By eight or nine, many kids are asking pointed questions. How does she carry all those coins? Why does her handwriting look like the printer? Letters written for five-year-olds can feel babyish, and sometimes they end the magic faster. Our Big Kid letters are written differently. They sound like an old friend, not a storybook. One gently acknowledges that your child is starting to wonder, says that wondering is how magic grows, and makes a promise that is completely true: the people who love them noticed this tooth and wanted tonight to be special. Another celebrates being nearly at the finish line, with years of wiggly adventures behind them and grown-up teeth to look after. They use a cooler starlit theme with constellations and a fairy flight map, and they never talk down. If your child is close to their very last baby tooth, see our last-tooth letter too.

“You're getting older now, and I know you are starting to wonder about lots of things, including me. That's good. Wondering is how magic grows.”

  • Dear Mia, a letter for a big kid

    You're getting older now, and I know you are starting to wonder about lots of things, including me. That's good. Wondering is how magic grows.

    Here is what I know for sure: you lost your first tooth, the people who love you noticed, and they wanted tonight to feel special for you. That part is completely real.

    I left a shiny coin. Keep a little wonder in your pocket, even when you're all grown up.

    Your oldest friend,

    Twinkle

    For a Big Kid Who Still Believes

    For the age of wondering. Honest, gentle and still full of magic.

  • Mia, we're nearly at the finish line!

    Can you believe it? Your first tooth! You've been losing teeth for years now, and each one has been a little adventure.

    Soon you'll have a full set of grown-up teeth, and my visits will become rare. That makes each one even more special to me. And this time you bit into a crunchy apple. Truly impressive.

    I left a shiny coin. Take care of those big teeth. They have a lot of smiling to do.

    Fondly,

    Twinkle

    Almost a Full Set of Grown-Up Teeth

    Years of wiggly adventures, and the finish line is in sight.

Questions parents ask

Is my child too old for tooth fairy letters?

Not if they still enjoy the ritual. Children often keep playing along well past believing because it feels warm. A letter written for their age keeps it fun instead of childish.

What do I write to a child who is starting to doubt?

Be warm and a little honest. Our secret-keeper letter says the people who love them wanted the night to feel special, which is true whether they believe or not.

Which design is best for older kids?

Starlight Explorer, our teal and midnight theme with constellations and a flight map, feels grown-up without losing the magic.

How many baby teeth do kids lose?

Children have 20 baby teeth, and most lose them between about ages 6 and 12, so big kids may still have several visits left.

Tonight's the night.

The tooth is under the pillow. The letter takes two minutes.
