Baby Basket
Use a
baby bathtub and fill with hooded towel,
washcloth, baby bath, shampoo, baby powder, bath
toys, pajamas, diapers.
Anything else appropriate for a baby's
first bath.
Arrange the items in the tub.
Fill in the holes with tissue paper and
white balloons (blown up to different sizes).
Wrap the tub with tulle and garnish with
ribbons and a great big bow.
Baby Basket Idea
In a small laundry basket put baby detergent, fabric
softener and clothes - onesies, one piece pj's, and a
baby blanket. Soft, warm , and clean - great idea!
