    Gender reveal ideas?

    We eventually want to do a gender reveal for our order children. Most likely after my anatomy scan in 17 days. The 5 year old is just learning to read and the 4 year old can't, so it probably should be a *pink means girl* visual thing. Any ideas would be appreciated! We probably won't do the cake/icing thing because we want them all the see it at the same time.
    Thank you God and Our Lady

    My children were 9, 4, and 2 when we did our gender reveal -- I gave them all cans of silly string (covered so they couldn't see the color) and had them run around spraying each other. The three boys LOVED it. It was a bit hard for the 2 year old to press the button, but he figured it out. None the less, visual and fun for them.

    If I hadn't done that I was going to give them each a box to open and have pink balloons pop up.

    Congratulations on your little girl!
    Me: 31 DH: 29 and our family: 2005 2011 2013 2016

    DOR at 0.15 AMH, AFC 8, FSH 8.1. Three fresh cycles and two donor embryo FET's we finally got our DD four years later. She completes us in a way I had only dreamed of.

    How about a treasure/egg hunt with double the amount of pink items? Coloured edibles, bottles of bubbles, or pink containers with little toys? Stickers? Maybe a whole bunch of different things to cover all ages? Put a pink or blue rubbon on each box, compare number of ribbons?

    Great ideas! I have 15 more days until my anatomy scan, and we will do the gender reveal (whichever one we decide) later that day. I'll be sure to upload pictures/a video.
