Here is my Birthday Corner in my classroom. These balloons are made on colorful cardstock. I give students a giant Pixie Stix with a cute Balloon Happy Birthday card attached for their birthdays, along with a sucker and a birthday bookmark and hat.
I get the Pixie Stix from Sams Club every year online. They come in a package of 50 so you can either use them up in 2 years or else split a package with another teacher.
I just staple the balloon to the paper part of the Pixy Stix at the top. |

I have birthday balloons and also birthday cupcakes blown up giant for the top of the Pixie Stix. They look so bright and colorful in the corner of my classroom. The kids also get to wear a birthday crown (I have a selection of 3 styles for them to choose from).
Lastly, they get to choose a sucker and a Happy Birthday bookmark from the little Happy Birthday box. They are very spoiled on their birthdays. I got these cute suckers from a candy factory near my home. They have 2nds I buy in a giant bag once a year for $5.00.
Here is a copy of the Balloon I used. I copied it once. Then cut out the balloon. Then I cut out and added the Happy Birthday to the inside (cutting off the string). I copied a bunch on many different colors of cardstock colored paper. Then I cut them out and stapled them to the Pixy Stix top. I add a little bit of curly ribbon in rainbow colors to them. It is really colorful and pretty. Link is HERE at Twisty Noodle.
