Birthday Countdown: ◙ 20 days to go: Birthday Cake Craft ◙
On this day, their note said:
For your countdown craft activity, I'm going to give you a paper birthday cake...
Use pompoms and paper and stickers for frosting, and let's see what you make!
I printed a cake template, and cut circles and rectangle "sprinkles", and made paper roses from Crayola construction paper, punched out flowers from a flower punch, gave some pieces of crepe paper streamers, ribbon, pompoms, stickers, glue, and a pair of scissors for their birthday cake craft activity.
Open-ended cake craft like this one kept them busy as they used their creative skills and decided how they wanted to decorate their "birthday cake". Similarly, you can print out a cupcake template and have a "decorate your cupcake" activity.
As a variation, you can make a 3D version of a birthday cake craft, by wrapping circle or square boxes with plain paper to represent the cake, and have the kids add embellishments on all sides to decorate their cake.
Enjoy!
xoxo
