Zoo Animal Baby Shower

My sister's recent baby shower was such a fun time. It gave me a chance to experiment with a few different craft projects.

Invitations

A simple card in a turquoise blue with a happy yellow giraffe. The white baby text jumps out on the bright color.

Decorations

Zoo animals added a fun touch to the décor. The yellow lion with polka dot mane was really cute. The chevron funny monkey gave everyone a friendly wave. My sister made the chocolate dipped pretzels with sprinkles. They were a hit!

Treats

The cake really came out well. We ordered extra plain cupcakes. I made the turquoise flags to go on top.

A little extra fun

Turquoise chevron moustaches were fun for everyone to get into the spirit of welcoming the little man!

Favors

I had been wanting to try chalkboard paint for a while. I made chalkboard clips with a magnet on the back using a thin wooden square attached to a wooden clothespin. Hot glue gun and craft paint were the only other tools necessary for this easy favor.

Simple and sweet ideas for baby shower invitations, baby announcements, birthday cards, scrapbooking.

Brown bears! Big and little bears are so sweet. They can hold hands, overlap or stand side by side. Neutral brown is works on a variety of boy or girl background colors.
