Fun way to tell kids

My husband and I want a fun way to tell our 4.5yo daughter about the baby.  She has wanted to be a big sister for a long time.  I was thinking about getting her a book.  Not so much a book for worried children that will ease their fears, something that is really fun.  I'm open to other ideas too.  Any suggestions?

    A t-shirt that says "I'm the big sister"?

    we just told our 4yr old DD Friday night, I just couldn't hold it in anymore, she's been asking and asking, and we just did it sporadically after dinner (DH videoed) and she was so excited, she kept saying "there's REALLYYYY 2 babies in there?!"  and now every morning she rubs my belly and asks if they're still in there LOL we just went with the moment and didn't plan anything.

    our announcement will be all t-shirts- Mama Bear, Papa Bear, Sister Bear, and i'll be holding 2 onesies that say Baby Bear- my friend is designing the graphics and i'll print/iron them on the shirts, and then take a photo :) My dd is obsessed with Brave and Goldie & Bear, so I figured that was a good idea, i can't wait!!

    What about taking her to the ultrasound appointment? That's how we told my 4.5yr old son and he LOVED seeing the baby in my belly, I think it made it that much more real for him. He got to keep the picture and held on so tight to it all day!
    I'm in love with my mental image of your son carrying around the picture!

    We told our 4.5 yr old daughter by showing her the ultrasound picture and giving her an outfit with a shirt that said "Best Big Sister."
