The middle ground Faber speaks of, is one where everything doesn’t have to be taken so, well, literally: “Kids can experience the joy of imagination without believing that it is literally true. Happily, there is a middle ground where everyone gets to have their cake and eat it, too.” Especially when our kids are directly asking us for information about the world they live in. “At the same time, some of us feel a little uneasy about lying to our children.

“The conflict for parents is that they want their children to enjoy a childhood full of magic and wonder,” says Faber.
TOOTHFAIRY GAMES HOW TO
I asked for their advice on how to discuss all things tooth fairy, and how to deal with any fairy fallout. I reached out to Joanna Faber and Julie King, co-authors of How To Talk So Little Kids Will Listen and the forthcoming How To Talk When Kids Won't Listen. As they may look you squarely in the eye and ask, “But is the tooth fairy real?” But talking to kids about the tooth fairy can get tricky. Telling kids a magical fairy will fly into their room and exchange their bloody nub of a baby tooth with some sort of toy or trinket can make it all a bit more pleasant.
TOOTHFAIRY GAMES FREE
I received this game, free of charge from Petersen Games, in exchange for my honest review.The myth of the tooth fairy was essentially created as a way to make the weird, sometimes painful experience of losing teeth a little less traumatic. But it does mean you need to be careful and count them up after a game because it would be easy to misplace a few.Īll in all, if you have little kids - especially ones who like the tooth fairy - this is a cute set of games. And since the games are really simple - especially the first game - they can play by themselves!ģ.) The teeth are tiny. Its a cute set of games, but not one I'd enjoy playing a ton of times. When speed is part of the game (like in the first game), this can be a downside.Ģ.) None of these games are too sophisticated. I had difficulty getting by hand inside the bag. Here's what I wasn't thrilled with in the game:ġ.) The bags! - You have to pull teeth out of the bags in most of the games, but the bag openings are tiny. This also makes it a great game when you don't have tons of time to play a long game. (I'd say 5 - 10 minutes.) This makes it great for young people with short attention spans.
Thankfully, the beginning game plays very quickly. But this game plays up to 5 people, which means we can all play at once!ĥ.) It plays quickly! - Being that the game concept (teeth and the tooth fairy) appeals to younger kids, a long game doesn't always go well.
This box actually has instructions for FOR different games! And the games get progressively harder, so you can start with the first game (pulling teeth out of a bag until you get your 5 colored teeth) and then progress up to the other games as your kids get older or more advanced as gamers.ģ.) The 4 games are different - not just advanced versions of the first game.Ĥ.) It plays up to 5 people! - Most traditional games play 2 to 4 people. Here's what I like about The Tooth Fairy Game:ġ.) Its super cute! - Those little teeth are so cute and my kids love playing with them!Ģ.) Its actually FOUR games in one! - I LOVE a good bargain, so it's great when a game has several play modes. That's why I was so glad I discovered The Tooth Fairy Game, by Petersen Games! But I don't ever want my youngest to feel like her milestones aren't still milestones. By the time number 3 begins losing teeth, you've seen a LOT of teeth come and go. When the first child loses a tooth, its a HUGE deal. With 3 little girls, some things tend to lose their "specialness" as time goes by.
