Famous Blue’s Clues

Blues Clues has to be one of THE most popular party characters for kids’ parties today. Luckily, if you are looking for printables, some decoration ideas and activities, and also some darling Blues sweet treats for your kid’s Blue’s Clues party, Nickjr.com is an excellent resource to check out. I think the Blue’s Clues cupcakes are really special!!

Celebrate Express has some cute Blue’s Clues party hats.

Here are other ideas to pull this theme together in an exciting way:

Invitation Ideas:

Send off a large Blue’s Clues paw print with all of the party details on the back.

Ask the kids to wear blue to the party on the invitation.

If hand-delivering, you may want to put together a puppy chow mix (Chex Mix) and bag it into small cellophane blue bags. Attach a small Blue paw print to the ribbon with all of the party details!

Decoration Ideas:

Using different shades of blue, place balloons and streamers all over the party area. You can also find Mylar Blue’s Clues balloons and tie these to the birthday kid’s chair or to a Blue’s Clue stuffed animal for the party table’s centerpiece.

You can certainly find Blue’s Clues party supplies, but if you are looking to be a bit more budget-conscious, you can use different shades of blue for the cups, tableware, plates, and napkins. Cut out small blue paw prints and scatter these across the party table for additional festivity. Also, you could use a white paper table cloth and put out different shades of blue crayons on the table for the kids to draw their own blue pawprints.

Place Blue’s Clues paw prints on a path leading to the front door.

Inside the front entrance, using a medium cardboard box and construction paper, make a large mailbox like the one on the show. The party guests can place their birthday cards in the mailbox, and presents can be laid around it as well.

Transform one of your chairs into the “Thinking Chair” and place a red cover over it.

Play Blue’s Clues music!

Have the “Blue’s Clues Birthday Party Video” on hand.

If you have Blue’s Clues stuffed animals, place them all over the party room.

Activity Ideas:

When the kids arrive, have a Blue Clue’s pawprint painted on to the kids’ faces. If they are old enough, they can also be given a blue pencil and blue notebook to record clues throughout the party. While they are waiting for the other kids to arrive, they can write their own clues in their notebooks that they can share with one another later on during the party. The pencil and notebook can be taken home as the goodies.

Have a Blue’s Clues Scavenger Hunt. Divide the group into teams of 2-3 kids and provide each team with clues to find “blue stuff” all over the house. Some clues and items can include:

Blue Cup: I hold liquid for you to drink.

Blue Sweater: Warm and fuzzy, find me quick, it’s like a Blue’s hug.

Blue Sock: I am not much without my better half and, even then, if I have a hole I am not much use.

Blue Pen: Doodle with me all the live long day.

Blue Hat: I top you off and keep your head warm.

Blue Soap: After you reach for me and my suds, squeaky clean you will be.

Blue Book: Open me and read the words, stories to entertain you I will spin.

Play “Pin the Flag on the Mailbox.” Using a Mailbox printable, enlarge it, and print out one flag for each of the kids.

Play “Hot Blue” like “Hot Potato.”

Play “Blue Says” like “Simon Says.”

Have the kids make “Blue works of art by providing blue crayons, blue water paints, blue markers, etc. They can take their blue creations home with them!

Using three blue cups, hide a small prize under one. Each kid gets to take a turn uncovering the prize from the right cup.

Enjoy a Blue’s Clues Pinata. Provide three clues to the kids for them to guess what they will be doing, i.e. a bandana, a stick, and some candy.

If a beautiful day and you can do some activities outdoors:

Enjoy a bottle of Blue’s Clues bubbles! Add some blue food coloring to mini-bottles of bubbles. Hand out the bubbles and have them make a Blue’s Clues Bubble Rama! You can also use one large jar of bubbles and place it into a large bowl and the kids can use house hold items, like fly swatters, to make bubbles as well.

Provide the kids with blue sidewalk chalk to make their own paw prints on the patio.

Make a batch of sugar dog bone cookies. Have them pre-made and the kids will be able to frost them with blue icing and decorate with blue sprinkles. They will enjoy eating them as they go along.
