Birthday Pencil Cards


Our nursery does something quite cute. They make a birthday booklet for the birthday child to take home. Each child colors a birthday picture and the leaders write To (birthday child's name) From (child's name who colored picture). All pages are stapled together with a front page that says Happy Birthday from the Nursery. Very cute, easy, inexpensive. (Idea by Terri Finney)

L
aminated 5x7 Church pictures (laminate back to back) with holes punched along the edge - include long shoelace so they can "sew" - this can also be done with recycled Christmas card for a Christmas gift. (Idea by Lisa Sorenson)


We just go to the dollar store and they sell crowns. The birthday child gets to be King/Queen for the day. We have a fairly large nursery, so we need to keep costs down. This seems to work well. I think you will always have the problem with all the other children wanting whatever it is, but it just needs to be explained that their turn will come and that this is a special day for that child, and he will also get to have his special day. (Idea by Shelly Foote)

Our nursery leaders make a card for the child and attach a lollypop to it. Then they hang it by the door so that child can take it home with them. They don't draw any attention to it during nursery and the kids don't seem to notice it. During music time, we sing happy birthday. (Idea by Danyelle Ferguson)

In our Nursery a parent will bring in a birthday cake.  At snack time we sing Happy Birthday, and cut the cake. (Idea by Rosie Steele)

Small Dollar Store photo album (the 24 photo, 4x6 kind) filled with photos of them in nursery, other nursery friends, Jesus, current prophet, the closest temple, nature, etc. (Idea by Lisa Sorenson)
