This theme falls into the grouping of unisex baby showers and baby nursery décor. It comes from a classic bible story which is also now being used for baby shower themes for twins, the obvious reason being that the animals went in by two’s. Both baby girls and boys come to learn the names of the animals that sheltered inside the ark and therefore this is not only educative but it brings to life this same story for your child. It is a story of faith and like all bible stories, they always have a moral. The wild animals and the ark will no doubt make this particular shower a favorite among the children.
To begin with, start with sending invitations for the baby shower. You can have fun with this keeping in mind that you have to bring out the theme in everything. You can send two invitations to each household, inviting the couple to come two as the animals went into Noah’s ark. If you decide to make the invitation cards yourself, you can have different animals on each card or even cut the cards into various shapes of different animals.
Once the invitations have been sent, you can continue with decorating your home in preparation for your visitors. You can fill the room with helium filled balloons which have pictures of various animals on them. When you use many animals in your baby shower, it allows you to try out several colors which makes it interesting as it makes the surroundings look good.

Apart from the above mentioned, you can fill the rooms with stuffed animals in two’s, Noah’s Ark paintings and even an antique set of furniture that depicts that time and age.
For the food, you can begin by ordering a cake in Noah’s ark shape or bake it yourself. You can several ideas online that you can use to bake a cake with. On the other hand, you could have a simple cake with icing that depicts the Noah’s ark. You could also shop for animal crackers or fruit snacks that can go with the theme. Serve these with your favorite salads and drinks.
Make the games more fun and interesting by having everyone participate. Since not everybody invited might not be a Christian with the knowledge of exactly what happens in the story, you can base your games on animals. Have them answer several questions on animals like naming their little ones, the gestation period of certain animals, the characteristic behavior of certain animals and the likes. Of course you will have these written down for ease of reference for whoever is in charge. Thereafter, whoever answers many questions gets to win a prize.
