An A "Mazin" Free Shower Game

Mazes can be as simple as a game in a child's coloring book, or as complex as an intricate, confusing, never ending network of winding pathways that seems to never end.

Maze puzzles in children's activity books are loads of fun. And you can spend hours going through many mazes trying to find the prize.  So in the spirit of childhood, we put together a puzzle that combines a maze with a baby theme.

The game is the A "Mazin" Baby Race,  and it can be downloaded and printed for free for your next baby shower.  We hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed putting it together. 

Download this Free PDF file and print a copy for each guest.  To save paper, you can shrink it down to print two copies on one page if that's easy and possible with your equipment.

Instructions: Play the A "Mazin" Baby Race game by helping the baby find the rattle in the middle of of the maze by tracing through the maze without crossing any lines.  The first  person who "finds" the rattle yells "A Mazin" (or something else designated by the hostess) and wins a prize!

Shower Ideas That are as Cute as a Button

If you're planning a baby shower, you might think of using buttons, to support your theme.  Buttons like the "It's a Girl" button shown here are make the perfect baby shower favor and gift accessory all rolled into one. Buttons are an economical way to provide favors that will be used and appreciated.

You're limited only by your creativity in the numerous ways you can use them for your event.  There are buttons, magnets, and stickers with this design, that can be ordered in quantities of one button for a special gift, or in quantities of 10.

Ideas include giving a button to each guest to wear during the shower to reinforce a girl or boy theme.  If the shower is held after the baby is born, they can be printed with the name of the baby and worn during the event to celebrate the new arrival.

Buttons, t-shirts, magnets, cards and stickers are by far some of the most inexpensive ways to announce the gender of your baby to family and friends.  Buttons and stickers can also be used to add pizazz to gift bags, baskets or boxes. After the shower, buttons can be pinned to stuffed animals, pillows and kept as a keepsake.


Round pins, magnets, and stickers in sizes from one-inch (mini buttons) to 3.5 inches in diameter  and make the perfect favor because they fit any theme or practical need. From supporting a political candidate, ID badges, baby showers, announcements parties, or supporting most any event.
