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.

Leif Erikson Day is celebrated on Oct. 9, and it’s a great time to learn more about the Vikings and why we still remember Erikson all these years later.

If you don’t know about Leif Erikson (sometimes spelled Eriksson), he’s believed to have been born in Iceland, and is considered the first European to set foot on continental America, more than 500 years before Christopher Columbus.

123 Homeschool 4 Me has a printable mini book about Leif Erikson and the Vikings for kids to read and color. It talks about who the Vikings were, what kind of ships they used, how they got to America and more. It’s a good overview for younger kids to use.
