Rubber Ducky Baby Shower
Hold an adorable rubber ducky baby shower as a perfect theme choice for those who do not know the babys gender. A rubber ducky baby shower is a neutral theme that fits for both boys and girls. If you do know the babys gender you can combine yellow with a girl or boyish color to enhance the decorations.
Rubber Ducky Baby Shower
If your rubber ducky shower is a duck in a bathtub theme then combine yellow with blue colors (to simulate water). Use wash bin or tub centerpieces with water and have actual rubber ducks floating in it (mom can use these later as the child grows older). Attach helium balloons to each individual rubber ducky for room decorations. Expand your rubber ducky shower theme by including Donald Duck for a boy baby shower or Daisy Duck for a girl.

Bead Crafts
Use bead crafts to make these adorable bead buddies. Bead crafts can be used to make necklaces, bracelets, key chains, zipper pulls or backpack accessories. Bead buddies are unique characters made from different sized beads and charms. Bead buddies are wearable fun characters that can be made as a rainy day craft or as a birthday party activity. Vary the bead patterns to make unique bead buddy designs.
Bead Crafts
- To make one, first fold a 10-inch piece of 24-gauge wire in half, twisting a loop in the middle for a hanger. Thread beads and charms onto both sections at the same time for a head and body, then separate the sections and add more beads and charms to each one to create the legs. Trim the ends, if needed, then curl them with jewelry pliers to keep the beads in place. For arms, twist a 4-inch piece of wire around the body, just below the head. Thread on beads, then trim and curl the wire ends. Finally, string the bead buddy onto a chain for a necklace.
- Use different sized beads for head, torso, arms and legs to create a different bead buddy design.

LEGO Birthday
Hold a LEGO Birthday for a fun-filled birthday party idea. A LEGO birthday works for children of any age and any gender. Younger children should use the larger LEGO pieces to keep the party safe. A jar filled with LEGO pieces makes for a simple activity prize.
LEDO Birthday
Make a LEGO birthday cake by dividing the batter between square/rectangle pans and cupcake tins. Mount the cupcakes upside down on the square/rectangle pieces to create LEGO “studs” (the connecting bumps on Lego pieces). Frost with brightly colored frosting similar to LEGO pieces.
The Lego birthday party wouldn’t be complete without activities, so have guests build a sky-high Lego tower. Give each child a small pile of LEGO bricks and have them sit in a circle on the floor. Put one brick in the middle. Going around the circle, have each child add one piece from their pile to the top of the growing tower. The trick is to see how high they can build it before it topples over.
