Baby Abc Coloring Cards
Introduction
You know those games at baby showers where people get super competitive or awkwardly quiet? This is not that.
Baby ABC Coloring Cards is one of those low-key activities that people can do while chatting, eating cake, or just avoiding small talk. You give each guest a letter of the alphabet, they decorate a page however they like, and by the end, the baby has a one-of-a-kind ABC book made by the people who love them most.
It’s easy, meaningful, and surprisingly fun even for people who swear they can’t draw.
What You’ll Need
- 26 cards or printed pages one for each letter of the alphabet. You can DIY them or find a printable set online.
- Markers, crayons, colored pencils whatever you’ve got on hand.
- Optional extras: stickers, washi tape, stencils, glue sticks, googly eyes (why not?).
- A flat surface or table where people can color comfortably.
- A binder or folder to collect all the finished pages when you’re done. Instant ABC book.
How to Play
- Hand out one letter to each guest. If you’ve got fewer than 26 people, let some folks do more than one or save a few for the parents to fill in later.
- Ask guests to color, decorate, or just write something that starts with their letter. Like, ‘B is for Banana’ maybe draw a banana, or a baby in a banana costume. Whatever they’re feeling.
- It’s not about being perfect. Honestly, the weirder and more personal the pages are, the better the final book turns out.
- Let people take their time with it. There’s no timer or rules. Some folks will get really into it, others will draw a smiley face and call it a day. Both are great.
- Once everyone’s done, collect the pages, put them in order, and either pop them in a binder or clip them together. Done and done.
Fun Variations
Team Up: Let couples or pairs work on a page together. Makes it less intimidating for shy guests.
Before & After Pics: Take a photo of the blank cards and then the finished ones the transformation is always fun to see.
Add a Gift Box: Have a little box for guests to drop their page in with a quick message or wish for the baby.
Parent Picks: Let the parents-to-be vote on the funniest or most creative page. Winner gets a mini prize.
Themed Letters: Challenge guests to stick to a theme, like animals, foods, or baby gear. It gets chaotic in the best way.
Why Guests Love It
- It’s hands-on without being stressful. People get to doodle, color, or just write something nice.
- It gives guests something to do during the quieter parts of the shower especially good if not everyone knows each other.
- There’s zero pressure to be ‘artistic.’ Even stick figures totally work here.
- The final book becomes a keepsake that actually means something especially when you flip through years later and see Aunt Mary’s weird zebra drawing.
- It feels creative and thoughtful, but still totally laid-back.
Conclusion
Baby ABC Coloring Cards is more than just a craft it’s a way for friends and family to leave a little piece of themselves behind for the baby to grow up with.
It fits into any type of baby shower: big, small, formal, backyard, Zoom… doesn’t matter. All you need is paper, pens, and people who care.
And at the end of the day, the new parents walk away with something they’ll actually want to keep and maybe read aloud someday when the baby starts learning their ABCs.
