How much money should I put under my son's pillow from the "Tooth Fairy"?
Answer:
My daughter got a $2 bill for each tooth. You could consider the gold dollars if $2 each is more than you would like to give or can't locate any. I either got a fifty cent piece or a silver dollar. I can't remember. Your local bank should have something unique for you to give.
I would put £1 or $2. You did not say where you were located!
Cheers!
Up to a dollar per tooth.
$1 a tooth I think that is he price increase since the 1980"s ( mine was 25c)
I think $1 is good.
$1... if you get much higher than that it just makes kids think money is real easy to come by... and then your child will begin to pull teeth out, when they are not ready
I would say a dollar per tooth! That's so exciting.. I haven't hit that stage yet, my son is almost 5 and that's what i'll give him!! Good luck
I give a standard $2.00 as soon as the kids turned 6 years old, unless you want to get a half-dollar piece and think your kid would like the shiny big coin instead. They don't buy any of their own stuff most of the time anyway, and my one kid who is 9 just started to see the value of having her own money when she was about 8, so don't expect this kid to start having the brain power to formulate a plan to save this money for something he has been wanting.
Wow I went way over for the first tooth. We gave him $20.00. Oppps. Guess I wont for the next teeth
yep! $1.00 per tooth, seems to be the going rate.funny, I think that was the going rate back when I was a kid too...that was over.well, we will just say that was more than a few years ago!
Enjoy!
Well if you only have ONE kid you can probably afford to put 2 $ under his pillow. If you have more than one kid, id only put 1$ under their pillows, The tooth fairy can drain your money lol, Think of how many teeth a kid has lol. We have four boys, and one baby on the way. I couldnt imagin giving each of them 2$ for every tooth they lost. Thats kinda crazy! 1$ is perfect!
usually most parents put a quarter or 50 cents, surprise him and put 1.00. some parents make a keepsake bracelet for themselves with the teeth.
We decided to put foreign coins under our kid's pillow.
She now has a pretty nice collection and as a result knows a little about each of the represented countries.
You can go to any coin shop and buy them pretty cheaply.
Honestly I say put what you can afford. I made a special fabric pouch for my kids to put under their pillow to put their tooth in and then the "tooth fairy" put four quarters back in it. They honestly liked the quarters better because we could use them to go to the arcade together, use them in the machines for food at the duck pond or just put them in their piggy bank.
It just made it a little more special for both of us. My kids are 21 and 23 now and they both still have their special pouches.
My mom always varied if it was a good tooth then I'd get 2-3 dollars but if it was capped or had a cavity ten I'd only get one.
Good question...I would put 1.00 or so...
i googled that a couple of weeks ago when my son lost his first tooth and i had sooooo many responses that i just gave what ever bill i had on hand which was a five and then took him too the dollar store the next day.
$1 per tooth
i think a dollar or 2 and maybe a pack of sugarless gum or something
I gave mine $1. But I had these gold coin dollars, so he was very existed every time. By the time he was 16, he was disappointed when realized he has no more teeth to loose. (he milked it till the last tooth)
great minds think alike. 1 dollar, and NO TOYS!!
my son is seven and he does chores around the house and gets a pretty good weekly allowence and buys alot of his own things so a dollar would not work for him plus he pulls out his own teeth when there ready to come out no fuss about it and i apperciate that so much that i usaully give him 5 dollars and hes happy with that.
We put $1 to $2 usually. The first tooth gets a bigger amount and if it's a particularly traumatic one (lots of blood or something) then they get to the upper end of the scale as well. I often do a dollar bill, a quarter, a dime, a nickel and a penny together so we can talk about the different coins. I know some people do the special Sacagawea Dollars for lost teeth too.
$1 per tooth.
The only time I made an exception was when my son was pushed into a can and three teeth were knocked out -- when going to bed, he stated "can't wait till the 'Japanese' toothfairy comes, she gives Yen" (we were in Okinawa at the time). I went running downstairs to collect whatever yen I had -- ended up being aroung $5 for the 3 teeth, but it was a tramatic experience.
Wow, after reading all those 1$ answers, my tooth fairy must come all the way from Rodeo Drive. He lost two teeth and got 5$ per tooth that he opted to put in the bank.
Maybe the "tooth" fairy will think twice with the next ones!! Glad i looked at this question!!
$1
it depends on the ages if he's from the age 6-9 i would put $ 5 dollars 10-12 may be $10 and older than that just make a comment like how much do you think your tooth is wroth
I read a few of the first answers, and it seems like a dollar is the going rate..I must be SUPER cheap : ) because I just gave my son 35 cents for his first tooth. I'm sure whatever you decide, your son will be thrilled!
Well, my oldest lost his first tooth when he was 3 and it was because his little brother pushed him off the couch! It had to be removed by the dentist! So, out of pity he got 10 bucks for that one. But ever since, it's been between 2 and 3 bucks.
Well I'm not from the USA
But I always got $2 dollars at the most.
$2 per tooth and then his last tooth 5 cause it makes him feel all grown up
