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.

Lacing is a great fine motor activity, and most kids go through a phase where they enjoy working with lacing cards. It helps promote focus and is a great quiet activity for kids to do in the car or to fill time in the classroom. And of course knowing how to lace is the beginning of knowing how to sew, which is great for all kids to learn (more on teaching kids to sew here).

There are lots of ways to make your own lacing cards. This one is just a pin but it’s easy to make lacing cards with any shape a child is into using cardboard and a nail to poke the holes. This could be fun for letter and number recognition or spelling the child’s name. Or try this version from Hey Azka, which uses a hole punch to make bigger holes so you can lace with shoe laces.

You can also just do lacing cards with paper, but it’s a great idea to print them on card stock and/or laminate them to make them sturdier for little hands. Homeschool Share has a set of alphabet lacing cards, which are free with email signup. Deceptively Educational has a set of number lacing cards with numbers 0 to 10.

Picklebums has some basic shape lacing cards, too.

Living Life and Learning has a bunch of cute printable lacing cards, including back to school designs, shoes kids can lace and learn to tie and ocean themed lacing cards. She also has tips for making your own lacing cards.

A Rose Tinted World made their lacing cards with craft foam, which makes them a little more durable than paper and you can cut it more easily than cardboard. They used a die cutting machine but you can also cut shapes by hand.

I also love the cat and mouse cards from Seam Whisperer. They also have some spring themed designs. So cute!

If you want to make lacing cards that are more open ended, check out this tutorial form Pretty Life Girls to make lacing cards that are more like geo boards. Theirs are made with wood but you can also do this with cardboard, craft foam or card stock.
