These magical glittery DIY Christmas Elf Coins or Tooth Fairy coins are so so easy to make yourself as a surprise for your little ones, OR you could make them together as a craft activity. The photos don’t do them justice, but they’re super twinkly in the sunlight.
Your Fairy or Tooth Fairy can leave one or two of these behind when they deliver their letter … they must be real because you don’t normally see things like this do you?? Your child can either use them as you would use ‘real money’, or keep them as a special keepsake from the Tooth Fairy.
You could also pop your Christmas Elf coins or Tooth Fairy Coins into one of our hand-stamped Linen Bags and use them as a magical Christmas Stocking Filler. Children will assume it’s special ‘Elf’ money from the North Pole! Either way, there’s lots of magical fun to be had! You can use ordinary coins, or left over coins from holidays abroad. The more ‘different’ the coin is, the better.
Some children manage to use their Elf coins to buy real things in the local shops, while others enjoy playing with them at home.
What You Need:
- Cardboard Box (to attempt to contain the carnage)
- Glitter
- Acrylic Spray

What You Do:
- Lay the coins out flat in the bottom of the cardboard box
