Birthday snacks at daycare?

kms34 · July 2011

Do you send snacks/treats to daycare with your kids for their birthday? I just thought about this and should really get on it since they would have to go Friday

I was just thinking Archer Farms fruit leather or maybe Annie's fruit snacks.

It used to happen fairly frequently at our old daycare. It doesn't happen at all at the new one. I lean toward no, simply because most of the time it was crap my kids couldn't eat, so all it did was make them cry when I took it away.

We've been making blueberry muffins each year for Owen's birthday treats at school. They're sweet but better not as bad as candy and crap. No frosting either.

Yeah, I can't bake anything b/c Evan can't have much dairy or any eggs....and I haven't quite figured out the tricks with egg replacer yet. I know he can have (and loves) fruit leather and he's the only one with food issues. He's never had fruit snacks but I hear Annie's are safe

We made a trail mix of sorts for Delaney's birthday. We go to a small in home daycare with no kids will allergies, so we were able to make something. We just threw together some Cheerios, Rasins, small crackers etc. because at that time D was just starting on table food. It wasn't full of sugar and easy for our DCP to serve!

And here I come, the mom you all can't stand.....In the past I've had the kids bring cake pops, donuts, cookies, to name a few, for their birthday snack

I just make sure to steer clear of nuts due to a peanut allergy at daycare. No other allergies or dietary concerns with any of the other kids. And I make sure it's nothing messy, because I want my dcp to still like me. Glare on....

Yes Our daycare lady provides all of thee above for birthdays at her house. Not all at once....that I know of.

Depending on your dcp, you may have to have it be store bought. It sounds like alot of dcp's are pretty lax about that, but I know our center has it right in their manual - nothing with nuts and has to be store bought.

When I worked in daycare, we had several parents who brought treats for the teachers (cookies, cupcakes, something unhealthy), and then brought cheerios or something "safe" for younger kids to try eating.

I've done donuts and oreo cookies. This year we will probably do a small treat, but since Avery goes to a daycare center I was thinking of hiring a puppeteer or magician or face painter to come to daycare as a special treat and skipping a big party. Mess stays out of my home and lots of kids at daycare can enjoy. I would just take an hour off work to participate.

We do treats. I don't believe any of the daycare kids have allergies. I did cake pops last year.

I think the fruit treats are a great idea!
