Birthday Month Cupcakes – Classroom Decor Set

Set up a class birthday wall with a cupcake card for every month of the year. Each of the 12 wide cards shows a cupcake in its own liner and frosting colors, topped with a seasonal picture such as a snowflake for January, an umbrella for April, a watermelon slice for July or an acorn for November, beside the month number and name in large type. Cards print three to a page with dashed cut lines.

Students' names go on 27 candle cut-outs, each with a flame, a name strip and a circle for the birthday date. Two ribbon strips spell out "Our Birthday Club" to title the board. A set-up page lists what is in the set and gives three steps to print, label and pin the pieces, along with tips for busy months and for laminating the cards so only the candles change each year.

The final page, Our Birthday List, is a write-in teacher record with a box for each month, an overflow box for extra names and a line to choose one group celebration day for students whose birthdays fall while school is out.
