Best February baby shower ideas 

1. A paper airplane making activity 

Guests will have so much fun with this activity and it matches with the season too - referencing a bygone era where love notes were folded into paper planes and delivered through the air! You could set up a cute stall where guests can make and decorate their own, then test them out - you could even hold a contest and award small prizes for the best decorated or the furthest distance travelled - or create a loop-the-loop paper plane challenge for guests to try!  

2. A make your own candy bark activity  

Guests can have the most fun ever with this! There are so many decorating options you could try, from milk chocolate, dark chocolate and white chocolate curls they can sprinkle in, to cookie pieces, any candy pieces, mini marshmallows, freeze dried fruit and even popping candy!

For this activity, you will only need some candy melts/wafers or melting/cooking chocolate and some chocolate moulds, then, when all guests are set to start, melt the chocolate in the microwave and pour into each guest's mould. They can then decorate to their heart's content and make their own special chocolate! 

You could even melt some portions of colourful candy melts, then add a little vegetable oil to keep it melted as long as possible - for your guests to use to create colourful swirls and patterns in their chocolate.  

   
When guests have finished their creations, pop them in the fridge to set. When the chocolate is cool it can then be broken into pieces in order to create candy bark, to arrange in a pretty bag and tie with a ribbon! 

3. Serve some 'melting snow' cotton candy drinks 

These cotton candy party drinks look so cool and right out of a winter wonderland! They are so much fun to watch and look magical and mesmerising. 

To make them, just pop a good amount of white candyfloss in your cups, glasses or flutes, then a sprinkle of edible shimmer in each one - then pour the liquid on top of the candyfloss to make it dissolve, so beautiful to watch and so much fun for guests! You could even add some edible wafer snowflakes to drinks to bring the theme to life!
