these days? We have our first lost tooth. She says the girl at daycare got $5. That seems a little steep.... But I guess we don't want to ruin the illusion by paying less.

    We gave our kids $5 for the first one lost and then $1 for each subsequent. I never heard them complain!

    We did one dollar for the first tooth and twenty five cents after.. Tooth fairy is cheap here ! Lol you could tell her the tooth fairy gives out different amounts for how clean it is, which tooth it is and so on. Good luck!

    Your biggest coin... in my part of the world that would be $2.
    I don't think the tooth fairy carries paper money.

    I've been giving $5 dollars. Had no idea what the going rate was, but I'm stuck now.

    I always thought you were meant to leave a coin. Seems strange putting a note there.

    Our kids get a £2 coin for each tooth.

    I think she pays more for the bigger ones. They're much better for building her house.

    My kids are getting $2, although I'm sure if I explain the status of our economy to them, they'll understand why they will get less.
