It's so much more fun, and easier, to see what they say. I did the same thing when my son asked that question and his answer was not anything I would have thought up but it seemed to satisfy his question. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tooth-fairy-need-help-with-childs-question#post-2910703 Tue, 25 Feb 2020 12:19:28 +0000 Ajsmommy 2910703@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No specific help here but what I always do in these situations is turn it back on my DD.... </p> <p>I'd say "i don't know, what do you think?" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tooth-fairy-need-help-with-childs-question#post-2910699 Tue, 25 Feb 2020 10:52:41 +0000 Umbreon 2910699@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pinkb: my mom used to make us out them in ziplock bags likely so it was easy for her to find and take. She told us it was to protect the tooth and make it easy for tooth fairy to carry it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tooth-fairy-need-help-with-childs-question#post-2910697 Tue, 25 Feb 2020 10:39:04 +0000 poppygirl15 2910697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SugarplumsMom: @mama bird: ah! I saw these ideas too late. I went with fairy dust. I wish I’d done a fairy secret. The reaction was: that’s weird. But really interesting. :silly: </p> <p>Thanks for all your suggestions! Like @crazydoglady said, they’re all a little weird. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tooth-fairy-need-help-with-childs-question#post-2910695 Tue, 25 Feb 2020 10:32:40 +0000 Foodnerd81 2910695@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pinkb: my kids won’t find their teeth later because they go directly into the bottom of the garbage 😂 </p> <p>I would say fairy secret and speculate with her but since no one has actually seen her we don’t know. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tooth-fairy-need-help-with-childs-question#post-2910694 Tue, 25 Feb 2020 10:31:39 +0000 Umbreon 2910694@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is so funny my husband just asked me last night what we would stay when our son eventually asks what the Tooth Fairy does with the teeth. (Hes only 11 months so we have awhile). Crazy coincidence.</p> <p>I think the Fairy Secret is a good idea. That way if she comes across any other explanations, you could explain it as no one really knows what they do but people can guess. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tooth-fairy-need-help-with-childs-question#post-2910691 Tue, 25 Feb 2020 09:55:01 +0000 pinkb 2910691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Um I cant be the only one that leaves the teeth under the pillow? I slide a couple dollars under and leave them, I don't want to chance waking the kids up. Plus I feel like they would find them later anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tooth-fairy-need-help-with-childs-question#post-2910685 Tue, 25 Feb 2020 07:37:37 +0000 SugarplumsMom 2910685@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I vote for a fairy secret. My daughter asked me this same question a little while back and I just told her IDK 😂 and no one really knows. Thankfully, she was too young to write an actual letter and ask herself! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tooth-fairy-need-help-with-childs-question#post-2910683 Tue, 25 Feb 2020 00:38:37 +0000 Mama Bird 2910683@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I said I've no idea, it's probably a fairy secret lol. Then the kid read a Junie B. Jones story where she's trying to crack the same mystery all along (ends up deciding the fairy gives the teeth to babies, because her baby brother grows a new tooth just as hers falls out). And then happened on some book about how the tooth fairy is an oyster who collects teeth because they look like pearls. He liked both versions!</p> <p>Anyhow, apparently the tooth fairy is not getting any of DS's teeth if he can help it. He got two front teeth pulled at the dentist because they would not come out, and the dentist put them in a box. Next thing I know, the box is under his pillow with a note asking the tooth fairy very nicely to give him a gift, but please let him keep the teeth :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tooth-fairy-need-help-with-childs-question#post-2910682 Tue, 25 Feb 2020 00:16:00 +0000 MamaCate 2910682@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@poppygirl15: my daughter decided she takes them back to fairy land to build houses for the other fairies to live in! No idea where that came from but I loved it! Feel free to steal it... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tooth-fairy-need-help-with-childs-question#post-2910681 Tue, 25 Feb 2020 00:10:21 +0000 crazydoglady 2910681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Turn them into pearls? I can't think of anything nonweird! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tooth-fairy-need-help-with-childs-question#post-2910680 Mon, 24 Feb 2020 23:38:06 +0000 theotherstark 2910680@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would personally probably say something about planting them in the soil to help flower gardens grow, or something like that. Haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tooth-fairy-need-help-with-childs-question#post-2910679 Mon, 24 Feb 2020 23:26:31 +0000 poppygirl15 2910679@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oy. My 7 year old lost a tooth tonight and decided to write the Tooth Fairy a note asking what she does with all the teeth. Have any of you answered this question? I googled it and find the idea of her giving them to babies creepy. Grinding them into fairy dust so she can fly isn't a bad one, but what answer have you given if asked? </p>
