HOW TO BUILD A TOOTH FAIRY TRAP


The first thing you need is bait. And by this, I mean a tooth. And you can’t just grab any tooth. We thought about getting a tooth from the skeleton that’s in our science class, but we figured it was better to go with the real thing. In our case, we got George’s tooth. I pulled it out by the classic tie a string to the tooth and then tie the other end of the string to the doorknob and slam the door.

There are other ways to do this, bite into an apple, wiggle it out with your tongue, or get hit in the face by something hard (like tripping on your shoelace and falling on the sidewalk).

Once you’ve got the bait, you tie a string to it, and link it to a net or a large clubbing device. This way, when the Tooth Fairy pulls the tooth out from under the pillow, she’ll either get hit on the head, or trapped underneath a net. Either way, you’ve got her.
