I don't do a whole lot for my kids' birthdays, typically just a pencil and a birthday card....maybe a piece of candy. I have found in the past that they just want to be recognized on their birthday, and something simple can be all it takes to bring a smile to their face. I made these birthday pencil toppers that you may like. Just print them off, laminate, and tape to a pencil. Get them all ready at the beginning of the year and then all you have to do is grab one from the can on their birthday. I cut around mine using pinking shears. I have also included a style that could work for a button instead of a pencil topper. It says, "It's my birthday." After you laminate those, just hot glue a metal button backing that you can get in the jewelry section of Wal-Mart or a craft store like Hobby Lobby. Enjoy!
As always, I love comments, so say hello sometimes when you stop by. :-)
Feel free to pin. Just hover over the image. The can above is a soup can that I spray painted. The pencils came from the Dollar Spot at Target. |
