Tooth Fairy

cheekymole

Many thanks to everyone. She ended up with a very shiny £2 coin and was thrilled. The next one will be £1 though

my daughter didnt lose her first tooth till she was nearly 8 and then she lost quite a few in succession, she saved them up and got herself something she wanted. she got £2 for her first tooth £1 each from me and her dad (we divorced and i thought he might like to be involved) since then its £1 per tooth and she puts it in a little black pouch which we put the £1 in when i take the tooth.. sometimes the little madam puts it somewere else lol and i have to hunt it down hee hee .. Ive kept all her baby teeth in a little box..

Dohhh

Wish I had seen a thread like this only a week ago..

My daughter lost her first tooth... I was excited for her.. anyway she put it in an envelope and painted a picture for the tooth fairy..

We gave her £1.80, one of her favorite buscuits and we wrote her a note from the tooth fairy thanking her for her tooth that will go to very good use in fairy land. And put sequins on her bed so when she woke up she thought it was fairy dust...

She was chuffed.. and now it is not a drama getting her to brush her teeth cause she wants to keep them nice and clean for the fairies...

But going by your posts looks like we went OTT with the money..

I cant beleive she is loosing her teeth already.. she wasnt meant to grow up and I am not supposed to be feeling broody again either...:wall:

i dont think you can ever go ott when its your childs first experience of something .. its nice that some parents make the effort so that in the future they have happy memories .. my 10 yr old talks abt some of the things that have happened at christmas time things that we have done to make her day special.. like walking from the fireplace up to her bedroom and putting talc round my feet so she thinks its snow.. so no matter what you do its the look on the kids faces that make it all worth while.. and broody arghhh no not me never ever again lol

One of my son's friends cheerfully showed me a tooth he'd lost at school, and then told me he was going to put it in water under his pillow, he was just trying to work out how, so that the toothfairy would drown getting it! :eek:

I can't remember what explanation I gave for why this wouldn't work, but I made sure his mum heard it so that she didn't end up with a wet pillow!

I owned up this year to my 10 year old DD that I was the toothfairy. She had been trying me out for a year leaving notes for the fairy. I used to answer them with glitterly nail polish footsteps on the note;)

Last year I owned up there was no Easter bunny. She wants to know now if I'm lying about anything else:shhh:

Agree £1 till they get a bit older and loosing teeth is rarer. Then we gave £2.

I used to have sixpence!

the tooth fairy leaves 50p in our house, although my 10 yr old is getting wise. Of course that doesnt stop her wanting the tooth fairy to come - but could she give a bit more?!!

£1 is the usual where I live. I think that's fair enough because you can't buy much with a £1 and they deserve a treat when they lose a tooth. It's a part of childhood and they don't stay small for long.

We'd carefully instilled in our eldest the idea that if his tooth came out he'd get 50p and a note from the toothfairy, which he was quite happy about - only to be sabotaged by auntie, who told him the going rate is now £2 for first tooth... grrr. So just make sure the rest of the family is aware of what you decide on the toothfairy, just so your offspring don't get confused!
