Bluey Activities and Crafts

I know a lot of older kids watch Bluey, but my daughter never really has, so I’m a bit behind on all the love for this Australian series about a family of dogs. I’ve actually seen most of the Bluey I’ve seen in the waiting room at her doctor’s office, but I know it’s a very sweet and real (for being about animated dogs) show that includes all the themes you’d expect from a little kid’s show, with a healthy dose of mom and dad are doing the best they can, which I love.

Grab some Bluey alphabet printables from My Happy Printables to decorate your learning space or to spell out basic words with your little ones.

Brightly has a nice collection of free printable coloring and activity pages related to Bluey, as well as a 25 page PDF activity kit. The kit includes crafts, a nature scavenger hunt, a foldable fortune teller, memory game, coloring pages and more. I love the DIY bean bag toss activity included (it’s made out of a large cardboard box).

Leslie B Style on Etsy has some cute worksheets for practicing the alphabet with a Bluey twist, with letters standing for things from the show, like R is for Rusty and K is for keepy uppy. And Kids Korners has ABC flashcards with elements like A is for Australia and G is for grannies. So cute!

Once Upon a Theme Park has a printable Bluey word search, and the Bluey web page actually has a bunch of great activities and crafts with a Bluey twist. Learn how to draw Bluey and other characters, find printable bingo cards to use as you watch episodes, get instructions on how to play games included in the show and more.

Learn how to make these adorable Bluey plushies from felt with the patterns from . This is a great one for older kids (or adults!) to make and little ones to play with. Act out episodes or just add them to your storytelling basket. Or get out the melty beads and make these Bluey Perler bead projects collected by Julie Ann Art. The Bluey and Bingo shown here are form Frugal Fun for Boys and Girls. DIY Candy has another collection of Bluey Perler bead patterns.

This page is about Bluey themed birthday party decorations, but it has a printable activity mat that might be fun for the car or when you’re waiting for dinner. It includes a maze and word search as well as spaces for tic tac toe and the dot/box game. You can download these and other fun Bluey printables from Ellie Rose Party Designs.

Learning about Australia for Kids

I’m in deep denial about the fact that new year is almost upon us again! It’s been the fastest and the longest year at the same time, and I can look back and see some good things as well as some things I wish had gone differently.

Doing a year in review with your kids — whether in the classroom or at home — is a good way to capture some of their memories and the things they really liked about the year gone by.

There are a lot of different printable year in review worksheets you can use if you want to make this super easy. Here are links to a few (often part of larger posts about NYE celebrations with kids that are worth a read, too):

Teach Beside Me has lots of fun printables fro the end of the year, including a year in review that covers favorite memory, funniest memory and the best book they read, among other topics.
NurtureStore‘s version has space for a self-portrait and prompts like favorite toy, best day out this year and future dream job.
Remember favorites, their “best idea” of the year and have room for setting goals for next year with this one from The Keele Deal.
The year in review from Yes We Made This has room for drawing or writing and includes things like something they learned, a memory they made and a place they visited.

Of course you could pretty easily make your own year in review for the whole family to do that asks questions based on what you most want to remember. (Favorite video game? Best friend? Favorite family memory?)

And if after the year in review you’re ready to look ahead a bit, Mrs. Merry has new year’s resolution printables to inspired kids to look ahead and set goals for things they want to try. You can totally fill this one out as a grownup, too.
