Here's how we did it:<br /> We started with 3 volunteers. We had them examine the baby item (also showed it to the rest of the room, but the 3 volunteers got to hold it up close) and make their guess as to what it does. We had them write their guess down rather than saying it so if one of them got it right we could read it last. After each baby item the three people each picked a person to take their place as the guesser. Each person in the room got to guess at least once. Most of the items really stumped everyone, but there were enough right guesses to keep the game interesting. We spent an hour doing this game!</p> <p>Here were the items:<br /> peepee teepee<br /> cup catcher<br /> flower attachment for the boon grass drying rack<br /> nose frida snot sucker<br /> baby bum diaper cream applicator<br /> mesh feeder<br /> windi stix<br /> nipple shield<br /> boogie scraper<br /> breast ice/heat pack<br /> formula stirrer<br /> teething cracker holder (made by boon)<br /> boon squirt spoon </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideas-needed-weird-baby-gadgets#post-2735637 Sat, 13 May 2017 17:22:57 +0000 nana87 2735637@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Other breastfeeding stuff like soothies, lanolin, a nipple latch assist?

Thank you!</p> <p>@T.H.O.U.: It's a work baby shower so there will be lots of people in attendance who are unfamiliar with babies. I know who will have the most silly and fun responses so I plan to call on those people one by one to examine an item and make a guess.<br /> I'll follow up with how I think it went. The shower is in two weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideas-needed-weird-baby-gadgets#post-2735261 Fri, 12 May 2017 10:17:12 +0000 MrsLonghorn 2735261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>oxo grape cutter<br /> tortle newborn hat (head repositioning beanie) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideas-needed-weird-baby-gadgets#post-2735212 Fri, 12 May 2017 09:19:15 +0000 Raspberry 2735212@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cloth diaper cover<br /> Scratch mitts<br /> Cradle cap brush </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideas-needed-weird-baby-gadgets#post-2735178 Fri, 12 May 2017 08:47:05 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2735178@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about those inflatable ring things that the baby can float in water with it around their neck? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideas-needed-weird-baby-gadgets#post-2735176 Fri, 12 May 2017 08:39:08 +0000 Foodnerd81 2735176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SteelerGirl: what a fun game! </p> <p>I was going to suggest windi as well.<br /> Maybe that visor for keeping water out of baby's eyes in the tub?<br /> Marpac dohm sound machine looks sort of space agey.<br /> Noggin nest </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideas-needed-weird-baby-gadgets#post-2735166 Fri, 12 May 2017 08:28:55 +0000 Anya 2735166@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: yes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideas-needed-weird-baby-gadgets#post-2735162 Fri, 12 May 2017 08:27:01 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2735162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What a fun baby game! </p> <p>How are you doing it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideas-needed-weird-baby-gadgets#post-2735160 Fri, 12 May 2017 08:25:42 +0000 Mamaof2 2735160@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anya: is that to apply diaper cream??
