You will want to use the crayons or markers to write the numbers one through ten on each cake, as well as making the cakes decorative. Next attach Velcro to the top of each cake. You will need one piece of Velcro for each number as written on the cakes, for example the cake with the number five will need five pieces of Velcro. Next cut-out 55 candle shapes, and attach a piece of Velcro to them as well. Mount each birthday cake on your bulletin board.
Children play by placing the appropriate number of candles on each cake.
Make twenty-seven round circles on the poster board, using the tape as your stencil for making the circles. Draw a happy caterpillar face on one circle and write one letter on each consecutive circle until you have used all circles. Once this is complete, attach a piece of Velcro to the back of each circle. Finally affix the caterpillar face at one end of the bulletin board, and line-up 26 pieces of Velcro behind the caterpillar face. Inc. All rights reserved.
