Not only are babies fantastic for all there own snuggly reasons but also when there are babies due it means that it's time for the mama's to get together for some fun, food and presents. Ohhhhh how I love a baby shower.
(Baby's surname starts with a H so I whipped up a little softie.... I had a little accident - putting my finger through the flannellette when I was stuffing it so I added an 11th hour softie bandage)
Last week I helped out with a friends baby shower and we had an absolute blast!! Inspired by
We Heart Books I whipped up a baby fortune teller. This was such fun and after a bit of trial and user error it was a big hit.
(A breastfeeding apron for the mama... soft flannellette on the undersidegood for wrapping sleeping babies in or wiping little faces if need be.)
We also played the ever popular "peg game" where each person gets a peg and if you get caught saying the key word (baby) then the person catching you can take your peg.... the person with the most pegs at the end of the night wins!! Such a great ice breaker.
There was also baby charades with things like discovering leaking breasts in public, the post Ceasar shuffle, mastitis, burping baby, cuddling baby, feeding baby getting peed on at nappy change......
(the soon to be mama of 2 loves camo print so I whipped up a couple of spew rags to suit.)
Other faves were draw a baby on your head (place a piece of paper on top of your head and draw a baby - the expectant mama judges the winner), name that baby food, whats in the diaper (done with a variety of melted chocs in diapers). So much fun!!
I would love to hear your fave baby shower games, treats and tips.
;)
