Question

So does the tooth fairy leave a note for the first tooth or just money? I think we’re doing $10 for the first tooth, but after that we’ll scale back. My son lost his first tooth tonight and he’s 5 1/2. So exciting and emotional!  

Answer 1

Tooth fairy does whatever you want. Keep it simple. You’ll thank yourself later

Answer 2

You do you!  

Answer 3

We left a note the first time and came up with a silly name for our tooth fairy’s name.  

Answer 4

I had to leave a note apologizing to my son (he’s now 18) because the tooth fairy kept forgetting! She finally left a note on Monday saying she didn’t work weekends  I only do 4 quarters ‍♀️ they like coins! I’ve now got two littles again so we will see how long the tooth fairy makes it this time!  

Answer 5

We did $5, a note and a new toothbrush

Answer 6

$10?! That’s an expensive tooth fairy ‍♀️

Answer 7

We’re debating between $5 and $10. We only have 1 kid to worry about.  

Answer 8

We leave a golden dollar. Same thing the first time.  

Answer 9

We did $5 and a note

Answer 10

Yeah if you want to. But then you will probably need to write a note each time.  

Answer 11

If you have a printer at home you can find a certificate! Let me see if I can find the one I did.  

Answer 12

We did this for just his 1st tooth. He was so excited. Definitely an emotional moment. Mine lost his at the Valentine’s Day party at school. He came to the car at pickup and I almost burst in to tears! ‍♀️

Answer 13

I made the mistake of writing fancy so my daughter didn’t recognize my handwriting ‍♀️ had to do that every time she write to the tooth fairy

@machicolate I'm with you! My kids write noyes to the tooth fairy that go with their tooth. Then i have to write back. In my defense, my daughter started it by writing to the stinking fairy ‍♀️ in the first place!

@almost0 my daughter did the same. She wanted to ask for more money because she was saving up for a toy she wanted  

Answer 14

Whatever you do, make sure you're able to replicate anytime, anywhere. My kids ALWAYS lose them when we are camping or out of town.  

Answer 15

I give a $2. 00 bill or dollar coin and draw a picture on a sticky note that looks a little like this (the happy one).  

Answer 16

Our son lost his first one at school and couldn't find it to bring home. He was distraught, so the tooth fairy left him a nice note and $5 that said she heard he lost if not to worry, but next time to please try to leave her one.
