Favor & gift bags

Games

Guess the poo!

The idea is a bit gross, I agree, but this game will have your guests laughing in no time! Here’s how you play:

1. Choose six different candy bars and melt each in separate bowls in the microwave.
2. Scoop the melted “poo” from each bowl into a small diaper.
3. Use a marker to number the outside of each diaper.
4. Give each guest a pencil and a paper with blank spaces numbering 1 to 6.
5. Pass around the diapers.
6. Instruct guests to identify the candy bar in each diaper and write the name beside the correlating number on their paper.
7. Award prizes for the most accurate answers.

Decorations

Mini Diaper Cake

You’ll need:

• Newborn diapers
• Small and large rubber bands
• Ribbon to match theme
• Hot glue gun
• Empty paper towel roll
• Decorations for the top

Make it this way:

1. Roll up each diaper individually, starting with the waist end. Secure each with a rubber band.
2. Place rolled diapers around the paper towel roll that has been cut to the height of the rolled diapers.
3. Secure the diapers to the paper towel roll with a large rubber band.
4. Wrap ribbon around the diapers to hide the rubber band and glue ends together.
5. Add decorations on top. Suggestions: battery-powered, mini LED lights, or sparkling garland with star/moon wands.
