Blue's Clues Birthday Party Theme

Ages: 2 to 4

Invitation and Decorations Ideas:

Make invites that have a blue paw print on the front. On the inside write something like "Blue would like to do something, can you figure it out from the clues?" Then have a picture of a cake, a party hat and a present all with a small blue paw print on them and put something like, "Blue wants you to come to (child's name) birthday!" Put blue paw prints on the ground leading to the party area and on the door, so that the kids know where Blue would like them to go. If you have and toys that are characters from Blue's Clues use them to decorate throughout the party area. Make or decorate the mailbox to look like Mailbox from the show. Put the goodie bags inside it for the kids to find at the end of the party.

Games and Activities:

Finding Clues to Games: As the children arrive give each of them a notebook and large crayon. Explain that they need to find clues to figure out what they would be doing first at the party. Before the party you will want to tape a blue paw print on a CD, chair and CD player. Help the kids find the clues and figure out that you will be playing musical chairs. Play musical chairs.

After playing musical chairs tell them that they again need to find out what Blue would like to do. Make sure there are blue paw prints on a potato, a circle, and the oven (this may be a bit hard for really young kids so help them out). When they figure it out have the kids play Hot Potato.

Again tell the kids that they need to find out what Blue would like to do. Put blue paw prints on a box of crayons, a piece of paper and some markers. Give the kids coloring sheets (can be printed from nickjr.com) and let them color.

Food Ideas:

Serve food in red buckets made to look like Pail with yellow shovels. Serve anything you can think of that is blue: blue punch, blue candies, blue popsicles etc. Make a sand pudding cake to be served in Pail. To make the cake crush about 6 graham crackers and mix them with a bit of sugar. Put this in the bottom of a clean red bucket. Put a layer of vanilla pudding next, add a few gummy candies. Then add a layer of crushed candy bars. Then another layer of graham cracker crumbs, followed by pudding, gummy candies, crushed candy bars and so on until you fill the bucket. Make sure the top layer is graham cracker crumbs so that it looks like sand.
