Signing off your Tooth Fairy letter: Have a bit of fun and sign off with something magical like “sparkles and fairy dust” and a fun fairy name like Tulip Twinkle or Gardenia Glimmer.

I know you took really good care of your tooth and I’m happy to leave this coin for you.

When there’s no tooth to collect: Please don’t worry – it’s quite common for children to accidentally swallow their tooth if it falls out while they’re eating.When I flew in, I was frightened by your dog/cat OR I noticed your mum/dad was working in the loungeroom and I didn’t want them to see me OR the weather was too rainy/windy for flying… When the Tooth Fairy forgets: I am so sorry I did not collect your tooth earlier.The strongest, healthiest teeth are highly valued, so I encourage you to brush yours twice a day and floss as well. I am pleased to let you know it will be taken to our headquarters, where it will be inspected, sorted and put to good use by the fairies. To encourage good hygiene: Thank you so much for your lovely tooth.It must have been a surprise for you that it came out when… (you were eating an apple/wiggling it etc) First tooth: Congratulations on losing your very first tooth! This is a really special occasion and shows that you are growing up.Here are some suggestions to help get you started. You may like to handwrite a letter or print one in a tiny-sized font. How does the Tooth Fairy know where to visit?.Why does the Tooth Fairy take teeth and what does she do with them?.Here are some of the common questions kids ask for you to ponder: You can choose to be vague and non-committal with your note from the Tooth Fairy or have a bit of fun answering the questions. It’s also a good idea to keep a record of all Tooth Fairy correspondence to ensure a consistent story!Ĭhildren are curious about the Tooth Fairy and will be sure to have questions. You may not want to write a letter for every tooth. Remember, there are 20 teeth for each of your children to lose, so keep things manageable.

You could personalise the Tooth Fairy letter with details about your child, such as mentioning the way they lost their tooth or the colour of their toothbrush.

Perhaps there’s a whole team of Tooth Fairies covering different routes or collecting teeth for different purposes – which helps explain why sometimes the Tooth Fairy leaves cash notes instead of coins and some always visit a day late!Ī note from the Tooth Fairy is an opportunity to get some high-level, magical backup on your calls for your child to brush their teeth, floss and steer away from too many sweets! Perhaps introduce the Tooth Fairy with a cute fairy name or create a back story for her/him. You may like to add to the coin with a Tooth Fairy letter. The story of the Tooth Fairy first originated in America back in 1908 and it’s become a tradition for children in Australia to tuck their lost tooth under their pillows for the Tooth Fairy to collect overnight, leaving a coin in its place. Enlisting the help of the Tooth Fairy can be a great way to distract children from their fears and make losing a tooth an event to look forward to. But a wiggly tooth can also be a little scary and make kids wary about chewing with that part of their mouth.
