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

Whenever you go to the beach with kids, you’re sure to come home with some seashells and more than a little sand. Let’s use some of those treasures to make fun crafts.

This handprint craft is made with a sand-infused salt dough and some little shells from the beach. It’s a cute way to remember how little your kids were on that beach trip. Find the instructions at From Under a Palm Tree.

Here’s another take on sand dough that was used to make little ornaments and sculptures. Get the details from Pink Stripey Socks.

Moms and Crafters used air dry clay and seashells to make these cute necklaces. She used the storebought clay but you can also make your own air dry clay if you’d rather.

Crafts on Sea used a shell to make a whale, but I’m sure you could take this idea and make lots of different creatures. I love the idea of sea creatures made with shells like fish or a jellyfish or an octopus using the same method. They also have a seashell decoration made with salt dough that’s really cute and would be fun for kids to paint. Poke a hole before it dries for hanging if you want.

Or take a bunch of little shells and decorate a frame like these from Rhythms of Play. They used a handprint instead of a picture but you could also put in a picture from the beach trip.

This is probably one for the mamas to make because it uses epoxy, but I also wanted to share these cute and easy shell hair pins from Thrifty Mama Ramblings, which kids are sure to want for their mermaid pretend play.

Or how about some sensory play straight from the beach? Use store bought sand if you don’t have a beach nearby to make this beach sand slime from The Mama Notes. Thrown in some shells and kids will love playing with this one.
