Baby shower alphabet book: a guest coloring activity and ABC keepsake
Your guests color, write and sign. The parents-to-be take home an ABC book full of love.
Overview
Baby shower alphabet book that gives guests a calm, creative task: each person colors a large bubble letter, completes the "A is for" line and adds their name. The gender neutral set has 33 pages, with 26 letters from A to Z, a table sign, a sign-up sheet for letters, a coloring guide, word ideas, a title page and a binder cover. It arrives as an instant PDF download in US Letter and A4, and nothing is shipped.
Why a baby shower alphabet book works so well
People have something easy and relaxing for their hands while they talk, and the parents-to-be leave with a finished ABC book created by everyone who loves their little one.
A table sign lays out the activity in four quick steps, so the host is not explaining it again and again. With the sign-up sheet, each of the 26 letters is claimed just once, and the word ideas page offers three suggestions per letter for anyone who gets stuck. Once the party is over, place the pages in a binder behind the cover and title page, and you have a bedtime book ready to share.

Questions
Questions about the baby shower alphabet book
Is the alphabet book gender neutral?
Yes. It uses soft blush lines on white pages, so guests can color it in any colors they like for a boy, a girl or a surprise.
How do I make sure every letter gets colored?
Use the letter sign-up sheet. It has 26 rows from A to Z, so each guest claims a different letter and you can tick it off when it comes back.
Can we use it at a virtual shower?
Yes. Guests can print their letter at home, color it, and then mail it or send a photo.
What should guests color with?
Markers, colored pencils and crayons work best. Wet paint can wrinkle regular printer paper, and heavier card stock makes a sturdier book.
