**Materials Needed**
- Yarn: To create this adorable little pillow, you can use acrylic yarn, which is widely available and comes in various colors. You may want to choose white yarn for a traditional tooth appearance. A bulkier yarn will make a giant pillow, and you can experiment with different sizes based on your preference.

Crochet Hook: Start with a 4mm crochet hook for the pillow’s body. To make a more oversized pillow, consider using a larger crochet hook size to accommodate the bulkier yarn.

- Safety Eyes: For the adorable face of the tooth pillow, consider using safety doll eyes. Safety eyes add a cute and lifelike touch to your creation.

Slip Stitch (sl st): Use the slip stitch to join rounds or close off stitches. This is especially useful for connecting the pillow’s top piece and back panel.

Tapestry Needle: A tapestry needle is handy for weaving in yarn tails and adding safety eyes.

Single Crochet (sc): Work a round of single crochet to create the back pocket of the tooth pillow. This is where young children can place their lost teeth for the tooth fairy.
