Birthday Poems for Kids

Birthday Poem Scroll

Birthday poem scrolls are a lovely and simple way to share a birthday message. Buy paper printed in the birthday theme, write or type the poem, and wrap with a ribbon or cord. Then have an elaborate meeting where you present the scroll to the birthday child. If you prefer, use the scroll as a birthday card or gift tag. This idea works especially well with a princess or other royal birthday party.

Birthday Poem in a Bottle

We've all heard of a message in a bottle. Well, how about a birthday poem in a bottle? Appropriate corked bottles are available at craft stores and online. Just write or type the birthday poem on a piece of paper, drop it inside, and cork the bottle. Then, decorate the bottle with ribbons, lace, beads, or paint. This idea works nicely with nautical themed parties such as:

• Beach
• Ocean
• Pirate
• Mermaid
• Survivor
• Finding Nemo
• SpongeBob SquarePants

Engraved Birthday Poem

Jewelry is yet another option for birthday poems for kids. Buy an ID bracelet, pendant, or dog tag and have the birthday poem engraved on the front. For this idea to work, you need to select a very short poem or a large piece of jewelry.

Things Remembered offers an assortment of items that can be engraved, including:

• Trinket Boxes
• Dog Tags
• Silver Frames
• Silver Photo Albums
• Lockets
• Bracelets

Talking Toys

Yet another way to share birthday poems with kids is through talking toys. To do this, buy a recordable stuffed animal and record the birthday poem. That way, the birthday child can hear your voice delivering the birthday message all year long!

Connect With Kids sells recordable stuffed bears and dogs. They also offer some rather unusual selections, such as pigs, otters, lambs, wolves, and bison. Connect With Kids even offers a special service allowing you to prerecord your message and have it delivered directly to the recipient.

Birthday Poems for Kids

Now that you've decided how you will present your birthday poem, which poem will you choose? Birthday poems for kids do not need to be fancy; in fact, simple is often better. Many children love silly, rhyming poems. Others prefer something sweet and from the heart. You know your child best and you know the type of sentiment to use.

Write Your Own

The most personalized birthday poem is the one you write yourself. Don't worry if you are not particularly creative or a skilled writer. For this project, you don't need to be. Just think about your child and use words that are special to her. Some questions to get you started:

• What does your child like to do?
• What is her dream?
• What is her nickname?
• What is she proud of?
• What is a treasured memory?
• What do the two of you do together?
• What is your child's best quality?
• What does she do when she's being silly?

Use these questions as a jumping off point for your poem. Again, don't worry if it's not ready for the best-seller list. Your child will love the poem because you took the time to write it specifically for her.

Examples of Birthday Poems

• Here's a little poem using a child's nickname:

Hanani-Banani, you're the one I love

Hanani-Banani, sent from up above!

You are the gift God gave to me

And I'll love you for eternity!
