Insects for Kids Booklet

I guess I didn’t understand an obsession with bugs until I had boys. Not that girls can’t appreciate bugs, they just didn’t. Elijah, my third child, spends a lot of time in mulch with his construction set looking for bugs to scoot along.

Identify parts of a bug, count the number of bugs on a page, and draw your own bug in this observation journal for kids

Save this list of twenty baby shower games. These baby shower games printables are free. Activities the mom-to-be, guests, and you will actually enjoy!

Baby Shower Games Printables

I have five kids. With my five kids, I only had two baby showers. Additionally, I have not attended a baby shower in years. Well, that isn’t true. I went to one about two years ago, and I was out out of place because it has been so long. So research had to be done to find you all the best.

In my discovery for this post, this is what I learned. The internet does not lack baby shower games. You guys, there are 100s. Additionally, each game has about a dozen versions and is found on about another 1,000 blogs. So I did my good duty for you all and put together the best baby shower games that won’t throw you into an instant snooze. If I found the game multiple places, I found what I thought was the best version. Additionally, all these games offer printables. Free printables. You’re welcome (wink!)… and congrats to the happy parents!

Take a look! We have more Tips for Throwing a Baby Shower including recipes and more baby game ideas. Also, these Baby Milestone Monthly Printables are adorable for photographing a baby’s age. Download this freebie for yourself or print as a shower gift with an 8×10 frame.

Also print our Six Baby Shower Games!

Mystery Baby Bags

Put 10 baby items into small paper bags and staple them closed. Number each bag from 1 to 10. Give each guest a sheet of paper and a pencil. Pass the bags out. Without opening the bag, the guests try to figure out what baby item is inside. Once everyone has made a guess for each bag, the mom-to-be opens the bags and reveals what is inside. The person who guesses the most mystery baby items wins.

Name That Baby Tune

Make a playlist of songs with the word “baby” in them. Give each guest a piece of paper and a pencil. Play one song at a time for 30 seconds. Have everyone write down the name of the song (or the next line of the song). The person with the most correct wins.

Baby Animal Game

Give each guest a paper with a list of animals. Set a timer and have them write the names of the animals’ babies next to the parent. You can also have the baby animals’ names on the top of the page and have them guess which animal belongs to which. Some ideas: wombat/joey, turtle/hatchling, swan/cygnet, skunk/kit, rabbit/bunny, porpoise/calf, porcupine/porcupette, penguin/chick, otter/whelp, moose/calf, monkey/infant.

The Baby Name Game

Give each guest a paper and pencil. Write the initials of the expectant parents on each piece of paper. Set a timer for 4-5 minutes and have the guests write as many baby names they can think of for each initial. The person who comes up with the most names total wins.

Over/Under Baby Shower Game

Find out facts about the parents-to-be that involve numbers. For example, how many kids do they want to have? How many siblings does dad have? How many broken bones has mom had? How many names are they choosing from for the baby? Then make up a number either over, under or right on for each question. Write out the facts with the numbers you assigned and have each guest write Over, Under or Right On for each fact. For example, “Jack and Diane want 3 kids.” (The real answer is 2…so anyone who guesses Under gets that answer correct).

Diaper Bag Detective

Choose 10-12 items that you might find in a diaper bag (throw in a few funny things). Put the items on a table or tray and cover them with a baby blanket or tablecloth. Give each guest a piece of paper with numbers 1-12 written down the side and something to write with. Set a timer for 1 minute. Uncover the tray and let the guests look (without writing) and try to memorize what’s “in the diaper bag.” After the timer goes off, recover the items. Each person tries to remember and write down as many items as possible. The person who remembers the most items correctly wins.

Print Our Six Baby Shower Games Printable

Baby Shower Party Games Printables

Baby Shower Taboo from Fun Squared. Divide the guests into two teams and have someone draw a card. She needs to get her team to say the word at the top of the card, but she can’t say the 5 words below it as she describes.

Words for the Wee Hours from Happy Home Fairy. I was so happy to stumble upon this printable. Julie is a friend of mine for 20 years (where does time go) and she has some amazing printables. Print these Words for the Wee Hours. Challenge shower guests to make their own, but you can display yours on a clothes line with clothes pins. Vote on the funniest sayings or the phrases that make mom laugh the most. Now I am dying for a friend to have a baby so I can gift these messages.

Name that Baby from DIY Network and TomKat Studio. Have each guest bring a baby photo of themselves. Post the photos on a board along with a printed number. Throughout the shower, guests can study the board and take a guess at who is in each photo. Guest with the most correct guesses wins. Up to 12 guests.

The Price is Right from Tula Mama. Set up a table with the items listed on this sheet. Have guests fill out their card with their best guesses for the price of each item. The person with the closest price of each item scores one point. The guest with the most points wins a prize.

