How to Use Baby Shower Scavenger Hunt

This baby shower scavenger hunt is perfect for a baby shower that is being held in someone’s home. If you will not be within a home, you could also set it up at a venue with a little bit of creativity. You will simply need to “stage” the venue with appropriate areas, for example, baby outfits hanging on a rack to represent the “closet”or a baby tub (that you can gift the mom-to-be) for the bathroom or bathtub.

The baby items around the venue area will act like a home. Player can then zoom through the area trying to solve the list of baby rhymes.

Fun Baby Themed Riddles

Go to where the baby will put their folded clothes”, and “Rub-a-dub-dub, oh what a delight. Go where the baby will be bathed each and every night”.

Other rhyming clues include “ The next clue you look for is presently hiding where the baby will spend a lot of time riding” (aka car seat) and “Baby will get lots of lovin, the end of the hunt is revealed baking in the oven.” Stumped? Don’t worry, answers are given with the printable set – plus you want to make this challenging so it becomes a real competition.

How to Play a Baby Shower Scavenger Hunt

To paly this baby shower scavenger hunt, print all 20 scavenger hunt clues. Next cut the nursery rhymes out.

Once you have chosen the right cards, hide the clue cards in the appropriate spot. Make sure to save the first card to start the game! If you are going to have the guests play this game in teams, make sure to print off two of the starting cards! You can then create a time limit and see who completes the hunt the fastest.

You could also use this scavenger hunt to reveal the little one’s name, just leave a single letter where each clue is found. You can also leave small prizes like candy or candles for each guest to take one, or have a larger prize for the winner of the scavenger hunt!

What’s in your Purse?

While you are waiting for all of your baby shower guests to arrive there is another type of scavenger hunt that you can play.

Give each guest a copy of the “what’s in your purse?” baby shower scavenger hunt and a pen, whoever has the most points at the end will win a prize.

Items that are commonly found in your purse such as keys, credit cards, tissues, pens, checkbooks, and rewards cards are only worth a single point per item. Mints, hairbrushes, toys, bandaids, sunglasses, and hand lotion are worth two points each.

Items that are a little less common are worth more points. You can receive five points per item for a paper grocery list, receipt, cash, a phone charger, or a tape measure. For ten points per item, your guests can look for a paperclip, a utensil, a passport, underwear, or a picture of the mom-to-be!

Whether you want to play during a Christmas party or another holiday gathering, this guide will help you get started. Simply follow the steps and ideas below to plan your own holiday scavenger hunt that everyone will love.

What are some good Christmas Scavenger Hunt Ideas?

Have an Elf on the Shelf or Santa deliver the first clue.
Wrap the first clue as a present that’s opened on Christmas Eve.

Have players carol or sing Christmas songs while they search.
Set up a cocoa bar to enjoy when the players find the last clue.

Now that you have all the tips and ideas for planning your own Christmas activity, let’s talk about some fun clues.

What are some clues for a scavenger hunt?

While a Christmas scavenger hunt checklist is fun (see some in our Christmas Traditions), having Christmas scavenger hunt clues is just a bit more fun. Kids will race around the house solving Christmas riddles. It just makes it more interactive and engaging.

Take a look at some of these fun Christmas rhyming riddles we include as clue cards in our printable Christmas scavenger hunt.

Clue 1

Ready or not, this Christmas treasure hunt has begun. Find the first clue where the stockings are hung.

Clue 2

Christmas carolers sing beautifully in a choir. Go to the family car and look behind the tire.

Clue 3

Red and white stripes and a cool minty taste; these striped candies, they never go to waste!

Clue 4

To stay on Santa’s nice list, don’t be a grouch. You next clue can be found, under the cushion on the couch.

Plus sixteen more for a total of twenty Christmas clues for a scavenger hunt. You choose the order for your holiday fun.

What are good prizes for a Christmas scavenger hunt?

