* We made a birthday caterpillar with a smiling head followed by black circles
and glitter glue on each circle for the month - each child in that month had
a colored circle with his/her name and the day of his/her birth.  We made the
circles fairly large and the caterpillars ( one for MWFclass and another for
TTh) stretched acrss the whole front wall - it was very colorful and impressive! 

*  I have made the classic birthday train cars and once also did flowers of
birthday garden.
 
*  One idea I have used in the past is to have the saying Bitrhdays around the
Year. 
 I would have each month listed on the board with bullitin board letters and
under the month word had a symbol for each month with the childs name and
birthdate. For example: Sept - apples
                Oct. - pumpkins
 ... June - beach balls
 etc...

*  A birthday board idea that I have used is called Our Growing Garden. A
section of grass is used for each month of the year. Flowers are given to
each child with their name and their birthday on it. This stays up all year
and it is cheerful, especially if you have gloomy days of winter. this year I
am using a Noah theme, soI'm having the children being sets of animals and
arranging them in order.

* in Sept. I make identical birthday cakes out of construction paper for each
child enrolled in the class. Each is  labeled with a child's first names and
birth date and the appropriate number of candles for their age.   I display
them across the top of the wall.  The children like to identify their cake
and whenever someone has a birthday throughout the year. a candle is added.
 The cakes also help everyone (curious parents too)  keep track of how old
the children are.
