Baby Shower Activity: Make an ABC Book

on September 24, 2009 at 11:00 AM

I love baby showers, but sometimes the same old baby shower games can get a bit tedious. That's why I love this idea for a fun shower activity from My Right Brain (via Ohdeedoh): Have guests make an ABC book for baby.

It's a great, interactive ice-breaker for guests; plus, it doubles as a wonderful gift for both parents and baby.

Here's how to do it:

Supply guests with paper, as well as markers, crayons, pens, stickers, etc. for decorating.
Have each guest pick a letter of the alphabet and illustrate a page for the book.
After the party, bind the book and present it to Mom as a gift. My Right Brain has some great suggestions for how to bind the book.

Have you ever made an ABC book? What's your favorite baby shower activity?

About the author Kim Conte

has shoes that make people stop her on the street and ask "Where did you get those?" but it doesn't work for taxi cabs as she was hit by one ... and lived to tell the tale. She has more freckles than Lohan but way less attitude. And she's a fierce cook with tons of recipes to share -- and wishes she could share some with Bourdain.
