This is one fun and fabulous kit. It comes with a onetime use Kodak Funsaver camera (27 exposures with flash) so you can record the bellymasking process from beginning to end. And a very special hand knit finger puppet, created by Peruvian women who are master knitters, is included for you to enjoy with your little sweetheart for years to come. The women of this tiny 12,500 foot high Andean village, earn a portion of their living through the knitting of these lovely creations. This particular village has been knitting for centuries and all of the people of the village are master knitters. Through the purchase of this bellymask kit, you are helping to support women and children around the world.

This kit is delightfully packaged and makes a lovely gift. Unlike other baby shower gifts or activities, the bellymask provides a memorable experience of shared fun, creativity, and intimacy and an heirloom sculpture which will rekindle memories of the wonder of pregnancy from generation to generation.

It can be used at least 3 ways that I can think of.

1. You can create your bellymask with a loved one, ahead of your baby shower. Take lots of pictures of the process to share with your friends and family and then bring the bellymask with you to your baby shower and decorate it with your guests as a very special shower activity. Then take more photographs of the bellymask being decorated and finished. Your child will love to look at those photos one day with you while you tell him or her all about how excited everyone was about participating in welcoming them through the decorating of the bellymask..

Or

2. You can plan to make your bellymask at your baby shower and share the process with your guests. This will be the most memorable baby shower activity for everyone and it will help to bring everyone closer to you and your baby. You can use the camera to photo journal the experience. Then bring your bellymask home and decorate it at your leisure.

Or

3. Take home the gift of your bellymasking kit and create your bellymask in a more intimate setting of your home with your partner or another loved one. Decorate it as you please, and remember to take pictures of the whole process to share with family and friends, but especially with your child during a tender and reflective time.

Whatever way you decide to use your kit, take lots of pictures to share with your little one later when he or she wants to know more about how you made it.

This kit really makes a unique and beautiful shower gift for an expectant mother and her family. It will provide everlasting memories of tenderness, hope, joy, and fun for generations to come.
