I guess I should call soon and ask. Now I'm curious if other parents have brought stuff in and what the teachers did. I def do not want m to be given sweets. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1st-birthday-treats-for-day-care#post-594198 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 12:19:37 +0000 purrpletulips 594198@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ask the daycare what they recommend. I was going to bring in cupcake's for DD's 2nd birthday but the teachers requested something other than cupcakes (too messy) so I took rice crispy treats. They posted a note on the door a couple days beforehand letting parents know about the treat and allowing them to opt their child out if they wanted. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1st-birthday-treats-for-day-care#post-594126 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 12:01:25 +0000 T.H.O.U. 594126@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The gift baggies and the treats didn't start until the kids hit their second birthday. I think its just too hard at a year because there is a big difference in what to give a ten month old versus a 14 month old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1st-birthday-treats-for-day-care#post-594052 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 11:44:15 +0000 winniebee 594052@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: Ours has 2 infant rooms (one for young infants and one for older infants). Then a young toddler room (16 months ish to 2 years) and then a toddler room of 2-3 year olds. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1st-birthday-treats-for-day-care#post-594009 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 11:33:21 +0000 mediagirl 594009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All the parents at my daycare seem to bring in cupcakes (either homemade or store bought). I'm the mean mommy who has a sign on her kid's cubby that says "no sweets." :) </p> <p>That being said......I was planning on taking cupcakes in to daycare for her first birthday for the teachers and kids who could enjoy them. Ha ha ha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1st-birthday-treats-for-day-care#post-593984 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 11:27:05 +0000 littlek 593984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not sure if we are allowed to bring food for the kids, but I'll probably bring in cupcakes for the teachers. I like the gift bag idea, then the parents can decide to give it to their LO or not. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1st-birthday-treats-for-day-care#post-593938 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 11:18:05 +0000 lavender 593938@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm going to be bad and bring cupcakes for daycare! Granted their are only 10 kids w/ M being the youngest baby who eats solids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1st-birthday-treats-for-day-care#post-593516 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 09:34:42 +0000 LuLu Mom 593516@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I'm going to do something like bubbles or colors instead of treats for my LO's first birthday! And attach a cute little note with a saying about it being her first birthday! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1st-birthday-treats-for-day-care#post-593513 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 09:34:33 +0000 regberadaisy 593513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: oh hmmm I should ask when she'll be moved to the older room!</p> <p>@mrs. wagon: yes on the baggie! I will already have a ton of small baggies for party favors! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1st-birthday-treats-for-day-care#post-593512 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 09:34:09 +0000 winniebee 593512@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: oooh i like the idea of bringing in a gift baggie for all the kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1st-birthday-treats-for-day-care#post-593508 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 09:33:11 +0000 winniebee 593508@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: T will be in the older infant room by then (most babies 10-16 months) so I'm going to bring in some kind of treat - muffins or poundcake or maybe something slightly healthier. It's in the policies and procuedres that you can bring treats for bday at our daycare. I just plan to ask the director what people typically bring. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1st-birthday-treats-for-day-care#post-593489 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 09:29:15 +0000 mrs. wagon 593489@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: I would probably do little packages for each kid, maybe yogurt melts since that was such a favorite of Wagon Jr.'s when he was that age. Or puffs. And I would probably do cupcakes for the teachers! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1st-birthday-treats-for-day-care#post-593484 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 09:28:23 +0000 mrs. wagon 593484@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: haha. it's so early, I haven't had my coffee yet, I should have REALLY pointed out that this was this year for his THIRD birthday and all of his 3 year old friends. LOL.</p> <p>I actually didn't send in anything for his second birthday! And his first birthday he wasn't in daycare yet. So yeah, cupcakes would probably not be the best for a first birthday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1st-birthday-treats-for-day-care#post-593465 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 09:22:52 +0000 regberadaisy 593465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: haha - I so want to do fun cupcakes! But I don't even want M to have cupcakes so I wouldn't subject other parent's younger kids to have them. I thought about doing Mrs Pen's bean cupcakes though...</p> <p>How did your daycare handle giving sweets out to the babies though? Was this for when he was older than 1? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1st-birthday-treats-for-day-care#post-593455 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 09:20:11 +0000 mrs. wagon 593455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went against what was recommended (healthy snacks like jell-o or mini muffins) and just made a batch of funfetti cupcakes. Bad mommy. The kids and teachers loved them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1st-birthday-treats-for-day-care#post-593450 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 09:17:16 +0000 regberadaisy 593450@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I kinda want to bring something into daycare for M's birthday.</p> <p>I was thinking maybe "fancier" snacks for the kids who are old enough to eat them. I'm thinking like yogurt melts, etc. And just puffs for the really young ones?</p> <p>And I will def ask the teachers to OK with all the parents beforehand.</p> <p>What about teachers? Cupcakes for them?</p> <p>Did you bring anything into daycare for LO's first birthday? What did you bring? </p>
