toothfairy

My 8 year old daughter lost a tooth and this is what she did, all on her own!

She made a toothfairy castle. Inside it, on a cushion, she put her tooth and a little present for the toothfairy.



Next to the castle she put a torch and a note with instructions for the toothfairy.



The present was a parcel with a tiny wand (made using a toothpick) for the toothfairy  :D.

Oh how very special, keep it very safe. I also like the £5 bit, I thought the going rate currently was just £1 ,clever girl that XX Jeannine

Aww! Hope she won't be too disappointed if she only gets 50p!

Love it Dandelion. My girls are just the same and the Tooth Fairy always writes back. she's a bit tight though. She only leaves a pound!  ;D ;D

[manicscousers]

aren't they lovely at that age, all innocent..she's very thoughtful ..and talented
but boy, it's gone up since mine were little.. ;D

[dandelion]

Because she'd made such a big effort, se got the £5: half of it cash and half of it deposited directly into her bank account by the toothfairy.  Next tooth we'll be back to the going rate of £1 ;D!

Whatever happened to the silver sixpence  :o

Oooooh i go a long way back I do  ;)

Dandelion all i cay say is that Alan Sugar, would be so proud of your daughters business instincts, and rightly so  ;)

[Tin Shed]

Blimey, that's inflation - my lot got 20p per tooth and 1 whopping 40p for a molar. Told them that we had a very small tooth fairy who couldn't carry very much.
On the other hand , your daughter has a great future ahead of her and a great business head on young shoulders!

Wonderful Dandelion, I love things like that.

I always used to forget and felt so guilty in the morning so developed the habit of turning my nightdress inside out so that I would remember at bedtime what I needed to do! ;)

This was the 3rd teeth. When she lost the 2nd one I forgot to do my tooth fairy duty. Big drama in the morning as you can imagine. But I quickly came up with an excuse. The weather had been exceptionally hot and there had been colonies of flying ants everwhere. So I told my daughter that the ants had got stuck in the tooth fairy's wings so she had to go home and wash them. She'd be back the following night.

While she was at school, I went into my daughter's room and picked up the tooth to inspect it, but I accidently dropped it and couldn't find it anywhere  :-[.  Luckily I'd kept tooth number 1 so I left that in its place. Guess what, as soon as my daughter saw the tooth she said it looked different!!!! I managed to persuade her that it was the same teeth, all the while worrying that she would find the other one. How would I explain 2 teeth?????? Anyway, the tooth fairy did come that night.

Now my daughter knows the truth about the tooth fairy, but that doesn't make the  whole procedure any less elaborate  ::)!

My oldest son (7 at the time) found a small stone which looked a lot like a tooth and decided to trick the tooth fairy by putting it under his pillow. He deliberately didn't tell his mum & dad about this, so that we wouldn't give the game away.

His 5 year old brother knew that the fairy wouldn't be fooled, so he took a pound out of his brother's money box and put it under the pillow and put the 'tooth' in the bin, so that he wouldn't be disappointed.

This now means that our 8 year old now 'knows' that the tooth fairy can't be mum, because he got a pound even when he hadn't told mum about a tooth.

Maya swallowed the second tooth she lost in a bit of banana. Tooth Fairy always pays up though.  :)
When Freya lost her second tooth the fairy left the money but forgot to take the tooth and had to come back the next night. Whoops!
I love all the things like this we've started with our girls, OH was in care for most of his childhood and my parents were too busy for stuff like this really. Sometimes I think we've tied ourselves up in knots with it, but when you see what Dandelions daughter has done you know it's all worth it.  ;D

My son once swallowed a tooth and wrote a letter to the tooth fairy to apologise for her wasted journey, she still left him some money!

I know what you mean sometimes Emmy but it's still nice to have these little things and I can't wait till my little girl will start enjoying them as well.

one of my 3 children (can,t remember which) howled with disapointment when they found no money under the pillow. i,d forgotten!!!! :o i searched under the bed and "found some" no trace of the tooth and it never was found

DD lost her first tooth on Christmas Eve.   :o  

Needless to say the Tooth Fairy was a little caught-up in all the magic surrounding Father Christmas coming and so she left her journey until Christmas Day night when there was less magic to interfere with her flying...

We teach our children to not lie, then we tell them all about F.C. and the Tooth Fairy.   :o   ;D   ;D

[manicscousers]

wonder what she'll do when her next one falls out  ;D

[cocopops]

This reminds me of a tooth that my daughter recently lost.  We lived in the UK where the tooth fairy was the norm.  We then moved to France just in time for the eldests teeth to start dropping.  Apparently it is a 'tooth mouse' here, which was ok for the first three teeth.  On the fourth we forgot, naughty parent thing!  My daughter woke up in total panic thinking our mouse munching cat must have eaten it!  Did as some other poster did and threw a euro under the bed!

The tooth fairy comes to our school too. Often a kid loses it's tooth at school and I put it in an envelope to look after it till the child goes home, the child puts is my desk drawer.Sometimes  they forget to come and get it,they come in teary eyed the next day to ask me for it back and and are amazed to see the £1 in the envelope in my office drawer and the tooth gone.

Clever gals these tooth fairies ,they know where to go XX Jeannine
