216. Woodland Cookbook
If you're trying to go all out with the cooking then we recommend getting a cookbook with recipes that feel like authentic woodland foods. We found a wonderful cookbook called Savor by Ilona Oppenheim. There are a variety of appetizers and meals to serve your guest and it's all inspired by the forest, fields, and farms. We like the selection from this book but you should find recipes you like and want to cook.
Woodland Baby Shower Games
217. Forest Scavenger Hunt
You can organize a scavenger hunt with clues leading to woodland-themed items around the venue.
218. Woodland Baby Shower Bingo
We suggest woodland baby shower bingo because it’s a great game to play while opening gifts. The bingo sheet starts off blank and everyone has to fill in one square with what they think the mom will receive as a baby shower gift. Then while mom is opening her gifts everyone will mark off on their sheet if they guessed it and the first one to have 5 in a row wins.
219. Tree Trivia
You can have a trivia game with questions related to trees and woodland creatures.
220. Woodland Baby Word Search
There are plenty of woodland printable party games but having a baby shower word search is a good addition to whatever games you choose. It gives everyone something to passively do and it fit your event and the bingo sheet.
221. Woodland Animal Painting
This can be a game you play with guests in a couple of different ways. You can either have some white flower pots that you have your guests paint on and take home or have them help you paint for the nursery by giving them some canvases or paper that you can frame and get them to paint some woodland animals that you can put up in the baby room.
222. Acorn Toss
You can set up a target and have guests toss acorns or bean bags to hit the target.
223. Guess the Gummy Bears
This game requires a lot of gummy bears and a mason jar. Before dumping your bags of gummy bears into the jar you’ll have to count them individually or if the product bag says the number of gummy bears on it then just add up those numbers based on how many bags you put in. While this game may take a little bit of prep, it's a fun game to play at a baby shower and it matches the theme well.
224. Candy Bar Game
The Candy Bar Game is a fun way to pass some time at your baby shower. Print as many woodland baby shower candy bar sheets as you need, and you can play along too. Everyone has to guess which candy bar is associated with different aspects of pregnancy and having a kid. Watch your guests try and wrap their heads around how these candies could be interpreted and get a good laugh out of your guests.
225. Diaper Raffle
This is more or less a game, but you should notify your guests before the event, perhaps in the invitation. In this case, inform everyone to bring diapers of any size and write their name on this woodland diaper raffle, then everyone will put them in a bowl and someone’s name could be randomly chosen for a prize. Your prize can vary from a small cash prize, a food treat, or something simple as an incentive to get your guests to bring diapers for you.
226. Advice For the Future Parents
This is another game that is also just useful. This can be advice for mom or for dad or both. There are printable woodland sheets for this and everyone gets one to fill out. You can read the results in front of everyone or save them for later, whatever feels most comfortable and fun to you.
227. Pin the Tail on the Animal.
You can easily create this with some construction paper. You can choose the woodland animal or use multiple. If you choose an owl you could pin the beak on the owl or the tail on the bear. Whatever you choose you can just draw the animal and cut it out and then cut out the tail separately so that people can use that to pin on the animal.
For this game, blindfold the player and have them walk up to the wall where the animal is pinned up. Make sure a piece of tape is attached to the tail so that it will stick when the person attaches it to the animal.
228. Name the Baby Animal
This game also goes very well with the theme and the event. Print out a list of woodland animal names and have them guess what the name for that animal is as a baby. Like how baby cats are known as kittens, or baby dogs are known as puppies, but this version is for woodland animals so you and your guests will be guessing for bears, foxes, squirrels, raccoons, and so on.
