What Does Your Tooth Fairy Leave?

Our tooth fairy left a a note (in tiny handwriting, of course)and one gold dollar coin. I got a roll of dollar coins from the bank. It has worked out great.

The tooth fairy hasn't hit our house yet, but I know she won't be leaving $5 bills behind. I'm thinking $2-$3 for the first one and 50 cents to $1 for the rest. I know times have changed, but the tooth fairy used to leave me 25 or 50 cents a tooth and I was perfectly happy.

I agree with you. You could go broke leaving five dollars. My brother left more than that and I nearly died.

Anyway, I've heard of various tooth fairies leaving dollar store prizes, gift bags with cool stickers, pens, pads, small games. I've also heard of the fairy leaving books, coloring books, game books, and so forth.

I think the smartest tooth fairies keep a bag with prizes hidden away in the closet for that surprise tooth pulled at the dinner table.

We leave 2 quarters for a "regular" tooth, and 4 quarters for a front tooth.

Sheesh! $5!?! It's all about the ritual, not the cash.

We leave our kid "pirate money" which is really silver dollars and gold dollars. He gets one of each and something about being able to clink them together makes him ever so happy. And now we will not be ever so broke.

once we left two full size candy bars and my daughter thought that was awesome! minimally two but usually three bucks

$5 for first; $1 for others.

In our house, my kids got $5 for the first then $1 or 2 thereafter (can't remember and my oldest is getting one pulled later today - lol!).

My youngest had to have his first teeth the bottom ones pulled since the big teeth came behind, so he got $10 since he was a real trooper about that.

Nicole,

We have a seven year old daughter. We leave a charm. To add to a charm braclet.

At 7 years of age, he knows what's going on. Should have never started with $5 but change to $1;it'll be o.k.

first tooth was 5.00 and each one after that is 2.00. (Unless we only have a five)

First tooth $5 and subsquent teeth rake in $3 in golden presidential dollar coins.
