It makes your life so much easier if all you really have to do is come up with answers to a few questions. Get your children to ask the Tooth Fairy questions in the letters they write.With that in mind, here are a few tips that might be some help:
That’s what always takes up the most time - Coming up with ideas! It’s not that I lack imagination, but sometimes it’s hard to think what to write.Parents are BUSY! And it’s not always that easy to find the time at the end of a long day once everyone is tucked up in bed and you still have eleventy-billion things to do.All beautifully coloured and decorated.īut there are a couple of problems with being Tooth Fairy for the night: Then we had those few wonderful years when they appeared downstairs with ready-written letters. It really doesn’t seem to matter how many letters they write, they never seem run out of questions for him or her.įrom “What’s your name?” and “Where do the Tooth Fairies live?”, to “What do tooth Fairies do with the teeth?”.īefore they could write their own letters properly, they used to tell me what they wanted to know and I’d write for them. Writing to the Tooth Fairy is such a lovely exercise. They loved the letters *from* the tooth fairy so much, that they wanted to write letter *to* the tooth fairy in return. So, a few years ago now, I started writing letters from the tooth fairy, to leave by their bed with their shiny coin every time they lost a tooth.Īnd the letters had an interesting side effect. It’s nice to get on board when they’re that excited! The tooth fairy seems to reinforce the idea that losing a tooth is a real childhood milestone moment and makes the whole thing bizarrely exciting. My children have always loved the idea of the tooth fairy – A magical little person with wings that flies to their bedside in the night and makes all that tooth wobbling worth it with a letter and a shiny coin.
