Once Upon a Treehouse - Tips for a Baby Shower & Easter Giveaway

Mothers and sisters Lori Kay Schoeneman & Tara Schoeneman-Brown are creators of Once Upon A TreeHouse, a line of eco-friendly, handmade, wholesome toys that promote quality playtime, and an  interactive website with crafts for the family. They recently sponsored a baby shower and made a custom playhouse for Lisa Ling and can offer expert tips like:

• Select the theme and color scheme based around the nursery decor
• Ask guests to bring along a copy of their favorite childhood book, and they can even inscribe a special message for baby to be
• For a shower activity do a group craft and have the guests create something for the new nursery walls or decorate onesies and burp cloths
• Have a station with an iPad/phone to take a short video of each guest and their special message for the new parents and baby
• Display seasonal planted flowers or herbs in spray-painted pots for centerpieces that double as the party favors
• Have a few quick and easy games like, have each guest cut a piece of ribbon the length they think will best fit around the honoree's belly, and the closest one without going over wins
• Instead of spending time on watching the honoree open gifts, ask guests to bring the gifts unwrapped or in a gift bag and have a large table or area where they can be displayed.  
• A small box filled with a few miniature cupcakes of different flavors is a favor everyone will love!

She is just the right size to interact with all  her favorite toys. The Once Upon a Treehouse dolls come in a variety of sizes and have all sorts of accessories. You can get complete doll houses or horses for them to ride.
