Tooth Fairy Rates

[Tinkerbelle739]

Tooth fairy leaves 2 golden shiny dollars!! DD loves them. She has never seen them anywhere else, so she thinks it is a Tooth Fairy thing!!

Jolie C: I love the "pays more for clean teeth" policy! For these rates, i'd brush 5 times a day!

My cousins all get $5 a day. Does that seem to be the going rate?

It’s amazing that we are basing our rates on how much it would cost to get a candy bar or an ice cream. I know kids teeth fall out naturally but should we really promote snacking as an answer.

I follow the same philosophy for Halloween – we never pass out candy usually we get some smaller items (sticker, erasers, pencils) from Oriental Trading Company and pass those out instead.

Disney Dollars seems to be the best answer that way they can save up and maybe get a small souvenir with their “own” money.

My kids get 5 Disney Dollars per tooth.

We put the tooth in a glass of water and the tooth fairy leaves them 4 quarters. That way the fairy does not have to risk waking the light sleepers up!

Wow I am thinking of pulling a few teethe, anyone want to be my toothfairy, lol?! Our tooth fairy leaves a doallar a tooth no matter how it comes out and the location of the tooth. I remember getting 25 cents!

$1.00 per tooth from our fairy!! One exception was the time I had no small change so dd got a yo yo that I happened to have picked up a few days earlier for a potential bday gift. Now I keep a stash of ones handy.

Both girls have lost teeth at WDW and since a nice CM told my oldest that Tinkerbell pays double - HA they got $2.00 in Disney Dollars. (I am glad I wasn't paying more than $1.00 before that trip!).

I prefer to teach snacking in moderation. Doing anything in moderation is an important lesson to learn. When she loses a tooth, she can choose to spend her money on anything she wants. If she wants a Nerds Rope, now is her chance because that is something she rarely gets. If she chooses to save her money for a toy, she can do that as well.

As I read the post I just made I had to bust out laughing as I glanced down at the picture of my poor son stuffing his face with Jelly Beans. I guess moderation goes out the window on Easter morning.

So far my daughter only last one tooth and I gave her $10 becayse it was her first but she has her second loose now and will get $5. I think that is doable. We only got a dollar when my mom remembered.

Tooth Fairy gives $5 for the first lost tooth.

After that, she gives Sacajawea Dollars . . .

DD's first tooth was $10.

Toothfairy came for the second time last night. She was planning on leaving $5. However, she sent a fairy helper to do the task. He left $20!! OMG!

DD told her teacher this afternoon what the toothfairy left under the pillow and the teachers eyes bugged out of her head.

I think I need to have a talk with the toothfairy helper and explain what is appropriate.

I give my daughter her allowance every week in Sacajawea coins, she gets 3 every Friday. For her teeth she will be getting 10 for the first and anywhere from 3-5 for teeth after that, depending on what I have in my pocket. I got 1.00 a tooth when I lost mine 30+ years ago.
I actually base the allowance on one dollar for every year but when she turned four I gave her 4 and she gave me one back saying she only wanted three LOL!

As kids, we always got $1 a tooth from the toothfairy. The "toothfairy" would sometimes forget and end up palming a coin in his hand and plop it into the pillowcase the next morning when I was frantically searching for the dollar. I apparently wasn't looking properly

 

[clh2]

We never paid more than $2, and it always varied. Sometimes it would be $1, others $2, sometimes it would be $1.43. Our DD deterimined that the actual amount you received was based on how much money the tooth fairy had - and how many kids lost teeth in one day.

Once DD started comparing notes with kids in school - so and so gets $5, and this kid gets $3 etc - we changed the payout again. The tooth fairy started giving foreign coins. Then the comparisons became a mute point!

WOW, you guys give a lot of $ per tooth

I've given dd6 25 cents a tooth since she was 5 yrs. old. She's never complained about the amount and was very happy and excited to find it under her pillow in exchange for her tooth.

We must have the same toothfairy! Inflation is amazing...I used to get a quarter!
