Classic Toys on a Shelf Under Birthday Fun

A row of classic toys sits on a striped shelf beneath the words Birthday Fun, which are written in bold block letters between two curly braces filled with little flowers. On the left is a big ball with curved stripes wrapped around it. Next to it, a rag doll with ruffled hair, round eyes, a triangle nose, and circle cheeks sits with her legs stretched out in striped stockings. Behind her is a rocking horse with a saddle, a bridle, and a curved rocker base. A toy sailboat with a small flag stands on the right, and a wooden alphabet block showing the number 2 and the letter A rests in front of it. Try coloring the ball in rainbow bands, then let kids pick bright colors for the doll's dress. The page also works well for a quick talk about favorite birthday toys, and the flowers in the braces are great for small crayon tips or colored pencils.
