Activities and Games

You'll definitely want to include some games and activities during your baby shower as well, and it's always nice if you can have some activities and games that go along with your theme.

Here are several great ideas that are easy to use.

Name that Baby

Have a list of animals typed up and give the list to each person at the baby shower.

Leave a blank beside each animal. Have them write down the animal baby names. It's more difficult than you think.

Here are some ideas for your list:

• Fox - Kit
• Whale - Calf
• Elephant - Calf
• Goose - Gosling
• Dog - Puppy
• Lion - Cub
• Seal - Pup
• Pigeon - Squab
• Kangaroo - Joey

How Long Does it Take

It can seem like pregnancy goes on for ever, but many animals have even longer pregnancies.

A great game for a jungle baby shower is to have a list of animals. Then list different time periods of pregnancy.

Have people match the animal to the time pregnant. The one who gets the most right wins.

Alphabet Animals

Have your guests write the letters A-Z on a sheet of paper, leaving space by each letter.

Then, give them three minutes to name 2-3 animals for each corresponding letter. See who can come up with the most original animals.

Decorating for a Jungle Baby Shower

Decorating for a jungle baby shower can be a lot of fun. Start out by asking everyone you know for their stuffed animals and have stuffed animals everywhere.

Add some greenery and leaves and vines to the area to make it look like a jungle. Use leopard print, palm branches, and even some bamboo to the room.

You can find jungle sounds on CD's or even on the internet to play during the shower.

Consider purchasing jungle themed paper napkins and plates too to keep the theme going.

Food Ideas

No doubt you want to serve food that will go along with your theme. One of the cutest options is to serve up some animal crackers.

Having a nice platter full of exotic tropical fruits is a wonderful choice too. For the cake, consider a cake that is decorated with adorable little jungle animal babies.

Other great food ideas include going with tiger shrimp, banana splits, or even some monkey bread for the shower.

Jungle Baby Shower Favor Ideas

Do you need some great favor ideas for the jungle baby shower. You can really go wild with some great favors.

Consider giving out little potted tropical plants to everyone that attends. It will be a favor that will continue to live long after the shower.

Small stuffed animals are great favors, or special soaps that are shaped like jungle animals. Even candle holders or picture frames with jungle animals on them are great choice. Mini boxes of animal crackers are cute favors to give away as well.
