|
Many mother's-to-be choose to decorate the nursery in this theme, so naturally their baby shower follows the same idea!
It is also perfect for a twin baby shower since the animals went "2 by 2".
Below are some cute ideas for hosting a spectacular Noah's Ark baby shower!

Food Ideas
- Have snacks such as Chex mix and nuts with a sign next to them saying "Please Don't Feed The Animals"
- Serve animal crackers in festive dishes
- Pour Goldfish crackers in mini fish bowls for guests to munch on. To add even more creativity, tie a piece of string to a small stick to make a fishing pole and hang on the side of the fishbowl
- Get a child's bright yellow rain boot and place a candy bowl on top so it fits snugly on the top of the boot. Fill with Sewdish Fish
- Serve mini doughnuts and stick little flags in them saying "life preservers"
- Bake sugar cookies and cut into cute animal shapes with cookie cutters! You can also do the same thing with sandwiches!
- Float a plastic boat in the punch bowl
Favors/Prizes
- For favors you can make animal shaped sugar cookies, frost them and wrap 2 of the same kind in cellophane (to follow the "2 by 2" idea). Tie with a cute ribbon. You can also attach a little tag saying:
Mom-To-Be's Name

- Wrap animal crackers in cellophane bags and tie with a cute bow
- Fill a baby bottle with Gummy Bears, tie with a cute gingham ribbon and add a favor tag!
- Hand out animal shaped soaps and/or bath beads. Put in a pretty organza bag
- You can always find cute little items at the dollar store such as animal bath mits, fizzies and soaps
Centerpieces/Decorations
- For a centerpiece which also doubles as a baby gift: find a plastic boat and fill it full of baby essentials (onesies, socks, rattles, lotions, etc) and cute little animals.
- Another centerpiece idea is to buy a small umbrella, turn it upside down and fill it with baby items
- Below are directions for making a paper boat - These make perfect place cards, favors or candy bowls! Fill with white Lifesavers which make Life Preservers!:
- If you have more than one table - You can put 2 animals in the center of each table "two giraffe's", "two monkeys", "two lions", "two elephants", etc.
- Take 2 tall cylinder shaped glass vases - Make sure that one of them is a few sizes smaller than the other. Place the smaller vase inside of the large one. Fill the small vase with flowers and water. Then, fill the space in between the two vases with Goldfish crackers. Add enough so that you can no longer see the smaller vase inside. This makes such a cute presentation!
- Hang little stuffed monkeys in plants and indoor tree
- Scatter stuffed animals all around...elephants, bears, bunnies, giraffes, zebras, lions, sheep, cows
- Anything with rainbows on it
- Raincoats and umbrellas also make cute additions to the Noahs Ark theme
- Take a peek at this Cloud & Raindrops theme - you could incorporate some of the clever ideas into your Noah's Ark theme: (click on picture for more ideas)
Games
- Nursery Rhyme Animals: give clues to nursery rhyme animals such as - "who followed Mary to school one day?" or "What nursery rhyme animal jumped over the moon?" or "What nursery rhyme animal lived with Old Mother Hubbard?"
- As guests arrive, have them take some animal crackers out of a bowl (tell them to have a seat, but not to eat theircrackers) When everyone has been seated, go around the room and have each guest tell an interesting fact about themselves.One fact per animal cracker they took. This is a great icebreaker game! More fun game ideas...
