Did you know that the Tooth Fairy isn’t just an American phenomenon? Many cultures around the world have their own unique traditions for disposing of lost baby teeth. From throwing them onto roofs to hiding them in shoes, these customs vary widely but share the common theme of exchanging teeth for gifts or money.
The Tooth Fairy tradition as we know it in the United States originated from European folklore, where children would leave their lost teeth under their pillows for a mouse or fairy to collect in exchange for a reward. However, similar traditions exist in various forms across different cultures and regions, showcasing the universality of childhood rituals.
