We found all of the best store bought birthday treats for school that every kid will be excited to share with their classmates!
Hi friends,
Last year my daughters birthday fell on a school day and she was so excited!
But, aren’t most kids bummed when they have to go to school on their birthday?
Nope. Not our kids!
We always do little things to make our kiddos birthday special at school like getting a “birthday boy/girl” pin to proudly wear all day, packing a special birthday lunch, etc!
Luckily, there are tons of fun ways to celebrate your kids birthday in school both big and small!
One popular way to celebrate your childs’ birthday at school is by bringing in a small treat to share with the entire class!
This post is all about store bought birthday treats for school!
Classroom Birthday Treats
Let’s get into all the different kinds of treats you can bring in for your little ones class!
What is the best birthday treat to bring to school?
The best birthday treat to bring to school are ones that are store bought, inexpensive, fun and (if needed) allergy friendly.
Unfortunately, gone are the days where mom could bake a few cookies at home to be sent into school the next day.
Chances are your school has some regulations you’ll need to follow!
One of the rules that seem to be standard for almost any school is that the birthday treats you bring in must be store bought! No more homemade goodies.
In fact, you may be able to find outlined guidelines by searching for your school districts Wellness Policy. If not, I always encourage you to reach out to your child’s school directly.
Easy Birthday Treats for School
There are tons of different types of treats you can send into school to celebrate your childs birthday!
The easiest birthday treats for school are anything that’s store bought, individually wrapped and can be purchased in bulk.
All of the treats listed in this post meet at least one, if not all, of those requirements! Plus, as an added bonus, they’re all available to order on Amazon!
Pro tip: Reach out in advance and ask if you’re allowed to have the treats delivered straight to your kids school!
This will save you time by not only allowing you to skip a trip to the store but you also won’t have to bring the treats to the school yourself. A total game changer!
