Tandfe

Traditionen med tandfeer stammer helt tilbage til vikingerne.hvor barnet fik en lille gave når den første tand kom frem. Når barnet tabte sin mælketand, begravede man den i jorden, fordi folk ifølge overtroen frygtede, at en heks kunne kaste en forbandelse over barnet, hvis hun fik fat i den tabte tand. Nu kunne den nye tand vokse frem i sikkerhed. Gennem tiderne har traditionen udviklet sig fra at grave tanden ned til at putte den under puden. I dag lægges tanden i en lille æske, og barnet får en skilling eller to. Tanden kan også lægges i lommen på figuren, og i løbet af natten sætter tandfeen en to krone eller femkrone på stangen.

The Tooth Fairy

The tradition of the tooth fairy can be traced back to the old. Viking customs of giving a present to a child when his or her first tooth could be seen.

When the child lost his or her tooth it was buried in the ground because folk believed that a witch could put a course on the child if she obtained the lost tooth. Now a new tooth could come.

Through the centuries the tradition has changed from burying the tooth to hiding it under the pillow. Nowadays the tooth is placed in a little box and the child is given a coin in return for the tooth that has fallen out.

The idea of our tooth fairy figure is that the tooth can also be placed in the pocket of the figure after which the tooth fairy will come during the night and replace it with a coin.
