Wherever you are in the world, losing a tooth is a big deal—and a fun way to learn about global traditions!
*In Mexico, children tuck their tooth under their pillow and wait for El Ratón de los Dientes—a tooth-collecting mouse who leaves behind a small gift.
*In France, another tooth-loving mouse, La Petite Souris, scurries in at night to swap teeth for treats.
*In Japan, kids throw their bottom teeth up onto the roof and top teeth down into the ground, hoping for strong adult teeth to grow in straight!
*In South Africa, children leave their lost tooth in a slipper instead of under a pillow—and the Tooth Mouse comes during the night.
*In Turkey, it's believed that where you bury the tooth can influence a child's future—some parents bury it near a hospital or university!
Share your Family Tradition!
