Hey Everyone! Isn't it great to have Susan back?? She hasn't said much about it but she had been quite ill this summer. I for one am grateful that she is well now and is back good as new.

Subject: Re: (Tooth Fairy) Pillows!
One year I had my first graders create "Tooth Fairy Pillows". We used two squares of felt (about 6"x 6"). The kids did an over stitch around the edges with large needles and thin yarn.. Each child designed their own tooth fairy for the front from felt, fabric scraps, yarn, etc. They glued it down with fabric glue (Aileen's). After, they drew a wand with thin permanent marker in the fairy's hand. Then we added gold or silver lines around the top of the wand for sparkle. (You could probably use thin lines of Elmers and glitter.) Another small square pocket of felt was added on the back in which to hold the tooth- glued around three sides with an opening on the top. The last step was stuffing with fiberfill. The kids were very excited about this project and really used them!
