Everything You Need To Host A "baby Party"

 

My daughter has never met a baby doll she didn't want. So, for her 4th birthday we held her a modified "baby shower" party at our home. We set up her bed like a nursery, filled with babies for her party guests to "adopt." Here's everything you need to throw your own baby party for your little one.

Tender Touch Baby Dolls - Set of 4
Medium
You can't have a baby party, without babies, of course! These dolls may be a bit pricier than some, but they are well worth the cost. They are made well, come in a variety of ethnicities, and come with their own little baby blanket and satin diapers. While this may seem a bit extravagant as a party favor, note that you will not be giving out "goody bags" full of over-priced plastic toys. The cost kind of balances out.
