Curious George Baby Shower will be More Fun than a Barrel of Monkeys!

When you choose a classic theme like the vintage, classically styled Curious George found in our Curious George baby shower supplies, you are bound to evoke memories of childhood in yourself and from your guests.

In fact, it’s clear to see that actual Curious George stories inspired these baby shower supplies since so many of the props that can be found on the pages of Curious George storybooks are found right in these decorations.

Using this theme will make your decorating easier because of the fact that they do have so many cute toys and Curious George story props within the design. Plus, the buttery yellow, beautiful green, and milk chocolate brown color palette is perfect for baby showers and will make it easy for you to decorate no matter where you decide to have your baby shower. And this theme makes other baby shower decisions easy too, such as what type of refreshments you will serve to your guests or what games your guests will play at the baby shower.

Here are our ideas for using Cute and Curious George baby shower decorations as the inspiration for your shower:

• Let Cute and Curious George baby shower supplies inspire your decorations:

  
  Taking your cue from the props and extras found on all the Cute and Curious George baby shower supplies, you can use monkey or Curious George toys, other classically styled stuffed toys or pull toys (like the giraffe and elephant featured in the Curious George baby shower supplies), striped beach balls, and other items you remember from Curious George stories. Try incorporating the yellow hat (worn by the Man with the Yellow Hat) and other similar items to accessorize and decorate throughout your spaces or on your gift and refreshment tables.

  Use Curious George storybooks to accessorize your tables as decorations and after the baby shower, give them to the expectant mother to add to the library for the new baby. You can even ask guests to bring a Curious George story book or another of their favorite childhood story books to add to the new baby’s library.

  Take a napkin, plate, or other item from the theme that incorporates a lot of the elements when you order a cake for your baby shower so they can be used as inspiration for a professional frosting design. Or if you will be making your own Curious George inspired cake or cupcakes, use the beautiful color palette to make your own simply striped or polka dotted designs. You can also use solid color sprinkles or banana shaped candies to top your cupcakes or cake.

  When it comes to baby shower favors for your Curious George baby shower, use containers like our palm tree party favor holders as both place setting decorations and to hold guest favors like M&M candies, buttermint creams, or Jordan Almonds in solid colors that coordinate with the décor.

  Use Curious George props around a monkey-themed diaper cake to create a stunning centerpiece which is also a wonderful and practical gift for the expectant mom to take home after the baby shower. Or create a simple yet eye catching Curious George inspired centerpiece from bunches of bananas, set atop a stand to create a banana bunch topiary!

• Cute and Curious George baby shower supplies can also inspire your choice of baby shower refreshments:
  
  
  • Serve cakes and cupcakes inspired by Curious George's jungle home, topped with coconut flakes (which can be food color dyed to coordinate with the yellow, brown and greens found in the Cute and Curious George baby shower supplies). Or serve healthy, delicious banana bread, banana muffins or banana cake.
  • This theme is perfect when it comes to inspiring a baby shower refreshment menu which is both colorful and good for you. Make a Curious George inspired fruit salad with assorted melon balls, banana and pineapple chunks and wedges of mandarin orange or tangerine. Or cut fruits into chunks and balls and skewer for fruity, colorful kabobs your guests will love.
  • Handmade cake and marshmallow pops are all the rage at baby showers this year and there’s no reason not to make them for your baby shower. Dip cake pops or large marshmallows into food coloring dyed coconut flakes or decorative cake sprinkles in colors that match your Cute and Curious George baby shower decorations and tableware. Or dip banana pops into white or dark chocolate and then cover with dyed coconut flakes or sprinkles in matching colors.
  • Serve carbonated sodas in colors that match your theme alongside root beer or cream soda (which matches the brown of the theme perfectly) or make your own yellow or green punch to match.
    
    
• Cute and Curious George baby shower supplies can also inspire your choice of baby shower games:
  
  
  • Even your baby shower games can take inspiration from the Cute and Curious George baby shower supplies. For instance, one traditional baby shower game is played by matching up the words used for animal babies vs. those used for the adult animals. For instance, we call baby cats “kittens,” we call baby dogs “puppies,” baby goats are “kids,” baby bears are “cubs” and so on, and so forth. To play this game at your baby shower, make a list of adult animals and provide paper and pens for your guests. Read out the animal names one by one and ask guests to write down the appropriate baby name for each. After you’ve read all of the animal names, award a prize to the guest who got the most right. You might want to throw a few less well known animal baby names into the mix to make it easier to come down to just one winner.
  • In an alternative version to the game above, scramble a list of baby animal names and challenge guests to see who can unscramble the most in a limited period of time. Or use baby animal names to create your own word search or crossword puzzle. Or tailor these games to your Cute and Curious George baby shower decorations even more closely and use jungle related words rather than baby animal names to create your word games.
  • Have a banana peeling contest where each guest has to peel as many bananas as they can in a set amount of time...without using their hands!
  • Ask your guests to give their best monkey call. This game will surely have everyone laughing and you can award a prize for the funniest, squeakiest, or most real monkey call.