There are two ways to incorporate gifts or small trinkets with holiday scavenger hunt. You can have a gift with each new clue or keep a big gift, like a Christmas Eve Box, for the end of the treasure hunt.

Small Prizes

Small gifts are perfect for a scavenger hunt. You can have a small trinket for each scavenger hunt seeker. Christmas party favors or candy canes are perfect to place with each clue. Perhaps your small prizes can be placed together into something larger. For example, have all the ingredients and supplies needed to create a gingerbread house or cookies for Santa.

Christmas Eve Box

You might ask what’s in a Christmas Eve Box? A Christmas eve box is a gift given the day before Christmas. Often it contains Christmas pajamas, a Christmas movie, a Christmas book, hot chocolate and other night before Christmas ideas.

Christmas Presents

If you hold a Christmas scavenger hunt on Christmas morning, consider having a Christmas present with each new clue. This would make a fun Christmas morning activity for the kids and instead of the Christmas tradition of opening all the presents underneath the Christmas tree, you are moving around the house finding a new present with each clue card.

Elf on the Shelf

If you have an Elf doll, an Elf scavenger hunt is the perfect idea. Simply have your Elf on a Shelf bring the first clue and then let your kids hunt for the rest of the clues. You can use the Christmas scavenger hunt below or use a similar treasure hunt meant for an Elf on the Shelf scavenger hunt.

How to Plan a Christmas Scavenger Hunt

The first step in planning a Christmas scavenger hunt is printing a copy of the Christmas scavenger hunt clues. You can download the festive printable PDF here. It contains both clues & an answer key.

Once you have those printed out, you’ll cut them apart and choose which clues work before the the locations you want to include in your Christmas scavenger hunt. You can also make sure the fun last longer by making sure you include more cards.

The cards are Christmas themed with cute patterns and rhyming clues that will take players all through out the house looking for their next clue.

The second step is to place the clues around your house, yard or apartment. You can be as creative as you want with this part. You can make it easy by placing the clues in obvious places or get creative and hide them in harder to find spots.

If you’re hiding the clues inside, we recommend that you put them in locations that are safe and not too difficult to get to. You can also pair teens or older kids with younger children, so all hunters are on an equal playing field.

The third step is to gather your family or group of friends together and explain the rules of the game. You’ll want to go over how many people will be playing, what the goal of the game is and any other important details.

Once participants understand the rules, you’ll be ready to start the game. If you’re playing as a team, when all the clues are found, the team that has found the most clues wins the game.

If you’re playing as an individual, the first person to find all of the clues and make it back to the starting point is the winner. You can even set a stop watch or give a time limit and let each person run the clues one at a time.

No matter how you play, a Christmas scavenger hunt is a great way to get everyone in on the holiday fun.

With these simple steps, you’ll have everything you need to plan your own Christmas scavenger hunt.

1 – 12 Monthly Baby Photo Ideas – Track Your Baby’s Age in Photos

This post may contain affiliate links or ads. Read my privacy policy and disclosure policy here.

September 20, 2022 by Ashley at Frugal Coupon Living Filed Under: Baby, Crafts, DIY, Facebook, Instagram, Kids, Photo, Pinterest, Social Media 1 Comment

Are you a new mom (or seasoned mom) in need of monthly baby photo ideas? Track your baby’s age in 1 – 12 month baby photo ideas. In addition to some amazing month to month baby photoshoot ideas, download our free monthly printable milestone stickers and signs for your baby’s first year.

We are expecting and with the upcoming birth of a newborn, I am in nesting mode. Nesting mode for me includes planning how I am going to take those adorable 0 to 12 month photos (and as I plan and look at ideas, wondering if I will give up after 3 months!) Take a look at the creative Monthly Baby Photo Ideas below.

We think you might get inspired like us!

This post as been updated! You can view the blog post about the birth story of my twin boys.

How do I take the best milestones photos in baby’s first year?

