at night.  Other fairies love the warmth of sunny days and the smell of pretty flowers.

Stories are told of fairies that flit and fly around not doing much of anything we can see.  But the Tooth Fairy has a very special job and while we never see her we can always tell when the fairy has done her magic!

When a child starts growing and needs bigger teeth, their baby teeth fall out to make way for the new ones.  Not wanting to waste such a special part of growing up, the Tooth Fairy takes the baby tooth that is no longer needed and flies way up into the night time sky. There she uses her fairy magic to drop the baby tooth into the sky where it becomes a brand new star!

Sometimes the Tooth Fairy likes to leave a little gift for the growing child who has just lost the baby tooth.  It’s always different because it’s whatever the Tooth Fairy has to give away.

Now, when you lose your baby tooth, make sure it’s clean and shiny from brushing every day and wrap it in a tissue.  Place it under your pillow or in a special place where the Tooth Fairy can find it while you sleep.

After your tooth disappears make sure you check the sky at night because you just might see a brand new shiny star that was not there before.   

Remember to brush your teeth every day because clean teeth make the shiniest stars!
