The beauty of this entry in the Baby Einstein catalog is its integration of puppets, toys, and live farm footage to help babies and toddlers make the connection between their plastic play sets and stuffed animals with images of a real farm. As always, the spoken language is minimal, omitting the pesky verbs and adjectives that would confuse the very young. The 30-minute main program is divided int…
The baby-to-toddler set gets an expedition through a variety of animal habitats across the planet in this installment of the Baby Einstein series. Despite the title, there is no real biblical connection to the material other than Noah’s Ark toys and a few paintings (minus Noah and family). The subtitle “Animal Expedition” is far more accurate, as the 38-minute program takes the youngsters through …
Your guests will have a blast playing BINGO while the mommy-to-be opens her presents.
Directions: When mommy opens a gift, the guest check their Baby BINGO card for the item. If you have the item, place a small diaper pin (or whatever you have to use) on that item. When you get a Baby BINGO you must yell “Baby BINGO”. If you just yell BINGO, you must take off one of your diaper pins on your Baby Bingo. Then continue playing. Whoever gets a Baby Bingo first wins.
Celebrity Baby Match
Who doesn’t love some celebrity gossip? This will be a hit at the baby shower.

Unscramble the Words
Challenge your guests to unscramble words that have to do with childbirth and babies.
Directions: The first to correctly unscramble or the person who correctly unscramble the most within a time limit wins. (ex: sitbenas is bassinet and peidar is diaper).
Mommy-to-be Pregnancy Trivia
This is supposed to be all about Mommy and her pregnancy. Let’s test everyone to see who has been the best friend or family member.
Directions: Make a list of questions about the mom’s pregnancy. Ask the guest the questions first and have them write their answers down. Then ask the mom-to-be the questions and as she answers everyone can check their answers. Whoever gets the most right wins. (ex. When did you find out you were pregnant?)
Guess the Girth
Now don’t be shy. It’s time to guess momma’s size. This is a baby shower game favorite.
Directions: Ask guests to cut a length of string that they think will stretch around the future mom’s belly. After everyone has had a turn, the mother-to-be measures and cuts a string that fits her belly. Compare her string to the pieces of string from each guest. The person who is closest wins. You’ll be amazed at what people’s estimates are. It’s a great icebreaker and always good for some laughs.
Some People Never Change
Guess the characteristics of the parents-to-be when they were babies.
Directions: Ask the grandparents to write down what the parents were like as babies (ex. time of birth, height, weight, first tooth, first smile, age when toilet-trained, and early signs of their personality. Based on that information, make up a mommy or daddy quiz. The person with the most correct answers wins a prize.
My Water Broke
Just sit back and wait.

Who doesn’t love to play house?
Directions: Get a life-size baby doll, receiving blanket, cloth diaper, diaper wrap, and onesie. Guests take turns trying dressing the baby. Time each guest — the one who does it fastest wins.
Diaper Bag Memory Game
One of those memory games you add onto the list until it becomes too long to remember.
Directions: The first player starts by saying the name of an item that would normally be found in a diaper bag. The second player lists that item plus one of their own. Each subsequent person must list everything already mentioned, in the proper order, and then add one more item. If you forget an item or list them out of order, you’re “out.” The last person still in the game is the winner.
Guess the Baby Food
Sweet Potatoes, Green Beans, Peaches, and more.
Directions: Buy six to eight jars of baby food, all different flavors, and enough plastic spoons for all of the guests. Remove the labels from the jars and number them. At the shower, have everyone taste each jar and write down what kind of food they think it is, without letting fellow guests see their answers. Whoever gets the most right wins a prize.
Don’t Say “Baby”
Imaging a bunch of women at a baby shower, this can be hard.
Directions: Give every guest a clothespin to attach to her clothing and wear during the shower. Tell everyone not to say the word “baby” for the rest of the shower.

Does anyone have any creative ideas for baby shower games?
Hello!
Im hosting a baby shower in the next week, and was wondering if anyone has any good ideas for baby shower games. The mom has already had the baby.. ( a girl ) and I was looking for some creative games or activities. The baby shower will be held indoors due to poor weather. Also if anyone has any cool recipe ideas that would be appreciated aswell. Thanx! =)
I have a HUGE family and it seems like i attend at-least 2 baby showers a year lol but some of the games we found fun was the baby diaper game where u put different baby foods (some people use melted candy bars) into different diapers marked with a marker 1-however many different kinds of food (or candy) u have, and then u pass them around the room, each person gets a popsicle stick, they can smell, look, or even use their own popsicle stick to taste, and the person who can identify the most foods (or candy) correctly wins, its really funny to watch everyone sniff and examine the diapers depending on the crowd your entertaining, this could be fun, if your crowd is more “uptight” then u could go with a less “gross” game such as the then and now game, where you get a baby and a present picture of different family and friends and you copy the pictures (so you don’t ruin the original and can return it if need be) and put them on a poster board all scrambled up, then the guests have to determine which baby pictures are which person, or you can do the same thing just with mother and baby where you get the baby pictures and a picture of the mom and they identify which baby belongs to which parent, when using the mother and baby pictures it may take longer because u can have 2 or more different baby’s that could belong to the same mother, anyways the person to correctly identify the most matches wins. I’m not sure if either of these games are games that you or your crowd would enjoy but i personally found both to be entertaining.
