Celebrating Student Birthdays: Birthday Tub Fun!
Today I was sitting in my classroom making birthday gifts– I don’t usually do candy for birthdays– instead I give them something like a special pencil, bookmark, and birthday brag tag! I used to make bags like this:But after a few years I started making birthday cups that were always a huge hit!
Anyway, I realized I needed a place to store them. I feared if I put them in a shoe box on the shelf I would forget about them! So I found an empty ice cube tub and put the bags in there! They fit perfectly!
In case you’re wondering– the ice cube tub came from Walmart and cost around $1. The brand is “Mainstays” and it’s on the row with the dish drying racks.
I then decided I needed a cute label for my tub– and why not put student names and birthdays on the side as a reminder of their big days. So here is the end result: I left blank spaces just in case new students move in throughout the year– but I LOVE how it turned out. So bright and fun– and that confetti paper is one of my favorites!
Want to make your own “Birthday Tub” for your goodies? Hop on over to my store and check out my labels!
I’ve included editable PowerPoint and the PDF (if you just want to print and write in names). Click below to check them out!

I love this idea! So practical and such a timesaver!!
Thank you! I'm hoping it'll help me keep track of birthdays better this year!
I am so bad at remembering student birthdays! This is a perfect idea to help me be more prepared for them! Thanks for sharing.
Happy to help! 🙂
