How to Write a Letter to the Tooth Fairy

Children love fairy tales, whether it is the excitement of Christmas morning, the challenge of an Easter egg hunt or the magic of waking up to find a dollar where a tooth used to be. The ability to communicate with these make-believe characters just adds more depth to this game. Writing a letter to the tooth fairy is different from a letter to Santa because the child typically does not ask for anything. You can encourage her write her questions, along with her gratitude, in a letter to the tooth fairy.

Things You'll Need

Pencil
Paper
Envelope

Instructions

- 1
  Find out what your child wants to say to the Tooth Fairy. If the question is "Can you bring me more money for my tooth?" you need to be ready for that up front. Once you and the child know what he or she wants to say, get out some paper and write the body of the letter. Use this as an opportunity to enforce whatever writing and grammar skills he or she has already learned.
- 2
  Write the greeting. It can be something as simple as "Dear Tooth Fairy" or an entire paragraph showing the child's gratitude for the money to be received.
- 3
  Write the conclusion. Again, this can be simple, like "Thank you very much for the money" or a more elaborate paragraph that talks about things like what the child plans to do with the money, or how excited he or she is to look under the pillow.
- 4
  Put the letter in an envelope marked "Tooth Fairy c/o Tooth Fairy Castle."