He Said, She Said from Unoriginal Mom. Just like the bridal shower game, is this fact about mommy or daddy. Pick up the free printable lips and mustache as well as the header for the game. But personalize for yourself in a Word Document.

How Sweet It Is from Lil Luna. Fill out the matching pregnancy term to the candy bar. For example, girls name would be Baby Ruth. Have a basket of candy bars mentioned in the game. Most likely, everyone will have these answers right, so give he bar to who shares the answer with the group when going over results.

Baby ABCs from PJs and Paint. Ready, set, go. You are timed trying find a baby related item that begins with each letter. If there are repeat letters (like two people choose diapers for D) a point is not awarded. Person with the most points at the end wins. Make sure your words are unique and baby related!

What’s in your Phone from Inspiration Made Simple. It’s basically the same concept of “What’s in your Purse?” but baby shower edition. Each participant earns points for the item that they have in their phone. Things like having the Pinterest app or having the baby shower in your calendar.

Pass the Prize from Tula Mama. Similar to pass the present, start the game off with one person. Normally the baby’s mama! Mama has to pass the gift off to someone who matches the description in the line of the poem. Keep passing the gift with each line of the poem until the final line of the poem is read.

Celebrity Baby Names from For the Love of George. See who knows US Weekly best with this parents to celebrity baby name match.

Children’s Book Emoji Pictionary from Sugar and Soul. Ooohh, this one is a challenge. Identify the children’s book from the emoji given. Person with the most number of books right at the end, wins.

What’s In Your Purse from Inspiration Made Simple. Similar to what’s in your phone game, gain points for the odd things you might find in your bag… Granola bar? Hammer? Photo of the kids?

Baby Jeopardy from Tula Mama. I will take “Nursery Rhymes for 300, Alex!” Play everyone’s favorite television game, the game of Jeopardy with all things fitting for a baby!

Name that Tune from Play, Party, Plan. Download this list of 50 songs with the word baby in the title ranging from Justin Bieber to The Beatles. See who gets the most songs right, first.

Name that Artist from Play, Party Plan. Contrary, as if at a poetry reading, read the lyrics to songs and see how many people can guess the artist. “They say were young and we don’t know, we won’t find out until we grow…” – Name that artist!

Match the Baby and Mama from Hey, Let’s Make Stuff. Match the mama to her baby! This animal mother and baby matching game is both challenging and fun.

How Long is Each Animal Pregnant from Paper Trail Design. Guess the gestation period for each animal; a fun baby shower game that is easy to pull of and isn’t overly annoying.

Baby Scavenger Hunt from Plan the Perfect Baby Shower. Riddles and rhymes, the race is on to score the prize! Follow these baby related clues in this baby shower game.

Baby Trait from Sugar and Charm. What will baby look like? Will his/her eyes resemble mom or dad? How about their hair color. Everyone shares their guess and at the end the mother to be shares hers. Whoever matches with the mom most, wins!

Wishes for Baby from Lauren Makes. Maybe not a game but a very good way to send off the baby and mother to be. These wishes for baby can be laminated and binded for the parents and child to keep forever! If laminating, print on cardstock.

These Baby Milestone Monthly Printables are adorable for photographing a baby’s age. Download this freebie for yourself or print as a shower gift with an 8×10 frame.

With all five of my kids, I have done monthly photos in a chair since they were born. In fact, just four months ago I took my last set of monthly photos for the twins – where does time go? It was shocking to me that I would no longer be taking one of these photos again. I calculated how much I spent on these age stickers and decided I wanted to give you all a more frugal option for monthly milestones.

Baby Milestone Monthly Printables

We put together two sets of monthly printables for your baby – one pink and one blue so you can use it for your boy or girl. These printables are on 8.5 x 11 paper so you can frame each month in an 8×10 frame. You can print at home or send to Staples to save some money on ink. Staples in incredibly affordable, more on that below.

Shower Gift Idea

Find the most adorable 8×10 frame (I love this one) and gift these printables to a mother for a baby shower! You can have them made an an office store. When the mother is done with the frame for taking photos, she can use the frame for a picture of her baby’s first year.

April 10, 2019 by FCL Filed Under: Amazon, Baby, Online Shopping Leave a Comment

Expecting a baby and looking for a good diaper bag? Or, are you shopping for a baby shower gift that any new mom will love? We have a list of some of the Best Selling Diaper Bags on Amazon for you.

I love that this HaloVa Diaper Bag has a really neat style in that it can be carried as a backpack or a handbag. This the first time I’ve seen a bag like this, and I really like it. This bag has a large main compartment, and separate storage pockets include insulated pockets and a wet clothes pocket.

