I've seen the puffy paints done... but this is so much cuter! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-fun-baby-shower-activity#post-136859 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 11:01:35 +0000 HabesBabe 136859@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>OMG these are sooooo cute! A lot cuter than some of the horrid puffy paint designed onesies that I've seen (and done myself-- I am NOT an artist!). Wonder how I could mention this idea to my MIL without sounding like I want to take over... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-fun-baby-shower-activity#post-136851 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 10:57:19 +0000 Adira 136851@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: I love it!!! I think I might suggest this activity for my shower (WHEN I actually get pregnant). It's such a cute idea and now you have all these adorable items for your child that are essentially hand-made!! I LOVE that! But I suspect it probably works best with a smaller group (like 15 or less people), so I'll have to keep that in mind. Thank you so much for sharing this!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-fun-baby-shower-activity#post-136845 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 10:53:36 +0000 mediagirl 136845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: we had 11 people there. I would say the only thing we might have done differently is have one more ironing board and iron. That would have sped things up a bit. It took about an hour, give or take. The shower was three hours long - an hour to chat and eat, an hour for the activity and to mingle/continue eating and then an hour of chatting and present opening, along with cake (of course). :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-fun-baby-shower-activity#post-136842 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 10:51:34 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 136842@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That is a cute idea! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-fun-baby-shower-activity#post-136840 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 10:50:29 +0000 Adira 136840@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh my gosh! What a cute idea!! Out of curiosity, how many people were attending your shower? How long did this activity take? I'm wondering if this activity would be better with a smaller crowd, or if it doesn't matter? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-fun-baby-shower-activity#post-136836 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 10:48:17 +0000 mediagirl 136836@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I thought I would pass this on in case anyone has to come up with fun shower activities in the future.</p> <p>This past weekend was my baby shower. My friends stuck with my one request of no gross baby games. Instead, they came up with an activity for everyone to participate in. </p> <p>They purchased a bunch of white onesies, white burp cloths and different colored bibs. They brought a whole bunch of different fabrics and templates of characters like a dolphin, crab, fish, heart, etc. Each person traced their template of choice onto the fabric and then cut it out. Then they went to the ironing board and, using iron-on transfer paper, ironed their template onto a onesie, burp cloth or bib. It was great fun and gave everyone time to chat and get to know one another while doing the activity.</p> <p>My sister-in-law took everything home with her to sew around the finished product.</p> <p>Some of the many items that were created: <a href="http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g151/jillocb/BGH/IMG_1914.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g151/jillocb/BGH/IMG_1914.jpg</a><br /> <a href="http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g151/jillocb/BGH/IMG_1272.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g151/jillocb/BGH/IMG_1272.jpg</a><br /> <a href="http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g151/jillocb/BGH/IMG_1269.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g151/jillocb/BGH/IMG_1269.jpg</a> </p>
