Bluey Birthday Party Ideas

If your child is a fan of Bluey, chances are you’ve heard the theme song more times than you can count—and maybe even done a Grannies dance or two yourself. So why not make their special day truly unforgettable with a Bluey-themed birthday party?

Whether you’re planning a backyard bash, a park celebration, or an indoor playdate, these 20 Bluey party ideas will help you bring the Heeler family’s world to life. They’re creative, kid-approved, and simple enough for busy parents to pull off. Let’s get started!

Bluey-Themed Invitations: Start the party planning with themed invites. You can design your own or find free printable Bluey invitations online. Personalize with your child’s name and party details.
Face Painting: A small face painting station is always a hit. Use safe, washable face paint to turn kids into Bluey, Bingo, or even Bandit!
Bluey Cake: Order a Bluey cake from a local bakery, or go DIY with a cake topped with Bluey figurines or edible images. You’ll find lots of simple tutorials on Pinterest or YouTube.
Pupcakes (Bluey Cupcakes): Individual cupcakes with blue and orange frosting (or paw print toppers) are perfect for little hands and easy to serve.
Keepy Uppy Game: A classic from the show: give each child a balloon and see who can keep theirs in the air the longest. Bonus points if adults join in!
Bluey Dance Party: Play the Bluey soundtrack (yes, it exists!) and let the kids dance. Include a “Grannies” moment where they pop on glasses and wiggle!
Heeler Obstacle Course: Set up an outdoor course inspired by Bluey’s backyard games. Use cones, tunnels, balance beams, and pool noodles for safe fun.
Bingo’s Teddy Bear Picnic: Perfect for toddlers: bring blankets and stuffed animals, and let the kids have a gentle picnic snack just like Bingo.
Magic Xylophone Freeze Game: Play music and have kids “freeze” when it stops, like the “Magic Xylophone” episode. Let them take turns “freezing” each other for giggles.
DIY Bluey Ears and Tails: Set up a simple craft table with headbands, felt, and glue so kids can create their own Bluey or Bingo costume pieces.

Muffin’s Cookie Decorating Station: A cookie-decorating activity doubles as a snack! Provide plain sugar cookies, icing, sprinkles, and toppings.
Bluey Photo Booth: Set up a fun corner with a Bluey backdrop and props like sunglasses, grannie wigs, or Heeler ears. Great for capturing memories!
Puzzle Race: Buy a few inexpensive Bluey puzzles and have a friendly timed race. Great for keeping older siblings entertained.
Bluey Episode Screening: Set up a cozy viewing corner for a few short Bluey episodes. Helpful as a wind-down activity or during cake setup.
Storytime with Bluey Books: Gather the kids for a reading break. There are several Bluey storybooks available at most bookstores or libraries.
Pass the Parcel: Wrap a small prize in multiple layers. Play music and have kids pass the parcel around, unwrapping a layer each time the music stops.
Pin the Tail on Bandit: A twist on the classic “Pin the Tail on the Donkey” – draw or print Bandit and use velcro tails or sticky notes.
Sidewalk Chalk Art: Give kids blue, orange, and red chalk to draw their favorite Bluey characters and scenes outside.
Paw Print Treasure Hunt: Hide paper paw prints or small Bluey-themed prizes around the yard or house. Kids can work in teams to find them all.
Bluey Goodie Bags: End the day with themed party bags – include stickers, bubbles, small toys, and perhaps a mini Bluey coloring sheet.

A Bluey-themed birthday is the perfect way to celebrate the joy of childhood, creativity, and family—just like the show itself. With these 20 party ideas, you don’t need to spend a fortune or stress about perfection. Kids remember the laughter, the play, and the love—so focus on creating those moments.

And remember: if things get a little silly or off-schedule, you’re doing it right. Just channel your inner Bandit and go with the flow.

Happy planning!
