My daughter lost her first tooth at her dads. He gave her five bucks. She lost her second tonight and it surprised me. I have no cash! What should I give her? I have a ring my father gave me when I was her age. She hasn't seen it, I thought about that, but it seems rather extravogant. I don't know what to do. What can I give her besides cash?
Ideas for Tooth Fairy?
how abot chocolate or something sweet. (tooth fairys can give sweet stuff)
Reply:do u have a gold coin? 4 quarters? juss give her some spare change. wen i lost my first tooth i gold one of those gold coins (the ones that r $1)
Reply:My mom did that before but gave me a necklas..
I like the ring idea,a nd have any candy?? lol
Reply:Write a letter or print up a certificate from the tooth fairy. It could be for anything you want. If you have some pretty ribbon or even a christmas bow to put on it, that would spice it up. Try KidPrintables.com for possible certificates, etc.
Reply:A coupon from the tooth fairy. Good for up to $5 next time mom takes her to her fave store.
Reply:Make up a coupon for either a toy she has wanted or for an ice-cream date with you.
Reply:Try a sweet treat. That way the tooth fairy can visit her again real soon.
Reply:Some other kind of jewwelry-costume jewelry maybe? Hair clips, a little toy, a new book or movie
Reply:How old is your daughter? If she's responsible the ring isn't a bad idea!
Reply:Maybe a special fairy note thanking her for putting her little "pearl" under her pillow. Does she even understand what $5 is? A little gift might mean a lot more. Good luck.
Reply:You can either tell her the tooth fairy is not real {THe truth} or you can say the tooth fairy is low on cash right now and will get more later.
Reply:In times like this I have actually given my children a note from the tooth fairy stating that she is sick or on vacation and will get back to them as soon as she returns. It worked for them and I have five children four that are old enough to know about the tooth fairy and they still believe one is only 2 months old. so its worth a try like I said it worked for me so far
Reply:give her a letter saying we're going to knott's berry farm! or somewhere near you that's fun. anything to keep her mind off the fact that she didn't get a couple of dollars will do.
for example, write a letter like this:
dear jane,
this is the tooth fairy, i decided that
you're too special to just get a few bucks
under your pillow so I decided to tell your mom
to take you to ______ next saturday.
have fun,
sincerely,
the tooth fairy
Reply:ibelieve in the tooth fairy dddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd...
Reply:borrow some money from a friend. if not, leave a note under her pillow saying how the tooth fairy headquaters was robbed or something and how it might be a while until they can give her the money that is rightfully hers. and leave some sparkle dust or something, then a small sheet that says "I.O.U - toothfairy"
Reply:You mean there really is no tooth fairy!!!!???? It was my mom and dad the whole time??? :'(
j/k
Give her a certificate for something, like a shopping trip with you when you do have money......or maybe a get out of doing chore slip. If she asks, tell her that there must have been a different tooth fairy that worked her daddy's side of town.
Reply:i think the ring should come from you not the tooth fairy. tonight while shes asleep, make a little treasure hunt for her with clues leading from room to room, and something kinda cool at the end. she'll have more fun than just getting money, so maybe she wont notice that the gift is less than she got last time. or have the tooth fairy give her a gift certificate for something, like a toy she wants, or a trip to the pool. something you guys dont do a lot.
Reply:lol, just follow your heart, make something or place an I O U and buy or placing something under there going to keep up with for the next few years
Reply:Leave her a hand made gift certificate for a meal of her choice. (I.E McDonalds or something that she will enjoy). "the Tooth Fairy" did that for me a few time when I was young, and I loved it.
Reply:honestly...$5 for a tooth?? that's a little silly...you're giving your child the idea of..''hey,if i lose my teeth i get money.'' you should def. try to give her something else. and don't give the ring your father gave you,she's too young to probably understand the meaning of it. give it for a more appropriate occasion. write her a note that the tooth fairy supposedly gave her,and write that she can pick any movie she wants to see for free from the toothfairy. : ]
Reply:My mom is a dentist- (I'm 24 now.) When I lost my teeth, along with the obligatory quarter(s) she would write a tiny note, in tiny handwriting, about how nice my tooth looked, how I must understand all about brushing and tooth care and not eating too much sugar etc. I LOVED it. Much more than the money. For your daughter, you might want to mention that "you" didn't have time to write a note for the last tooth because lots of children lost their teeth that night. (Explain later that the tooth fairy doesn't always leave money, and besides, a handwritten note is much cooler anyway.)
