Smart Call
Remember when you had a bridal shower or wedding to attend every weekend? Fast forward a couple of years and suddenly it's baby shower time. It seems always you're a guest or host. But the whole thing gets old pretty quick: Drink some tea, ooh and ahh over tiny outfits, chat about stretch marks and try to be discreet about yawning. You need to liven things up.
Get guests involved by testing their knowledge of baby trivia. BabySmarts is a game of 60 colorful cards in four categories (baby, mom, culture and wild card). The questions cover a broad range of baby topics such as: What is colic? How many pounds do most women lose after giving birth? Are you more likely to snore when pregnant? The answers are filled with useful information that may surprise even experienced moms – and they're edited by a pediatrician and mother of four, so you can trust their accuracy.
BabySmarts is the latest in San Francisco publisher SmartsCo's growing collection of question-and answer-games on a variety of fun subjects. At your next grownup party (remember those?) consider playing WineSmarts, CocktailSmarts, FoodSmarts or maybe even SexSmarts (remember that?). It's a fun way to bring people together and get the party started.
Next up, after all those baby showers: kid's birthday parties – and lots of ‘em.
