I got the sweetest opportunity a few weeks ago to partner up with Oriental Trading to showcase some of their awesome-ness and how I can use it in my classroom.
One of the things on my summer to do list {like every year!} is to go ahead and get my students birthday treats made and packaged up so I can just grab and go when we have a classroom birthday.
So, when I got the opportunity to pick a few items. I knew immediately I wanted to find some birthday treats. AND... I wanted a CUTE but EASY way out.
These cute little plush monkeys were just too stinkin' cute for my girls!
And, usually my boys are the hardest to buy something.
But, I knew immediately I wanted these little squishy footballs.
And, I purchased these swirl suckers almost every year for some occasion. They are a great deal!
And seriously, I just stuck everything in a party cup!
I also added a little paper shred to each cup.. because I had it available.
But, TOTALLY not necessary!
Here are the links one more time for easy access..
I also want to mention they have a great educational category.
check out the goodies there while you are shopping.
And.. one more thing {but, it's a great idea too!}
Oriental Trading has a feature where you can set up a wishlist to share with your family and parents. I know parents or some years are better than others with donations. But, parents seriously have NO idea you want donations if you don't ask for them.. create a wish list and share it with them. If you get a couple of items it will be worth it!
I love this idea with the cups! Absolutely adorable!
ReplyDeleteBirthday gifts are on my to-do list for this week!