If you feel that you must address the money issue, you could further add that "you" had time to write the letter because this house was "your" last stop- but "you" also ran out of money! However- "I woke your mom up and authorised her to pay $5 for the tooth- I'll pay your mom back tomorrow." Tomorrow, visit the bank and take out $5 for her, $5 for yourself, and leave yourself that extra five dollars under YOUR pillow (for her to see in the morning).
If you want to keep your daughter's tooth, pack it in vasoline- otherwise it will dry out and crack.
Reply:well I would give her a note that said bake cookies with mom or let me read you a story spend time with her doing some thing she likes to do picnic go for a walk . Take the tooth and sprinkle a little glitter in the room going out the door or window (fairy dust )make a note or card that gives her some special time with you tell her the fairy must of ran out of money so you wanted to do something with her make a craft you know what she likes or just put on some music and dance good luck
Reply:I have forgotten a couple of times when one of my 3 kids lost teeth. On one occasion, after we had just moved I forgot and the very next evening the tooth fairy came with a little note saying how busy she was and that she had gone to our old address by accident. Perhaps you could just leave the tooth for tonight and tell her that maybe the tooth fairy made a mistake and went to her Dad's house by accident. Let him in on it too just in case. If she is going there again to sleep, let her know you'll let the tooth fairy know where she will be sleeping. If you give her the ring, it will lose it's sentimental value because you won't be able to explain that it was from your Dad. My kids have even believed me when I said I would phone the tooth fairy and see what happened. Some nights are just plain busy for her!! Your child will believe whatever you tell her, just keep it simple and if she believes the tooth fairy just can't make it some nights, it will save you in future evenings!!
Reply:oh dear..lol do you have any glitter ??? some coins you can borrow of a neighbour or something.. i used to sprinkle glitter,or cut up some tiny bits of coloured paper and put the money in a glas of water , the tooth would be in there and the tooth fairy would exchange , or you could write an write an IOU from the tooth fairy..lol my daugher bought this story ,hehehe type up something pretty and make up a cute little story about dropping her coin in the ocean and a dolphin accidently swalling it on the way and thats she promises to go back and help the dolphin get the money out so she can bring it to her, then shine up some coins and leave them in a glass full of glitter. Thats bettr than $5 bucks to a little girl i think..
Reply:thering sounds good you could do that or give her candy or bothi have gotten a ring before so it was pretty cool to.
Reply:Why don't you try making a nice small greeting card for now and later take her out on a small treat.She would love it!
Gifts can come later!
Reply:Oh yeah.........I have been there. I remember having only a twenty dollar bill and not wanting to give him that much so I had to run out to get change at about midnight.
I once heard a great story of a family that gave the child gifts instead of money. Maybe that is why they did it. ha ha. They ran out of money the first time and all they had were toys and such...thus the tradition began.
How about the ring............with a letter:
Dear......................,
What an exciting time for you. I am so proud that your tooth fell out and know what a special time this is for you. I know you were probably expecting money under your pillow but,
I wanted to give you a very special gift this time. This is a ring.......
a ring of love. Every time you wear it remember how much your parents and family love you. They believe in you and will always be there for you and so do I.
Love,
the tooth fairy
Otherwise, write this:
Dear..........................,
You are such a special girl!! I can't believe you lost another tooth already!!!! You are really becoming grown up. Let's play a game.
Today at two thirty ( or wheneever) you will receive another letter....it will be hidden somewhere in your house with a clue as to where you can find your money from me!! then make up a few letters. Letter one: Go to the table and look under it and you will find another letter.
Letter 2: Your special gift from me can be found in something blue that is in the kitchen............or something like that.