If style is high up on your list with function for a diaper bag, you’ll love the Itzy Ritzy Diaper Bag Backpack. This backpack has 17 pockets – 10 internal and 7 external – including two insulated bottle pockets, a felt-lined valuables pocket and an easy-access “parent pocket” to keep mom and dad’s essentials within reach.

This sleek Skip Hop Chelsea Downtown Chic Diaper Backpack is the perfect option if you want a classy looking bag. It has multiple compartments – including side bottle pockets and a zippered front flap – that give you endless ways to organize your necessities.

I love the gray color on this RUVALINO Multifunction Travel Backpack. In addition to having pockets to hold everything your baby needs, this bag also has a padded laptop pocket, mesh pocket organizers and other organization essentials. You could totally use this backpack after your diaper bag days are over!

I had this Skip Hop Messenger Diaper Bag With Matching Changing Pad, and I loved it. There was room for everything I needed and then some. This bag has 18 total pockets including two mesh side bottles, front zip pocket, easy access pocket and machine washable cushioned changing pad.

I am obsessed with this SoHo Diaper Bag Grand Central Station 7 Piece Set. I love the striped pattern, and this set has every bag you could possibly need! You’ll get a roomy diaper bag, a small purse, a padded changing station, two accessory cases for smaller items, an insulated zippered bottle bag that fits most bottle sizes and a pair of grips stroller attachments.

Memorable Prom Tips – create the ultimate night with these tips from beauty, to decorations, etiquette, photos, style and more. Make it a night to remember, not to regret!

22 Memorable Prom Tips

Prom night can be one of the most fun and memorable events in your high school career. Make sure, on this night, you are bold and confident. It’s okay to go without a date. It’s okay to go with a date. It’s okay to do the asking, boys don’t always have to ask and why not be in charge of who you want to go to prom with? You can even make it a night to remember with your best girlfriends.

Have fun. Your biggest and best high school memories are going to be small moments. That doesn’t mean this big night can’t have smaller events. You aren’t going to remember the entire night but you will have a set of experiences that you file away and pull up later. Do that sober and excited on juice, apple juice. Be confident, hold a smile, and when something goes wrong, embrace that moment, laugh, and move on. How you handle each smaller moment determines how the bigger night goes.

Are you worried about prom going off without a hitch? We got you covered! While hiccups always happen, yes – expect the unexpected – we have tips and tricks to help you have the most memorable prom night.

Make it a night to remember, not to regret!

Keep that hair in place! Hold up that hair with this beauty hack. Spray your bobby pins with hair spray before placing them in your hair. This will help with the hold.

Don’t blow the budget. Save money when it comes to the makeup. Kara Larkin Llifestyle has a great list of professional vs drug store makeup swaps still giving you a million dollar look!

Chicks before…. ah forget it. Take photos with your besties. While a boyfriend or prom date might be temporary, many of the friendships will hold strong through the ages – from college, to weddings, to babies and more. Grab some photos with your best girl friends (without the guy!) Barefoot Blonde has an incredible, editorial friend-shoot for some prom photo inspiration! Photography by Stephanie Sunderland.

Hold them up. No more pulling up on that strapless bra. A bra strap wrapped around your torso below your strapless bra will help keep your strapless bra in place and free from slipping! Genius. Thanks PureWow!

Don’t blink! Do your eye shadow before doing your foundation. Girl with Glam shows you how to make the most perfect winged eyeliner using tape – who would have guessed?! Practice a few times before the big night!

Talk with your hands. While a mani and pedi are nice, don’t break the bank on expensive acrylic nails. There are so many press on nails like these Ombre Glitter Press-On Nails under $5 from Forever21. There are 24 nails total, so just put a few extra in your purse should you loose one in the evening.

Walk on red; not the red carpet. Get designer looking shoes with red paint shoe bottom coat and restorer. I suggest stretching your shoes (see our tip below) and rubbing sandpaper to the bottoms (to prevent slippage) before painting them!

Get organized. Carry all that you need with help from the Anatomy of a Prom Clutch from My School Outfits. Have a perfume sample, your lipstick, safety pins, and blotting paper sheets!

Big girls don’t cry. Apply two coats of mascara. Layer waterproof mascara on top of your regular formula to make your mascara last longer. Our favorite mascara is L’Oreal Voluminous Mascara.

Dance in comfort. Get fancy with this bedazzled, glittery Converse tutorial from Love Maegan (website down)

Pin it correctly. Ladies, watch this video on how to properly pin a boutonniere from Snippet and Ink.

Pucker up! Go matte with your lipstick. Follow these steps from Beauty Tips for Her for making your lipstick last 8 hours. Powder is the trick!

The night sky. If you are in charge of the decor, a beautiful backdrop is a black felt curtain, string lights and star lanterns. (Source)

Say it with balloons. Grab balloons that announce the year. We love this friend-shoot from Seniorologie; it could be fun with the guys too! You can find numbered foiled balloons here.

