Silver
The night cousin. Soft-spoken and observant, she handles first teeth and folds the blanket corner back when she leaves.
Our Story
She turns the tooth gold and leaves it with you.
The Gold Tooth Fairy turns your child's baby tooth gold and leaves it with you instead of taking it away. Her cousins Silver and Copper help with first teeth and odd teeth. The kit is how a parent joins in.
Why she turns teeth gold
A baby tooth is the first thing your child gives back. It has chewed through years of meals and wobbled through years of laughs, and then one day it is out, and it ends up in a sandwich bag. We think that tooth deserves a better ending. So the Gold Tooth Fairy turns it gold, and the tooth goes into a vial with a date on it.
Who is she
She is smaller than a teacup and keeps a long list. She likes dates, labels, and tidy handwriting. She cannot hold a tooth by herself, so she asks a grown-up to hold the tweezers. She leaves a trail of gold dust on the windowsill so your kid knows she came.
Her cousins
Silver and Copper.
Copper
The youngest. Freckled and a little late, she collects the teeth with stories: the apple, the beach, the trampoline.
In the Gift Set, each cousin comes with her own metallic marker. See the Gift Set.
Why we made the kit
A lot of first teeth end up in a sandwich bag, a kitchen drawer, or the wash. Hardly anyone sets out to lose one.
We wanted one small kit that a parent can pull out at 9:40 p.m., with everything inside: a marker, tweezers, a vial, a sticker sheet, a booklet, and a pinch of gold dust. It does not have to be fancy. It has to be there on the night.
How we think about keepsakes
- A keepsake should be something a kid can look at later and say, "That was mine."
- It should cost less than a trip to the mall and sit on a shelf without needing a frame.
- It should leave room for the parent to write the date.
The Gold Tooth Fairy and her cousins are illustrations. Photos of the real kit are coming. Until then, any image of the kit is labeled as an illustration.
