1 Year B-Day at Daycare

in Babies: 9 - 12 Months
My LO's birthday is coming up, and I wanted to see if anyone did any type of celebration at daycare for your LO.   His daycare doesn't want parents bringing in any foods for the other kiddos.  Is there anything else that you can do to celebrate?  It just feels a little weird to not do anything for his birthday at a place that is such a big part of his day-to-day life.

    You could bring something special to do, like bubbles.

    Parties are encounged at DS's daycare center. His will be later this week with a rainbow theme and we are having rainbow cupcakes and party hats ... all the kids will get tie dyed t-shirts we made and rainbow swirl playground balls. Its towards the end of the day so it will just be a fun play time.

    Ok, to add to the bubbles, maybe a bubble machine. $15 at target. Or balloons with helium. I wouldn't do latex, but maybe some Mylar balloons from the dollar store...

    I really don't think for the first year I would do anything.  The kid's don't care at that age.  I'm normally ok with doing things for kids that won't remember, but this just seems like it would be a pain for the people who work at the daycare to do a party for a child a group of kids who would be oblivious.

    DD's daycare suggests donating a book to the class.  They also do some kind of little birthday ceremony, although probably not for the 1-year-olds.

    If nothing else, I'll dress her in a special birthday outfit and maybe try to pick her up a little earlier than usual.

    I agree bringing something for a non-food party sounds nice.  Bubbles, maybe party hats?

    ETA: I had said balloon but just saw other post about those being a PITA for providers and could totally see how that would happen.  OUr DD is at daycare on her birthday but they have no allergies so we can bring cupcakes which is all I'm doing -- she takes a photo of all the kids and they sing.
