Baby Shower Gifts
Giving baby shower gifts is a tradition dating back to the early 1900’s where friends and family would throw a “shower” in much the same way they would for a bridal shower; to “shower” the woman with gifts before her big day. In the early tradition, baby shower gifts were homemade by the guests.
Baby Shower Gifts
Baby shower gift ideas can be made easy by organizing around �baby time.� The idea is to assign each guest a certain “time” of day in the babies life; for example, story time, bath time bedtime, feeding time etc. the guests then bring items relating to that time including books, bottles blankets…whatever. This keeps the new mom from having duplicates of different things.

A fun kids craft is to make homemade cards for a special occasion. Cards can say so much and free cards that you design yourself are sometimes the best. Kids craft projects are a wonderful way for your child to expressive his or her creative side.
Homemade Cards
To begin this wonderful kids craft, trace your child�s hand on some construction paper. Cut it out and fold it between the middle and ring finger. This is also sign language for I love you! This will easily fit in most envelopes that you can purchase. Most discount and dollar stores have a variety of envelopes in many colors and textures. You can coordinate the colors with the construction paper to make it very appealing.
Write out the greeting inside the palm of the hand card and be sure to date it. This will make a lasting memory.
A variation of the homemade card is to find a favorite poem. Print it out on your computer using whatever creative paper you might have or can purchase. Trace your child�s hand on the paper and date it. You can also use ink or paint for the impression of the hand.
Frame this wonderful treasure and wrap it for mother�s day, Christmas, or any other holiday or occasion. For more treasures that you can have for that special occasion please visit us at www.treasureboxkids.com for all your child�s clothing needs.

Alphabet Game
The alphabet game is easy to convert to a baby shower game. How to play the alphabet game: Ask your guests to think of a word for each letter of the alphabet. You get to decide on the topics for this game: baby names from A � Z, baby equipment or pregnancy related.
Alphabet Game
Another version of playing baby alphabet is to prepare 26 index cards, one with each letter of the alphabet clearly marked on one side. Shuffle, then hold up the cards one at a time. The first guest to shout out a baby related word receives the card. The winner of the Alphabet Game is the one with the most cards at the end. You could easily play additional rounds with different subjects such as baby names, types of baby clothes, baby supplies, baby foods, children’s books, kids TV shows, etc.
