Twinkle Tooth is the smallest of the Tooth Pillow family. Twinkling felt bodies, available with light pink and blue back pockets, are designed to match their sparkling personalities.

It is said that on a clear night you may look up at the skies above and see where some of these pearly whites end up.  "Gappy Grin Gift tooth pillows are cheering children up and turning their little frowns upside down every day.
