For older kids, you can include more details, but still try to keep it simple because otherwise, you risk saying too much or giving too much away! Remember-the older the child gets, the trickier it can be, making the note seem authentic. Especially with younger children, you don't want to make the message too complicated. Would it be written on a leaf?! Will you enclose the letter in an envelope-if so, how would it be addressed? Do you have any stickers or can you include a little doodle? What kind of paper would a fairy use? A tiny Tooth Fairy might leave a tiny fairy-sized note. (Yes, you could also type and print if you want to, but this may reduce some of the charm.) Don't forget to write in easy-to-read handwriting, though, as most young kids have a hard time reading cursive. Try writing with your left hand or ask a friend to write the note for you. You will want to either type the letter or write it in a style that your child won't recognize, especially if your kid is skeptical (like mine) and will be sleuthing for clues. What current events might be important to mention? For example, did that big storm/game/news event make it hard for the Tooth Fairy to get there? Also, what does the Fairy plan on doing with the tooth? Specific details will make the letter feel more personal and meaningful. You might compliment or remark on the quality of the tooth or the tooth-losing process or say something about how the child has been brushing and flossing. What other personal details about the child can you include? It's always thrilling to see your name written out, especially if a fairy wrote it! Your kids will be thrilled to know that the Tooth Fairy knows something personal about them.
