Spot That Baby Article (Individual Activity)

You will need a number of boxes decorated to look like a ladybug. Each box should have a different number of black dot(s). The number of boxes depends on how many baby articles you have and how challenging you want this game to be.

This game aims to challenge your guests’ ability to remember things (aka memory game). Each box contains a baby article. The goal of each of your guest is to be able to correspond which box corresponds to each baby article. The box number is defined by the number of its black dots.

Introduce your guests to each box randomly. Give them time to write down their answers, check their papers, and the person with the most number of correct answers win the game!

Want to make it extra challenging? You can have the same baby article appearing twice. That should add some confusion, and will let you better pinpoint who among your guests deserve the title Memory Champion.

Bowling (Individual Activity)

You will need 10 baby bottles, decorated to look like a ladybug (red with black polka dots), to be able to play this game.

Similar to a typical bowling game, the player need to be able to hit the bottles (and send them spinning) with their ball. Unlike your typical bowling, we suggest adopting a simpler point system – just give each person a turn, with the person with most bottle strikes winning the game.

But of course, simple doesn’t mean not challenging. To add some twist to your bowling game, we suggest having different levels, wherein your players will start off being nearer your bottles, and going farther as they level up. That should make your simple bowling game a little less simple, just the way you like it.

Buggy Race(Group Activity)

This is actually a relay race, a race where each member of the group will have her turn to push the buggy through a mini obstacle course, without losing any of the toys inside the buggy, or at least losing as little as possible.

Each group will have their chance to showcase their “driving” skills one at a time. A simple draw lots should help you determine who gets to showcase first.

Give each group a minute or two to strategize on how to arrange the toys in their buggy so as to increase the
chances of them staying put.

The group who was able to lose the fewest toy and was able to finish the race within the shortest time, will be your winning group!

Red and Black (Group Activity)

We got this idea from a reader of our sister site and we really love the idea so we're customizing it a bit so as to make it a perfect activity for a ladybug shower.

When you send your invitation, ask each of mommy's friends to write a little prayer for either the soon to be parents or the new baby. You also need lots of red balloons with black polka dots  since you will need them for this activity. The number depends on how many guests are expected.

The idea is to tie everyone's lil prayer on a balloon and send all "prayers" to the Heavens. Whether you send each prayer one at a time or send them all together, it will be quite amazing to see all those balloons fly up and up and up.

We'll leave it to you if you prefer to have each friend read his/her prayer to mom-to-be first. But either way, this will be a very solemn and touching activity and is definitely worth adding on any baby shower.

Baby Shower Favor and Prizes

Red hanky with black polka dots - It's kinda obvious why this will make a nice and fitting favor for your guests, so will not explain further.

Salad stuff - ladybugs love greens and if your guests will appreciate it, a package or two of anything that can make their salad experience better, is a favor worth considering.

Ladybug-themed items - from chocolate to bracelets, there are tons of ladybug-themed items around the net. What can we say, this lady is one popular bug!