One thing monthly baby picture ideas have in common is they are taken in exactly the same location with very similar props. Staging monthly pictures the same way for the first 12 months of life allows the viewer (aka parents, grandparents and all those who will coo) to see how much baby has grown. Take this photo month by month. You can use the same date of the month, usually around their date of birth.

Fun ideas for milestone baby photos include a Moses basket, a bedroom chair, a milestone blanket and/or monthly signs. Another adorable idea is to have your child in the same outfit as a newborn all the way to a one year old. This really shows how big baby has gotten as they begin to fill in their onesie or t-shirt.

How can you use monthly baby photo ideas?

When taking photos every month during your child’s first year of life, ask yourself how do you want to use these photos. Most people use this cuteness to share to social media or even print for a baby book. However, you can also turn these photos in to artwork or birthday party décor for a baby’s first birthday. When you are done with all your staged photos, combine them into one file in 4×3 or 3×4 setting. This gives you 12 images to see how baby has grown. You can use this combined file to print on a canvas and hang your child’s room or in the hallway. Canva is a great free resource for combining all twelve images into one image.

How can I calm my baby down for a photoshoot?

Guess what. In the first year (and maybe the next 18 years) babies are in charge of the photoshoot. In order to get the best photos, consider your child’s schedule. Make sure they are fed, changed and well rested. The best photo shoots occur shortly after a feed when baby has had time to digest and play. Be careful not to get too close too naptime.

Once baby has gotten upset during a photo shoot, trying to continue shooting might not be a great strategy. Consider calming baby with milk or an outdoor walk. If baby cannot calm, put your photoshoot props aside. Give yourself grace. A five month old photo doesn’t have to be taken on exactly five months old. Five months and one day or five months and two days is still just as precious.

Fun Ideas for 1 – 12 Month Old Baby Photos

Watching baby grow can be lots of fun (and oh so sad too!) No matter the emotions it brings, every mama watch to capture that growth spurt in time. Capture those special moments with baby photographs every month. There’s no need for a professional photographer. These adorable DIY ideas for monthly baby photos will give you amazing photo inspiration during baby’s first year of life.

First let’s start with a free digital download. Use this free printable as inspiration as you look at all of these cute monthly baby ideas. They are the perfect prop for your lasting memory.

1-12 Month Baby Signs Free Printable

We heard you and made our own free monthly baby printables! Feel free to use these cute monthly printable signs as you’d like. They come in two colors: blue and pink. This makes this perfect for any gender – a little guy or little gal!

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.

Flower Monthly Photo Ideas

How amazing is this Monthly Birthday Floral Series from #watchavanellegrow by Lauren Bowyer. Adorable flowers are use as an idea for monthly numbers 1 to 12. Notice her background template is pretty basic. Even baby’s outfits are minimalist. However, the flowers pop as the baby ages.

Black & White Light Box

Amazon has a Lightbox which will help with these Monthly-Lightbox-Photos from Mrs. Kosakowski (link unavailable.) This sticks to a black and white baby’s photo shoot. Pair with other black and white modern baby props for baby’s pictures.

Monthly Milestone Blanket

I love watching the different Monthly Batzkids Blankets and creative ideas from Instagrammers. This idea from @allyouneedisliv, but you can also see what we did with our blanket and the month of November!

Gobble, Gobble this little turkey is one month old! #onemonthold #batzkidslove This fun blanket comes from @batzkids. Find them in our Baby Registry Checklist and Monthly Baby Photo Ideas. Link in profile or www.frugalcouponliving.com/monthly-baby-photo-ideas

See also our monthly milestone blanket on Instagram. You can grab a Huge Selection of Monthly Milestone Blankets online. These blankets make capture baby’s first year easy as they provide an instant backdrop. Just add seasonal props like a pumpkin for Halloween or eggs for Easter.

