Hey mums! If your household is anything like mine, the sound of the Bluey theme song probably plays on repeat. The lovable Aussie Blue Heeler family has captured the hearts of kids and parents alike, making it a perfect theme for your next party! Here’s your ultimate guide to throwing a Bluey-themed bash that will leave your child and their friends barking with joy.
Invitations
Start the excitement early with Bluey-themed invitations! You can either buy pre-made ones or go DIY with some Bluey stickers and colorful cardstock. Make sure to include fun phrases like, “Get ready to dance with Bluey and Bingo!” to set the playful tone.
Decorations
Transform your home into the Heeler’s world! Think bright blues, oranges, and greens for the color scheme. Here’s what you’ll need:
- Bluey Balloons: You can find Bluey-themed balloons online or make your own with blue and orange balloons and Bluey stickers.
- Streamers and Banners: Use blue, orange, and white streamers. A “Let’s Play!” banner will add a nice touch.
- Tableware: Bluey-themed plates, cups, and napkins will make your setup pop.
Costumes
Encourage the kids to come dressed as their favorite characters. You can also set up a DIY station with Bluey ear headbands and tails for the kids to wear during the party.
Games and Activities
Keep the little ones entertained with these Bluey-inspired games:
- Musical Statues (Dance Mode): Just like in the show, play Bluey music and have the kids freeze when it stops.
- Keepy Uppy: A simple game where kids keep a balloon in the air without letting it touch the ground.
- Magic Xylophone: Give the kids toy xylophones and let them play their tunes.
- Face Painting: Add some face paint to the mix with Bluey and Bingo designs.
Food and Drinks
Make sure the food is fun and easy for little hands. Here are some Bluey-themed ideas:
- Puppy Paw Cupcakes: Use paw print toppers on cupcakes.
- Fruit Kebabs: Bluey loves fruit! Make colorful fruit kebabs with a mix of blueberries, oranges, and grapes.
- Bingo’s Biscuits: Decorate cookies with blue and orange icing.
- Bluey Juice: Serve blue-colored drinks, like blueberry juice or blue punch.
Cake
A Bluey cake is a must! You can either go all out with a custom Bluey cake from your local baker or make a simple one at home. Use Bluey cake toppers to decorate a store-bought cake for a quick and easy option.
Party Favors
Send the little ones home with a Bluey-themed goodie bag. Include items like Bluey stickers, mini coloring books, and a small toy or bubble wand.

Set up a Bluey-themed photo booth with props like dog ears, tails, and a backdrop featuring the Heeler family’s house. The kids will love taking pictures, and you’ll have adorable memories to cherish!
Throwing a Bluey-themed party is a fantastic way to bring your child’s favorite show to life. With these tips, you’ll create a fun, memorable day that will have your little one and their friends talking about it for weeks. Have fun, and let the Heeler-style games begin!
