Use Toys As Baby Shower Centerpieces

A toy truck's bed can be filled with baby items and used as a centerpiece for a boy baby shower.


Toys make fun and functional baby shower centerpieces. Toys are adorable when used as centerpieces and They're different than the traditional floral arrangement centerpiece. They can be used as prizes in games, or given to the mom-to-be for her new baby. Toys used as centerpieces can be tied in to the theme of the shower, or you can choose to use a variety of different toys, placing a different toy in the center of each table. Does this Spark an idea?


Instructions


1. Purchase the toys you will be using as centerpieces. For a baby boy, toy trucks or wagons are cute and can be filled with baby lotions, soaps, booties and bibs. For a girl, a parasol turned upside down and filled with rattles and teething toys is festive and cute, or a stuffed animal or doll will dress up any table. A bowl of rubber duckies or bath toys works well for a gender neutral shower.


2. Arrange toys how you want them to be displayed on the tables. If you are using a wagon or bowl to fill with toys or baby necessities, unwrap the small items and place them in the container.


3. Place the toys in the center of each table, facing them in the direction of the front of the room, so they can be seen when guests arrive.


4. Tie a balloon to the centerpiece, sprinkle candy or sprinkle confetti around the centerpiece to add a festive touch.


5. Plan games to win the centerpieces if you know many shower attendees are new moms themselves, or plan to give the centerpieces to the expectant mom.
