El significat de la fada de les dents i el ratolí Pérez per als nens

Where does the story of Mr Perez come from?

Long ago, in a warm and peaceful home, people began to notice that something special happened when children lost their teeth. A tiny mouse, known as Mr Perez, would quietly arrive during the night. No one ever heard him, but by morning, the tooth was gone.

But there was always one small mystery… how did he get inside?

That is why, over time, children began leaving a tiny entrance just for him. A small Mr Perez magic door, placed gently against the wall, gives him a secret way in. Each night, he opens it softly, steps into the room, and begins his careful search. He needed a place to rest and prepare for his visits, so children also created little corners just for him. A soft Mr Perez plush toy or even a tiny plush house for Mr Perez gives him somewhere to stay. From there, he plans his nightly journeys, always careful, always gentle, never disturbing the calm of the room.

Is the little mouse the same as the tooth fairy?

Some children know a small mouse, others imagine a light and quiet tooth fairy, but both follow the same path. They visit at night, they move softly, and they take care of every little tooth left under the pillow. In some rooms, their stories come together. A soft glow from a toy projector with the tooth fairy story, available in the Zara Home collection, can gently fill the walls, while the little mouse waits nearby, ready for his turn. Close to the pillow, a mini magic pillow from Zara Home becomes the perfect place to keep the tooth safe. This way, children can imagine both worlds at once, where the mouse and the fairy share the same quiet mission.

How does the little mouse tradition work?

When night arrives, everything begins. The child places the tooth carefully under a small cushion, often a mini magic pillow made just for this moment. Then, as the room becomes still, the little mouse finds his way in. Some say he enters through a tiny Mr Perez magic door, built just for him, so he never gets lost. He walks softly across the room, past pyjamas folded nearby, slippers resting on the floor, and a neatly made bedding set. He takes the tooth, leaves a small surprise, and disappears before morning, leaving everything just as calm as he found it. In the Zara Home collection, there is also a special Mr Perez passport book and a small stamp to keep each visit recorded. After every night, children can write down when the tooth fell out, how it happened, and what Mr Perez left behind. With each page, the story grows, turning every visit into a memory that can be kept and revisited over time.

Why do children leave their teeth under the pillow?

The pillow is where dreams begin, so it is also where Mr Perez knows to look. It is soft, easy to reach, and always in the same place. This makes his visit simple and quiet, just the way he likes it. On the day a tooth falls out, everything feels a little different. It becomes a special evening. Children begin by taking a bath using their Mr Perez towels, getting ready slowly for the night ahead. Then they put on their Zara Home pyjamas, soft and comfortable, perfect for such an important moment. When it is time to sleep, the tooth is placed carefully under the pillow, or sometimes inside a small box next to the magic door, so the little mouse can find it easily.

During the night, he arrives, just as always. By morning, something new may be waiting. A small gift, wrapped in beautiful paper, sits nearby. The day begins happily, often with breakfast served on a special Mr Perez or tooth fairy tableware set, with a plate, a cup and small cutlery. And, of course, everything is chosen with care, because on a day like this, it is best to enjoy something soft and gentle.
