Tooth Fairy Costume
Bring childhood magic to life with wings, a crown, and coins.
The Tooth Fairy is a beloved folkloric figure known for exchanging lost baby teeth for coins while children sleep. This whimsical costume is a popular choice for Halloween, dental office events, and school parties because it is highly recognizable and easy to customize. The classic look features a white or pastel dress or tutu, sparkling fairy wings, a tiara, and a signature wand topped with a tooth.
