Hosting a baby shower is a wonderful way to celebrate the arrival of a little one, and finding fun, engaging activities can make it even more special. If you’re looking for creative ways to entertain your guests, here are five unique ideas—including one that features a fun colouring activity available in my Etsy shop!
1. Baby’s First Alphabet Colouring Activity
Make your baby shower interactive with a Baby’s First Alphabet Colouring Book! Each guest is given a letter to colour in, creating a unique keepsake for the baby’s nursery. You can turn this into a friendly competition by voting on the most creative or funniest artwork. At the end of the shower, the parents will have a heartfelt, handmade alphabet book as a lovely reminder of the day.
2. Virtual Baby Shower Time Capsule
Ask each guest to write a message, piece of advice, or prediction for the baby’s future. These can be written on printable ‘Dear Baby’ cards or recorded as short video clips if you’re hosting a virtual shower. Compile them into a digital scrapbook or a video montage for the parents to share with their child when they grow up—it’s a beautiful way to capture memories!
3. Build-a-Story Baby Book
Turn your guests into storytellers! Provide them with a printable fill-in-the-blanks story template, where they can create a fun, personalised baby book. Each guest adds a line or a page to the story, resulting in a collaborative and often hilarious creation. By the end of the shower, the parents will have a completely unique bedtime book for their little one.
4. Baby-Themed Mystery Box Challenge
Fill a ‘mystery box’ with baby-related items such as a dummy, teething toy, nappy cream, or baby socks. Blindfolded guests take turns reaching in and guessing what the items are by touch alone! This game is a great way to bring laughter to the party while testing how well guests know their baby essentials.
5. DIY Baby Vest Decorating Station
Set up a craft station with plain baby vests and fabric pens, iron-on patches, or even fabric paints. Guests can design a personalised vest for the baby, making for a fun and creative activity. The best part? The parents will receive a collection of adorable, one-of-a-kind outfits for their little one!
