Sparkle Plug

Sprinkles of Magic Tooth Fairy Dust

If 5 is the new 10, your kids will be getting their messages off Facebook soon enough.

Milk their fleeting faith in the tooth fairy while you still have the chance with Sprinkles of Magic Tooth Fairy Dust.

The gorgeously hued, glow-in-the-dark glitter (perfect for sprinkling in the wee hours of the morning) leaves a convincing trail straight to the window.

The moon- and heart-shaped sparkles come in a petite bottle shaped like those found in an old-fashioned apothecary. The label offers a message of thanks to the freshly gap-smiled. And it’s all plenty cute enough to leave tucked under their pillows — you know, right next to the cold, hard cash.

As a message to your babes that all that glitters is not gold.
