BIRTHDAY CAKE COUNTDOWN

Make upcoming birthdays more fun and educational with a birthday countdown.

Your child will start 31 days before their birthday and count backwards until they reach day 1. Then on their birthday they will have a completed birthday cake to enjoy/hang up for their birthday celebration.

Print cake template on white cardstock. Copy image below or click here for PDf.

Review the numbers on the cake with your child. Having them identify the numbers or if younger you can. Have them start at 1 and count until 30. Then have them count by 5’s and 10’s.

Directions:

Have your child write their name and color the cake with crayons first. Then have them paint on top with watercolors. You can create patterns when coloring in/painting. Let dry once complete.

On each day of the countdown glue a pom pom on a number starting at 30 and ending at 1.

With the pom-poms you can create patterns, put them in the order of the rainbow (ROYGBIV), or just randomly put them on- whatever your child prefers!
