Cute Crafts for Baby Showers
A baby shower is an exciting event for everyone involved, especially the mom-to-be. This time is one she sill want to remember for the rest of her life-and as an attendee at her baby shower, you can help to make this happen. One of the best parts of any baby shower is the crafts involved-they provide and excellent keepsake for the future mommy. The mementos from baby shower crafts do not just have to be for the future parents-they can also be welcomes for the little bundle of joy that has yet to arrive.
Permanent Pieces of Pregnancy
One special baby shower craft involves creating a plaster cast of the mom's pregnant tummy. This not only results in a tangible memory of pregnancy, but also in a memorable experience for the entire group! After the plaster cast dries, everyone at the baby shower who took part in the craft can sign the cast, leaving their congratulations and best wishes. You can even video tape the process, so that the event can be relived over and over again.
When completing this baby shower craft, make sure to be prepared for a mess! It is not uncommon for bits of plaster to get all over the place! Additionally, make sure to offer the expectant mother the option of taking a shower afterward. Because her stomach will need to be greased with Vaseline in order to ensure the plaster comes off smoothly, she will get really messy as well. Despite the mess, this a great craft for any baby shower!
Make Room for Baby
Other fun baby shower crafts can be helpful in decorating the baby's room. Why not have the baby shower guests paint a toy box for the baby? Another idea is for everyone to decorate a plain onesie or bib with fabric paint. Baby shower crafts like these are not only fun bonding experiences, but they also make great gifts for the baby!
Baby Love
Baby shower crafts have a dual purpose. They are great entertainment at any baby shower, and they leave long lasting memories for the shower's attendees and for the future mommy. Yet, that is not the only purpose they serve. When the baby finally does arrive, baby shower crafts are proof of the love that family and friends have to offer him or her. And after all, love was how it all began.
