You're invited to a party and here's your first clue. Blue and her friend___________ will
be waiting for you. It's ____________'s birthday and we're going to celebrate.
The party starts at _(time_) on (day)(date). The party is at __________'s
house (address) You won't want to be late. Blue hopes you're ready for fun 'cuz she
can't wait! P.s. Wear blue from head to shoe so Blue will recognize you!
Write the invitation on a notepad that tears off at the top. Usually Blue gives 3 clues so you could put the message on 3 papers to give the invitation the same format as the show. Put the notes inside a metallic blue mailing tube along with blue confetti, blue jelly beans or any blue candy, maybe a blue dog cut out of paper or doggie foot prints.
Decorations:
Tie helium balloons of different shades of
blue in clusters of 3 or 5 to the back or chairs or tucked into corners. Put blue
pawprints on the wall. Use 3 different areas of your home as party areas to
play games, make a craft, and eat. These 3 areas will be areas that that children will be
lead to by reading the Blue's clues. You may want to enlarge Blue so she can be in all the
Party areas. Use blue table cloth and decorations based on shades of blue, turquoise and
darker blues.
Cake and Food:
"Pawprint" made with a large round
cake for the main portion with cupcakes as the paw pads, all frosted in blue of course!
Color other foods blue. Serve a blue punch.
Goodie Bags:
Doggie Bag made from a blue lunch sack
or use a Shovel and Pail. Decorate them to look like Shovel and Pail. For the
goodies, make coloring books using resources online.

Games and Activities:
As guests arrive, Paint a blue paw print on
each child's cheek. This is blue's mark of friendship. Give each child a little notebook
and neat blue pencil and let them draw or write their own clues. Once most guests
arrive, Parent reads a clue from blue about how to celebrate ______________'s birthday
Depending on the size of the group, split the group in half or in small groups and give
each group an adult leader and a notebook with 3 clues (suggested number of activities.)
Snack Shack:
In advance, prepare several doz. sugar cookies cut out in the shape of a dog bone. Mix
prepared white frosting with blue food coloring. Have available several different kinds of
sprinkles and decorations. Using plastic knives, let the kids spread the frosting and
decorate their cookies. Place their cookies on a paper plate with their name on it. This
can be part of their loot when they go home with their "doggie bag."
Give each child a headband with blue dog ears (made of craft foam or construction paper). Let them decorate it with blue dots (those blue sticky dots used for labeling files available at office goods stores). You could also paint a blue dog nose on each child. A beaded necklace dog collar with metal i.d. tag (see Family.com's Puppy Party for details) will complete the look! Then the little ones can run around & pretend to be dogs for a while.
Doggie Dancing:
Tape songs from the show or websites listed above.
Blue scavenger hunt:
Let groups collect blue household items that they have to discover by reading clues. set a
time limit, and the groups that find everything on their list in the time given will be
the winners!
Outdoor fun:
Plan for the children to go outside for this activity. You can either mix a little blue
food coloring into a large bottle of bubbles. pour the mixture into Frisbees and using
different household objects like fly swatters, slotted spoons, potato mashers, etc. let
children make lots of bubbles. Or tape large pieces of white paper to the side of
the garage or house. make a blue rinse using water and blue tempera powder. Let kids paint
giant birthday pictures in the color blue!
Storytime with puppet show:
Make the puppets by printing characters off websites & laminating. Attach to
Popsicle sticks.
