These sweet little babies are adorable gifts and so easy. I will be making several to give to new parents in my program along with a bag of diapers. I would love to claim the idea but Pharma blog has a detailed post for creating these little people.
When you have the opportunity to give these diaper babies as a gift, include your children in the process. They can help select socks and wash cloths; and they can help make them. They will learn thoughtfulness, generosity, and can take pride in the gift they have made for a special person in their life.
You need:
- baby washcloths
- newborn socks
- newborn disposable diapers (pampers were used here)
- rubber bands
- a fine point marker or Sharpie
First, roll up a diaper tightly and place a rubber band around the middle.
Fold the diaper into a triangle, pull the tip of the triangle up, and wrap the ends around the baby and tuck them in. Roll up the sock to create the hat:
Once the baby is cozy, draw eyes with the marker or pen. You could also glue on little google eyes.
Aren’t they adorable and so clever!
Have fun creating a gift and giving together!

My 9 year old made these for her teacher, who is soon going to have a baby. They were very easy, turned out to be absolutely adorable, and she is thrilled to be able to give a gift that she made herself. Thanks for the wonderful idea!
HI Amy, Thanks so much for sharing your story! I am so glad that she had fun making them and giving them to her teacher. The joy of giving is amazing. Kristi
