the Wry Baby Blog

When Wry Baby set out to give the classic baby book a face lift, we realized there were some things that couldn’t be thrown out with the bath water. This is a peek at The Wry Baby New Parents’ Fun Book’s version of the classic baby book list of firsts. You know, first baby smile, first baby words, first dirty diaper. All the important baby facts you must record for future generations. Well, first off, Wry Baby makes the list fun to fill by making it a fun sticker project! For each first baby tooth or first visitor, there’s a corresponding, colorfully witty sticker to mark the occasion along with some room to record the special date and specifics. In the end you have a colorful spread of your baby’s remarkable achievements. Take a look at Wry Baby’s “Book of Firsts” below. Just a taste of the fun activities that await lucky new parents in Wry Baby’s New Parents’ Fun Book!

The Wry Baby New Parents’ Fun Book is available June 2 from Wry Baby (www.wrybaby.com) A fantastic, wholly unique shower gift and perfect as a fun baby gift.

You can pre-order The New Parents’ Fun Book from Amazon by clicking here.

When were aren’t making fun baby clothes, Wry Baby’s making up fun things to do for the babies who wear those fun baby clothes. Does that make sense? Anyway, if you have a chalkboard and a camera, grab your fun baby and try out this fun kid project.

While this requires some drawing skill, you don’t have to be da Vinci for this to work. All you do is draw a backdrop for your child to pose with. The fun comes from what you draw. Maybe it’s his/her favorite cartoon character to pose beside. Or draw puffy clouds and your child can be a bird flying around. A city skyline and your 50ft. baby is on the rampage! Have fun with it and in the end you’ve spent some quality time plus you’ll have some fun photos to share with friends.

If you had fun with this, you might want to check out Wry Baby’s newest book, The New Parents’ Fun Book. It’s a reinvention of the baby book filled with 96 pages of puzzles, games, journal pages, family trees and…well, it’s even got a board game inside it! Fun for both a new Mom and Dad to fill out and it makes a great baby shower gift. Available June 2 at wrybaby.com

Here at Wry Baby it’s not all about making the funny baby clothes. It’s all about fun parenting! Our motto is “Raise Funny People” for gosh sakes! Our new book, The New Parents’ Fun Book (available June 2 at wrybaby.com) was off to the presses when we remembered this super fun parenting activity.

Grab your camera and your kid and go find a smashed up car somewhere (wasn’t hard to do when we were in San Francisco). Then pose with it to make it look like you were the tiny, yet super-humanly responsible party! Pictures like these are sure to end any and all bullying that’s occurring at your child’s school and you’ll have a great conversation piece for your desk at the office. If you get any stellar car smashing snaps, send them to Wry Baby at blogger@wrybaby.com. Have fun out there, people!

Also works pretty good with broken windows. But you gotta be CAREFUL, Folks!

You’ll find even more fun parenting ideas in Wry Baby’s new book,

Following the success of Safe Baby Handling Tips and Safe Baby Pregnancy Tips, we thought we’d go in a different direction and refresh a traditional baby gift that was in dire need of a face-lift. We’re super excited about the upcoming release of the new Wry Baby book, The New Parents’ Fun Book. It’s scheduled for an early June release (you can pre-order it now here), but we got our samples in early and we wanted to give you a peek at what we’ve been working on the past year here at Wry Baby.

The New Parents’ Fun Book is essentially a reinvention of the baby book. Only instead of jotting down just facts, it offers a fun way to record your baby’s statistics along with lots of information about what the parents were up to during baby’s first year. This is all done through 96 pages of games, puzzles, journal pages and crafts.

Here’s a peek at some of the pages from The New Parents’ Fun Book. We styled it after classic kid activity books from the late 50′s-early 60′s, which is pretty obvious from the intro spread. The Curseword Puzzle consists of words you won’t be able to fling around the house once Junior arrives, and the Daddy’s Favorite pages let Dad fill in his favorite bands, hobbies, movies and TV shows. You can see how the Fun Book will be a hoot to read 20 years from now.

I’ll post more pages from The New Parents’ Fun Book that show off some of the bonus spreads including stickers, a book-within-a-book and a portable Pop!

Kelly and I are really excited to add another Wry Baby book to our arsenal of fun shower gifts! Following on the heels of Safe Baby Handling Tips and Safe Baby Pregnancy Tips, it’s The New Parents’ Fun Book and it’s available for pre-order now! We got our samples in this week and the Fun Book looks great. At 96 pages, it’s our favorite Wry Baby baby gift yet. Basically, it’s a reinvention of the classic baby book. The Wry Baby New Parents’ Fun Book is chock full of games, puzzles, stickers, journal pages, crafts…heck, it’s even got a board game for new parents to play!

Our goal was to make a fun baby book that BOTH parents would have fun filling out together and to make it fun enough that it got filled out completely. In the end, you have a Wry Baby baby keepsake that your child will have a blast reading when they’re older.

We’ll be posting some sneak peeks of what’s inside The New Parents’ Fun Book so y’alls can check it out. And if you want to pre-order The New Parents’ Fun Book, you can do so at amazon.com. We’ll have it in stock at the official Wry Baby website, www.wrybaby.com, in early June.
