Somewhere between snack breaks and suitcase zippers, it happens: a wiggly tooth finally pops free. And just like that, the Tooth Fairy is officially... on vacation too.
But don’t worry. With a little prep and a sprinkle of imagination, you can keep the magic intact wherever your adventures take you.
The Tooth Fairy Packs Light (and Smart)
When you're traveling with kids, every inch of suitcase space matters. That's why having a few compact, Tooth Fairy-approved tricks on hand can make all the difference.
Hotel Room Tooth Fairy Visit
The challenge: New surroundings, new bedtime routines, and no idea where to hide the tooth.
The fix: Pack a travel-friendly tooth pillow. These compact pillows have a dedicated pocket for the tooth and tuck easily into a suitcase. Place it beside the hotel pillow — no sneaking under heads required.
Pro tip: Use the hotel notepad to write a quick note from the Tooth Fairy. Hotel stationery makes it feel extra official!
Camping (Yes, the Tooth Fairy Can Hike!)
The challenge: No beds, no pillows, no guarantee the tooth won’t get lost in the woods.
The fix: This is where the Substi-tooth tag shines. If the tooth gets misplaced, just flip the tag and tuck it in your travel pillow or sleeping bag. The Tooth Fairy is magical, not picky.
Bonus idea: Our Tooth Brigade books are great campfire reads. They’re full of brave, adventurous fairies — the kind who’d definitely find a kid in a tent.
Airplane Adventures
The challenge: Altitude + excitement = the tooth gets dropped somewhere between snacks and seatbelts.
The fix: Have your child place the tooth in the pillow pocket before boarding. If it gets lost in transit, the Substi-tooth tag works just as well at 30,000 feet. And yes, the Tooth Fairy flies.
Helpful hint: Reading one of The Tooth Brigade books mid-flight can help kids feel more at home and less anxious about losing a tooth far from their bedroom.
Lost Tooth, No Tooth in Sight
If the tooth disappears altogether (it happens!), that’s what the Substi-tooth tag is for. It’s tucked inside every pillow and gives the Tooth Fairy magical proof that the tooth was real — even if it’s gone. No tears, no stress, no problem.
Keep the Tradition, Wherever You Are
Losing a tooth while traveling can feel like a big deal to a little kid. But with a bit of planning and the right tools, it can become a magical travel memory — not a stressful one.
Whether you’re camping in the woods, checking into a hotel, or soaring through the skies, the Tooth Fairy is always just one pocket away.
And who knows? With the right story and a sprinkle of fairy dust, your child might start to see every trip — and every lost tooth — as the beginning of a brand-new adventure.