Belly to Baby Photos

Enhance mama’s belly with a growing baby. This is so cute all the way from pregnancy (before mom’s due date) to one year. We are in love with this Belly to Baby Monthly Series from Simply Rosie. I actually had a great friend do this idea and eventually she was holding a ten year old boy. It was photo with a lot of humor as the child could barely be held in her arms. (I mean we all have our own quirks for creating memorable photos!)

Monthly Photos for Dad

Even dad can get in on the fun. Lift Baby Up in Dad’s Arms with this Monthly Milestone Idea from Little Meg. This allows mama to be the professional photo since we know dad might capture the moment of projectile milk vomit and declare “got it!”

Developmental Milestones

Canva would be a fun place to replicate these Monthly Milestone Photos with your baby from Tonya Teran. Treasure those incredible milestone with this baby photo idea. Write your child’s height, weight, size, and any milestones they are going through.

Baby Chalkboard Photoshoot

The Photographer’s Wife did a great job using a simplistic chair with a black background and chalkboard Font. Baby’s pictures can be taken in front of a painted chalk board wall and you can have fun with the 1-12 roman numerals. Don’t want to paint your walls? Use chalkboard contact paper or paint a board. Or take this picture with a green wall or even black while and play with ah chalk font in the Canva platform.

Moses Basket Bassinet

Use a Basket to Show Baby’s Growth like Little Lucy Lu baby’s pictures. This is adorable with a baby blanket or pillow.

Black & White Baby’s Pictures

Hide your skill and turn your photos into greyscale or black and white baby photos. Take a basket but turn it into a Black & White Monthly Photo Memory like this idea on Tekoa Rose.

Chair Photos

Keep everything the same except the onesie! Add a number to the onesie sharing each monthly milestone like A Girl Named PJ.

Sticker Numbers on White Onesie

Focus on the background and have fun brightly colored fabric still using a number on the onesie like this idea from Laura Wifler. It’s easy to find white onesies for baby and 1-12 monthly stickers for baby.

Same Onesie Outift

Watch your newborn baby grow in something very obvious. Wear the same onesie outfit like this progression series from Erica’s Bloggity Blog.

Colorful Baby Photo

Mix patterns and textiles with baby. If you are artsy, enjoy adding different background and textures to your baby photos. Go gold using bright colors and a fun standout number in this Monthly Baby Milestone Idea from Oh Joy!

Newborn Announcement

Your first monthly photo can also be used as your newborn announcement idea. Tiffany Burke has done an amazing job capturing newborns, but how about this Newborn Announcement would be great incorporated into monthly birth dates.

Precious Moments Facts

Include mom holding the little one and update the photo with some Descriptive Baby Milestones like this idea from Larissa Another Day. This can easily be done with a baby app on your phone or with a free photo editing tool like Canva.

Stuffed Animal

Toys and lovies can be great props for baby milestone photos. Grab a favorite stuffed animal and keep the background the same like this Monthly Baby Photograph Idea from Kristen Honeycutt. We did this with our twins. One child had a raccoon and the other had a fox. This helped us identify who was who in our identical twin photos.

Colorful Milestone Photo

Add color! I love these Milestones and Colors brought together from Darling Doodles Design. Additionally, check out Canva to help with your creation.

Calendar Photo

For this monthly milestone progression, lay baby on a calendar each month like Ashley Ann Photography. From due date to birth date to first birthday, capture baby as the days on the calendar roll along.

Rainbow Baby

Spell it above with felt letters like this Monthly Photo Idea from Famille Summerbelle. This is also perfect for a rainbow baby as it takes the shape of an arch and uses a lot of colors.

Baby Milestone Blocks

Let a 1-12 baby number cube say it all like this Monthly Birthday Photo Series from Hello My Love. You can make your own DIY baby milestone blocks or buy baby monthly milestone blocks online.

Balloon Photos

Add Balloons like this 0 to 12 Month Balloon Series Idea from A Crafted Passion. Add a balloon to the photo for each year of life. Notice mama kept baby in the same outfit in each photo.
