Many people don't realize how much a baby can-and can't-do. Write a list of tasks your baby can do, such as "Touch her nose," "Eat with a spoon," "Put on her shoes," and "Turn on the VCR," and add some she can't do yet, such as "Brush her teeth," "Say the alphabet," "Dial the phone," and "Eat a carrot." Have guests try to guess the tasks your baby can do.

This is a fun game to play at a baby's birthday party. We simply gathered a few of our baby's favorite items, i.e. her favorite rattle or toy, the remote control, daddy's keys, etc. We then asked everyone to write down what they believed would be the first item the baby would pick up. We placed the baby on the floor with all of the items around her and waited! We had enough prizes to award everyone with the winning guess.

We did this for all of our daughters' first birthdays. I purchased several packages of colored pencils and gave everyone in attendance a piece of blank white paper. I asked everyone to sketch or draw a picture of the birthday girl. It was so funny. We certainly aren't a family of artists, but it was surprising how talented a couple members of our family actually are. I had everyone sign their name (my husband and I also participated) and I placed them in a time capsule, or a box of other mementos of the big day!

Take a picture of your baby (enlarge if possible) and glue it onto poster board. Then make party hats with the age of the baby on them out of construction paper, heavy wrapping paper, etc. Attach a loop of tape to the back.
Have each guest initial their "hat".
Blindfold the guests (adults and kids can play) with a scarf, spin them around and see who can pin the hat closest to the top of the babies' head!

Get out all kinds of baby gadgets that most people who aren't parents are not likely to know, such as a heat-sensitive thermometer strip, a teether, a bulb syringe, medication for swollen gums, etc. Pass them around one by one, and have your guests write down what they think it is or what it does. After all of the objects have been identified, have the guests read their answers. Some of them can come out really funny! After all the guests read their guesses, you can share the real answers.

if you have more than one walker, great. I used two walkers.
Have babies race to a finish line, using a walker, two at a time.
Have several "heats"
Winner of each heat compete against one another and prizes are awarded to the top 3 finishers... and of course all other participants get parting gifts.

Set all the crawling and walking babies inside a taped off area and place toys outside the circle. Last baby to remain in the circle wins.

This is a cute game in which guests remember or have to guess when the birthday boy or girl started saying "DaDa," "MaMa," started crawling, rolling over, and walking. This could be a simple cute game to play with adults while someone else is leading the children's games.
