Birthday Bag {Monday Made It}





For today's Monday Made It I made birthday bags for my new class. I got most of the supplies for the bags at the Target dollar spot. They have so many new things for back to school! I also made Happy Birthday tags using Schoolgirl Style Fabulous Frog theme she has editable tags so you can make them anything you want. The Happy Birthday balloon is attached to a crazy straw. I got the crazy straws from Amazon. I love using Amazon it is usually cheaper and faster than actually going to the store. Just a little idea to celebrate birthdays in your classroom.

  2. This will save you a lot of time. I always feel bad towards the end of the year when I can't even find any more than maybe a birthday pencil.

    1. Yes, that was me my first couple of years...scrapping around for little things. So this saves me time when birthday's crop up early in the year!

  3. I made birthday balloon crazy straws last year, and the kids loved them. I really like the idea of a "birthday bag" because I have a lot of book marks, erasers, etc. I accumulated over the years that I can use to fill the bags.
    Thanks for the idea!

  4. I use birthday bags every year, but I don't put goodies in the bag. On that child's birthday, I give a folded piece of construction paper to each child in the class and they create a homemade card. At the end of the day, the birthday child takes the bag home and reads all the cards. Only once has a child made a note with something inappropriate on the card. (Now, they hand the card to me to look over and then I place the card in the bag.)