Kissable lips. Gently to gently buff away flakes and hydrate lips with an exfoliating lip scrub. Having exfoliated lips will help keep your lipstick on prom night.

Don’t go hungry. Eat something and drink lots of water before going out for prom. If hosting a dinner night, finger food is good for snacking and keeping clothing clean. Consider this Epic Charcuterie and Cheese Board from Skinny Taste. The protein will be great before heading out the door!

Break in your shoes. Make sure to break in your shoes! Take a thick pair of socks, wear your new shoes, and use a hair dryer to blow on the tightest areas. Keep repeating until the shoes fit comfortably! Also rub sand paper on the sole of the shoe to prevent slipping on the dance floor!

Hide your money. Have your hands free and invest in this must have prom accessory: the garter purse. Hide extra money, your credit card, and even your phone!

Stay hydrated. Serve a party punch for the crew to sip while getting ready or taking photos. We love this recipe from Savor Home. Be sure to include a straw to protect lipstick!

Check it and forget it. Waiting until the last minute only ads stress. Take a look at the prom planning tips, from Sarah Jane. A to do list that goes as far as three months out!

Zits suck. Don’t let a pimple mountain ruin your night. Blushing Basics gives you a step by step tutorial on how to conceal a zit. Don’t pop it, hide it!

Etiquette 101. Don’t shy away or be afraid to eat in front of your date. Going to a fancy dinner for the first time? Here is a diagram with some basic rules of etiquette for your your formal dinning. Know which fork or spoon to use, which glass to pick up and how to pass the table and salt. (Source)

Trade in these Child Screen Time Ticket for entertainment on video games, the computer, tablets, smartphones or even watching television. These printables are a great kid incentives, moving responsibility from the parent to the child!

Screen Time Tickets Printables

I recently saw a meme about when you tell a child their screen time is over. The meme was pretty much depicting a grown man in a toddler fit. No matter the age of your child, I am sure we can all relate the the temper once screen time has been declared done.

Two things that I have found helpful in my own struggle with screen time, are giving the children control and also letting the child know how much time they will have beforehand. They are not caught off guard when time is officially up because they became “playing” knowing they only had x number of minutes. While this has not solved all my parenting problems, holding true to these two tips has been really helpful.

Shop Screen Time Tickets Digital Download

When our kids get screen time, they give Alexa an alarm to go off when their time is up. This allows me to not keep track of time and also gives them their own responsibility to monitor their time and get off when their time is up. Before beginning their game, they say “Alexa, tell me when 30 minutes is up” …and that is what she does! You can also work on Alexa giving them a 25 minute reminder, in addition, so they know they need to wind down where they are in the game.

In this pack of Screen Time Tickets, we included a ticket for five minutes, ten , fifteen, thirty, and sixty minutes. We also included a golden ticket for you to use as you see fit. Perhaps a day of unlimited screen time for good behavior. You can combine tickets if your child needs one of the numbers not included in this set.

Add these Items to your Baby Registry

Are you expecting a baby? If this is your first, you probably are overwhelmed and have no idea exactly what you need and what you can do without. Even if you already have a kiddo, there could be some new items on the market that you’re not sure if you need. We’ve got you covered! You’re going to want to make sure you Add these Items to your Baby Registry.

Not expecting a baby but know someone who is? This is a great guide to see what your friends will need for their baby showers!

This Skip Hop Moby Bath Tear-Free Waterfall Rinser Bath Cup is a necessity. I used this with all 5 kids, and it made rinsing the shampoo out of their hair much easier. You can use it to rinse your little ones’ bodies, too!

This Safety 1st Easy Grip Brush And Comb Set with Sleep Baby Nail Clipper Set is another thing I’m glad I had. The soft brush is made just for babies’ heads, and the nail clippers are a must to keep your baby’s nails short so they don’t scratch up their faces.

OK…I know this is one that will weird you all out, but you have to trust me on this! The NoseFrida Snotsucker Baby Nasal Aspirator looks really gross, but it works amazingly to clear out clogged up little noses. There is a block in the tube to prevent the snot from going into your mouth, so it’s really not as a gross as it looks. This works SO much better than the nasal aspirator balls, and everyone I know who has this LOVES it!

This sleepsuit is something I couldn’t live without with my babies. You start using the Baby Merlin’s Magic Sleepsuit when your baby is around 3 months old, and it helps transition from the swaddle babies are used to to sleeping in just a sleeper. The Magic Sleepsuit is designed for back sleeping and helps establish good sleep habits and patterns.

If you like to get your sleep (who doesn’t?!), this will be your Baby Bible. The book On Becoming Babywise helps you naturally synchronizing your baby’s feeding time, waketime and nighttime sleep cycles, so the whole family can sleep through the night.
