Are you thinking about back to school time? I know, I know... summer CAN'T be over yet! That to-do list starts growing and growing, but so does your excitement as you get closer to meeting your new group of kiddos. This is one project that is actually FUN to make and gets you excited for the year to come. And... SO CUTE, right?!
I first learned about Birthday Cups stumbling around online. Mrs. Hulsey has a great post about how she makes her cups. I posted the idea to my Facebook page and there were several local teachers interested in having a little assembly party!
Here's what you'll need for your Birthday Cups. I've linked to the supplies I ordered online.
1) Clear Plastic Cups with Dome Lids: A little spendy, but so worth it. They really complete the look!
2) White Tissue Paper: Dollar store, y'all! So easy, and cheap!
3) Pencils: Dollar store! (Although I bet you have a ton sitting in your prize bucket right now.)
4) Candy: Any assortment will do! I put around three pieces in each cup.
5) Sticky Hands and Stamps: Just for fun! :) Amazon and Oriental Trading have great little party favors that would be perfect in these cups.
6) Pom Poms: You know, like the cherry on top?? I just hot-glued them to the lid.
7) Full Sheet Labels: Sticker paper would work here, as well as address labels and such. Use what works for you!
I used Mrs. Hulsey's Birthday Cup Labels, because, come on.... So cute!
I invited my friends over for a few hours and we knocked out over THREE HUNDRED Birthday Cups, in an assembly line. Each teacher contributed $20 for the cost of supplies, and they each left with over 30 birthday cups! That's less than a $1 per cup. What a steal! :)
BONUS: Post this list of all of your learner's birthdays, and you'll be SO SET for the year!
