Late tooth fairy letter: free and editable

How to use it

1. Type your child's name.
2. Pick the letter that fits tonight.
3. Print it. For a fairy-sized note, print at 40% and cut it out.
4. Fold it small and slide it under the pillow with the coin.

A little glitter on the paper or on the windowsill is good evidence. If the tooth was swallowed or lost, a note from your child explaining what happened works just as well as the tooth.

What the letter says

With the example names. Yours will have the names you type.

Dear Emma,

I am so sorry I didn't come last night! I hope you weren't too worried.

It was the busiest night of the whole year. So many children lost teeth at the same time that my bag was full before I got to your street. Then the wind was blowing the wrong way, and my wings were very tired.

I came back as soon as I could. Thank you for waiting. I left a little extra to say sorry.

Your tooth was worth the trip.
