Bringing a new baby home is always an exciting time for the family, but it can also be a little confusing for your firstborn. Celebrating their new big sibling status is one way to help them share in the excitement and create a sense of pride.
Presenting your lil one with a Big Brother Tshirt or Big Sister Tshirt is a fun way for kids to show off their new status. We love that one of our personalized shirts for kids can instill a sense of camaraderie (like Double Trouble) or simply make them feel like the superhero (Super Big Brother Tshirt) or rock star (Rock On Big Sister Tshirt) they are.
In addition to our personalized shirts for kids, we also found a few other great gifts out there to help celebrate siblinghood.
Books: Whether personalized, purely instructional or just plain fun, there are some wonderful books out there to help with the transition. (We found Chloe, Instead on CoolMomPicks.com and The Super Incredible Big Brother personalized book at PotteryBarnKids.com)
Jewelry: Either beaded or blinged, there are some cute choices for both boys and girls when it comes to big sister and big brother necklaces and bracelets. (This Big Sister pendant necklace is from PickledBeads and the Beaded Bracelets are from StarGazingLily, both on Etsy)
Having your little one help pick a gift for their newborn brother or sister is also a great way to get them involved. If you’re interested in additional ways to help prepare kids for their new role, LilSugar.com recently posted some great tips – read them here.
