Pacifier Fairy Logistics

I did the pacifier fairy thing for my twins. We collected all the pacifiers in the morning and put them in a yellow paper bag on the kitchen table. We went out for the day and when we came back there was "fairy dust" - we used little pom poms - leading up to the door and all around the table. There was a larger yellow bag with a present inside for each of them. That night they went to sleep with their new toys. This way we didn't have to deal with the night issue where they knew the pacifiers were on the table but they couldn't use them.

Good luck!

I have always heard that you make a big ordeal about collecting all the pacifiers, wrapping them in a box or some other fancy thing. Decorate the box, stickers glue whatever and have a note to the pacifier fairy. Let her know when she wakes up in the morning, the fairy will leave something in the same spot or box for her. If you think she will have a hard time, for a few days, every day for a few days or a week, there can be a note and little gift, candy or something left for her.
If you keep the one with her, then she might feel like the pacifier fairy was 'stealing" it from her rather than her giving it to her.
good luck in however you decide to do it.

Hi! When my daughter was 2 we had the nunu fairy come. We had her tell us something she wanted, something really special! Then we reminded her that such and such date was when the fairy was coming (On Friday or whatever.) Then the night before the big day the fairy brought the special present. We wrapped it very fancy, big bow, etc...The deal was that night the fairy would be back for the nunu's or the present. She gave up the nunu's very easily. Only asked once that night at bed, and then never asked again.(As a matter of fact she found one we missed about two weeks after and brought it right to me.) We didn't think it was fair to ask her to give them up w/o some compensation. If you think it will help have her help you wrap the nunu's in a box for the fairy to come pick up that night. That way she won't think they are just on the table. My daughter was so excited about her new doll that she never even asked about the fairy coming to pick them up! We thought it would be a real struggle, as she was very attached. We were ready to hear several nights of crying, begging, screaming, what have you. Hope yours will go as smoothly!

Some people send them in the air tied to helium balloons..

The idea is based on the toothfairy. You place it under the pillow and the next morning there is the prize..

Some of them will begin throwing the paci's away (without daughters knowledge) so that there is only 1 left.. The one that is left is placed under her pillow or next to her bed or in a box in the mailbox the night that the fairy will visit.. The first thing in the morning take daughter to check out the mailbox and find her prize..

The other option is to start cutting the tips off of the other paci's and saying
"hmm.. must be broken" each time she tries to use them and allow her .. throw them away as she finds them" Just leave 1 in the end to send to the Fairy.

Hi- the day of, when my son woke up (he was 2 and 4 months), we reminded him what we'd been telling him all week. That that day we were going to put all his binkys in a special box for the binky fairy (I decorated a shoe box to make it look special.) Then she would take them and give them to all the new babies coming into the world (we had a friend who just had a baby so we used him as an example.) And in its place, she would leave a very special surprise for him (in our case a train set from Target.) We read him one or two books about "no more pacifiers" but after we took them away, we never mentioned them.
So we put the box on the front steps and went on with our day. At nap he asked for the binky and we told him the deal. He screamed for 20 minutes, napped for only 30. When he got up, we brought him to see his surprise.
That night he didn't cry. Just kinda talked to himself.
For about 1-2 weeks took him some time to settle down for nap. He would cry a little but I just let him be. And now he still talks himself to sleep a little (it's actually pretty funny sometimes)...
Some things about our situation- he only used the pacifier for nap and sleeping at night. And we made sure every binky was gone. We didn't back track. Since your daughter uses it during the day, maybe start phasing it out then and then use the fairy bit for when you are ready to take it away during sleep?
Also, I waited till April because I felt his cold season would be over and be wouldn't need it for comfort because he didn't feel well... And I had to be mentally ready for him to give it up.
I had no reason to believe this would work- he seemed so dependent on it for sleep. But it went really well! Potty training was a lot harder for us :)
Good luck!

With my children, I took them away one day when they weren't around (they mostly used them at night). That evening, I went to get a pacifier and said "oh, wow!! The pacifier fairy came last night and took away your pacies!!!" I can't remember whether I gave them notice about it... (mean, mommy, I know....) What you could do is just take them away and say "look!! The pacie fairy was here and she took away the pacifiers and left you a present!!" I think easier than leaving them sitting out. The other thing you could do is have her put them in a big manilla envelope and you could "mail" them to the pacifier fairy so she has a chance to say goodbye to them. Later that day or in the evening, you could give a present and say the fairy must have received the package because she left a present!
Hope it works!!

As she loses them, do not replace. Just keep telliing her you will not
buy anymore. When the last one is lost, that is it. End of discussion. OR
you can wait until she is older. She is only two. However, I would limit it
to naptime and bedtime only. Remember she will not enter school with a
pacifier.I am an old fashion kind of person.
