How much does the tooth fairy leave your children?
My daughter lost another tooth yesterday. The tooth fairy made a visit last night and left her $5.00. When I was a kid I got a quarter for my teeth. What do your children get from the tooth fairy? Is $5.00 the average?

We usually give $5 for the first tooth, and $1 for each tooth after. I can remember getting a quarter too!

In our house, it depends on a few things. There have been times when the tooth fairy was "running behind schedule" for a week or so. I told my son I received an email from her telling me that "she was sorry" and that this one time, since he had to wait, that he would be receiving "more than usual" so he got $10.00 . My sisters who has three children said that was too much, but they are only young for so long, you know? Someday we are really going to miss this! Well I'll be darned if that toothfairy seems to always be running behind schedule at our house. After three times, lesson learned in Minnesota! In fact, this might be a funny blog entry for me so thanks for asking the question!

My 7 year old gets a shiny new golden dollar. Although lately she's not impressed with it.

My 6yo just lost her first tooth and we gave her $2 which seemed like a lot to me, but apparently that seems to be the going rate

We usually give our kids a gold dollar. I read once that someone gave their children foreign money from the tooth fairy- to make it special. They told the kids that the tooth fairy travels all over the world so she has money from all over the world. Sounds cool but I've never tried it. My kids think the gold dollars are neat.

Well right now the only one thats holding on to the tooth fairy is my 9 yr, old and I forgot to leave her money yesterday. Oops. But usually a dollar per tooth.

Ok I have to hang my head down and admit that we go crazy. There is glitter fairy dust involved and usually a gift bag with fairy themed items :)

We make it fun with gold one dollar coins. The first tooth and first molar got $10 each then we dropped it to the dollar coin. My son gets excited to see the gold shine. A few of my girlfriends do the same thing so at least when the kids talk we are covered.

Our Tooth Fairy leaves gold dollars and the kids love it! She leaves 2 of them and one time she left a $2 bill! For some reason...they think that is the greatest thing ever to get unusual money!

Hi April! Yes, in our area $5 is now the average. When our son lost his first, we were completely unprepared, and all we had was a $20 bill (it's surprising we even had that). We explained that the first tooth was REALLY special, and every tooth afterward has gotten $5. I did a little research among our friends and wrote up an article about the Tooth Fairy and Inflation if you'd like to read it: http://writtenbytoothfairy.webs.com/apps/blog/show/2982135-how-much...

Tooth Fairy makes a special trip to the bank for the golden dollars. Typically, the kids get one golden dollar for losing teeth. Occasionally, Tooth Fairy leaves tooth brushes too. And she always leaves a note encouraging good brushing habits and flossing. The kids wrote her once to ask what she does with all the teeth. Tooth Fairy says she is building a tooth castle one tooth at a time and she wants nice, strong teeth for it, so you better brush :)
