If it's a boy, her reaction is bound to be dramatic and priceless 😝</p> <p>@delight: we have books that are gender soecific as to the older sibling, but I'll have to pay more attention to the sec of the babies in them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gender-reveal-for-siblings-to-be#post-2516264 Tue, 05 Apr 2016 14:51:01 +0000 caterw 2516264@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cute ideas!! I need to figure out something fun for DD to announce if she is getting a sister or (especially) a brother. She is absolutely certain that the baby is a girl, to the point where DH and I refer to the new baby as she. Hopefully a fun cupcake or little gift will help her get excited about a baby boy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gender-reveal-for-siblings-to-be#post-2513909 Sun, 03 Apr 2016 06:54:46 +0000 delight 2513909@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love the cupcake ideas but I have another idea. Are your girls into books? I'm planning on getting DD a book about bringing home a baby brother or sister. There are lots of them out there. Then we will take some pictures of her "reading" it to announce gender to our family. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gender-reveal-for-siblings-to-be#post-2513890 Sun, 03 Apr 2016 00:15:51 +0000 lamariniere 2513890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Someone I know on FB had two girls about the same ages as your DDs and they made a video of them each opening a present that had blue teddy bears inside. It was really cute to see their reactions. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gender-reveal-for-siblings-to-be#post-2513489 Sat, 02 Apr 2016 09:00:23 +0000 PinkElephant 2513489@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@birdofafeather: @MrsSRS: my girls will never turn down cupcakes, and cupcakes filled with M&amp;Ms would absolutely blow their minds. I should go buy some leftover Easter M&amp;ms to have the pastels colors on hand. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gender-reveal-for-siblings-to-be#post-2513470 Sat, 02 Apr 2016 07:51:19 +0000 MrsSRS 2513470@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Make some cupcakes, cut out the center, fill with pink or blue m&amp;ms, put a bit of the cake on as a lid and hide with frosting! Although I really like the doll idea. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gender-reveal-for-siblings-to-be#post-2513429 Sat, 02 Apr 2016 01:02:29 +0000 birdofafeather 2513429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PinkElephant: we bit into cupcakes! DD1 was only 2y4m but i figured, what's not to like about cupcakes? :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gender-reveal-for-siblings-to-be#post-2513403 Fri, 01 Apr 2016 23:09:00 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2513403@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know a family that did a silly string fight! But that may not be appropriate for your youngest, just depends on her personality! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gender-reveal-for-siblings-to-be#post-2513340 Fri, 01 Apr 2016 20:31:55 +0000 PinkElephant 2513340@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Tiger: That'd actually be very appropriate, since she's been asking me for a baby (human, not doll) recently! I so don't want any more baby dolls in to add to our collection of approximately one zillion, but I could make an exception for this really cute idea - and it might help my two year old, who is a bit more literal and probably doesn't get that blue *something* = boy, but could recognize a boy baby doll as such. </p> <p>Thanks! Open to other suggestions, too - I expect this to be our last baby so we'll probably make a huge big deal of everything :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gender-reveal-for-siblings-to-be#post-2513335 Fri, 01 Apr 2016 20:23:35 +0000 Mrs. Tiger 2513335@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about opening up a boy or girl baby doll? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gender-reveal-for-siblings-to-be#post-2513332 Fri, 01 Apr 2016 20:22:12 +0000 PinkElephant 2513332@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Has anyone done a special "gender reveal" specifically geared towards the siblings-to-be? The older of my two daughters is nearly four, and I think she'd really "get" it (we'd love to film her reaction to finding out whether she's getting a brother or a sister)....the younger doesn't really understand boys/girls, but will surely get caught up in the excitement as well.</p> <p>I've seen people wrap boy/girl outfits, tint the icing inside a cake (we tried to do this for DD2, but the bakery messed up!), open a box of pink/blue balloons.....but I'd love to do something special just for the girls. I figure you all are so creative there are bound to be some great ideas floating around! :heart: </p>
