How much money does your 'tooth fairy' give your child?

Question

My daughter is six and lost her first tooth. Is $3.00 ok?

Answer 1

I think $3.00 is fine.

Answer 2

$1

Answer 3

haha i never even got anything from my tooth fairy!

however at that age i remember being very happy if i had one dollar, so 3 is great

Answer 4

$5 is what we always do :)

Answer 5

My daughter was 4 and as the first tooth is very special she received a barbie doll, a congrats certificate signed by the tooth fairy (google search tooth fairy) and 1 dollar.   Since then she receives 2 shiny gold dollar coins.  She is now 5 and has lost a total of 4 teeth.

Congrats to your girl.  These milestones are exciting.  

Answer 6

the tooth fairy never leaves more than a dollar. One time the fairy left an "IOU"

Answer 7

three bucks!  gosh the price of teeth has gone up.  yeah, that's pretty good.  but boy am i feeling old lol!

i wouldn't save the tooth btw.  it's kinda icky to look at when you're over (never as amazing as parent think it is) and if they find the tooth, they'll be pretty heartbroken.  and if she's a light sleeper, tell her the tooth fairy has to use a drop off box now a days (like the small part of her book bag) and have her leave the tooth there, so it'll be easier for you to get to and make the switch.

Answer 8

i give 5 dollars to my song

Answer 9

I actually find that leaving a small gift or fun item teaches children a better lesson than giving them cash for their teeth.  I would spend a few dollar on something cute and leave it with a note from the tooth fairy.  I never got the whole leaving money thing since most kids at that age get far more excited by the immediate gratification of a prize than the prospect of a few dollars that have to hold on to until they get to the store to pick something out for a measly few bucks.

Answer 10

yeah that's fine.  lol the tooth fairy works on inflation these days :-)  remember when it was like a quarter underneath your pillow?  i thought i was the richest person in the world!  when my son lost his first tooth, i thought about putting an IOU or a postdated check under his pillow lol :-)

Answer 11

My eldest daughter is 5½ and still hasn't lost her first tooth yet, none are even close to wobbly (Bugger) lol I can't wait to get that first photo with a tooth missing lol but hasn't happened for me yet, I was thinking I would give $5 for the 1st tooth and probably $2 for every tooth after it, But I don't know will see when the time comes.

I used to get $2-$5 when I was a kid (30 now) wow that was a while ago lol.

$3 seems fine to me if that's what you're happy with.

Answer 12

I gave my daughter(who is also 6) $15.00 for her first tooth. We we considering giving her $10.00 for the rest, but stuck to $15 because she loves going to the store and buying a new toy with her money!

Answer 13

3.00$ is perfect.....  and congrats on losing her first tooth!

Answer 14

my mom gave me 1.00 for every tooth and some kids get 20.00 (but their spoiled)

Answer 15

I got at least 10$ for my first tooth. I would give her $5 for the first one then give her $3 for the other teeth.

Answer 16

Yes!

Answer 17

I only got £1.00 which is around

$0.75
