Daycare moms: questions regarding birthdays

Did you send in something for your DC's birthday, like cake or cupcakes?  What did you send?

DS had cake yesterday and then was sent home with a prepackaged thing of cotton candy.  I don't care that he had the cake, but cotton candy?  Really?  I was thinking more like doing a small goody bag with yogurt raisins, Jammy Sammy's and maybe some other heathy-ish snacks.  I was a little shocked at the cotton candy, TBH.

  • Once I sent cupcakes. Once I sent carrot zucchini muffins.

  • I sent in cupcakes, I didn't do goody bags for her school party, and other than maybe stickers, I don't thikn she's gotten any goody bags from school parties either.

  • I asked the lady in DD's room first if it was ok because I was not sure. I made mini cupcakes and that was it. Personally I would not do a little goody bag, I think just a little treat is plenty.

  • I sent cupcakes both times.
  • I made mini cupcakes, fruit, chips and juice boxes. Unfortunately, he got a 104 fever at daycare that morning and didn't get to stay for his own party. I did not do gift bags or treats...in general, I think gift bags are stupid.

  • Last yr I made cupcakes. You take chocolate cake mix and add a can of pumpkin nothing else. Stir and bake. It makes a less sugar but super yummy and moist chocolate cupcake. 

    This year I am sending a little something for her actual birthday but we are inviting her whole class to our house for her actual party. I know when kids have birthdays they have done things like a snack but have never gotten anything sent home.

  • Just cupcakes and juice boxes both times. I don't think there's any need for a goody bag.

  • DD's birthday was the 25th.  They did cupcakes on the 15th for another child and on the 2nd and 3rd there were more birthdays.  I brought mini muffins for breakfast - they didn't need more sugar!

  • DD is in preschool, not traditional DC, so I'm not sure if that makes a difference, but she has never been sent home with a goody bag or gotten cupcakes, etc. When there's a birthday, as far as I know, the class sings to the birthday girl/boy and that's about it.

  • My daycare makes cupcakes for each child's birthday. ?I didn't send goody bags or anything, nor has any other parent. ?

    My dc provider makes a little cake or cupcakes for each child's birthday - its the activity of the day.  I haven't sent goody bags in for birthdays.  I did for V-day but I also knew that this was something the dcp usually did and she's short a kid and therefor short on cash.  It was just play doh and fruit snacks though - nothing too exciting.

  • OK. I actually meant a goody bag for snack time instead of cake or cupcakes.  Maybe I'll skip it altogether.  I'm not a baker.

  • I work FT, and although I throw DS a big bday party at home for friends/family, I don't send anything to daycare.  I just don't have time during the week to deal with remembering one more thing than usual.

    I thought about cupcakes but they're 2, do they really need sugar etc at this point?  I figure they throw enough tantrums without the sugar in them, that putting more into their little systems might just make the daycare ladies go nuts lol.
