Bluey Activities and Crafts

by

I know a lot of older kids watch Bluey, but my daughter never really has, so I’m a bit behind on all the love for this Australian series about a family of dogs. I’ve actually seen most of the Bluey I’ve seen in the waiting room at her doctor’s office, but I know it’s a very sweet and real (for being about animated dogs) show that includes all the themes you’d expect from a little kid’s show, with a healthy dose of mom and dad are doing the best they can, which I love.

Grab some Bluey alphabet printables from My Happy Printables to decorate your learning space or to spell out basic words with your little ones.

Brightly has a nice collection of free printable coloring and activity pages related to Bluey, as well as a 25 page PDF activity kit. The kit includes crafts, a nature scavenger hunt, a foldable fortune teller, memory game, coloring pages and more. I love the DIY bean bag toss activity included (it’s made out of a large cardboard box).

Leslie B Style on Etsy has some cute worksheets for practicing the alphabet with a Bluey twist, with letters standing for things from the show, like R is for Rusty and K is for keepy uppy. And Kids Korners has ABC flashcards with elements like A is for Australia and G is for grannies. So cute!

Once Upon a Theme Park has a printable Bluey word search, and the Bluey web page actually has a bunch of great activities and crafts with a Bluey twist. Learn how to draw Bluey and other characters, find printable bingo cards to use as you watch episodes, get instructions on how to play games included in the show and more.

Learn how to make these adorable Bluey plushies from felt with the patterns from . This is a great one for older kids (or adults!) to make and little ones to play with. Act out episodes or just add them to your storytelling basket. Or get out the melty beads and make these Bluey Perler bead projects collected by Julie Ann Art. The Bluey and Bingo shown here are form Frugal Fun for Boys and Girls. DIY Candy has another collection of Bluey Perler bead patterns.

This page is about Bluey themed birthday party decorations, but it has a printable activity mat that might be fun for the car or when you’re waiting for dinner. It includes a maze and word search as well as spaces for tic tac toe and the dot/box game. You can download these and other fun Bluey printables from Ellie Rose Party Designs.

Corn Learning Activities

Years ago I did a post all about using Indian corn (or flint corn) in learning activities, but I don’t think I’ve ever done a post about regular corn learning activities, so let’s get into it. 

Print out this corn number recognition activity from I Heart Crafty Things and use yellow dot stickers for kids to match and cover the numbers from 2 to 12 that they get when rolling dice. Or do some corn kernel math with these ideas from Gift of Curiosity. Kids can guess how many kernels are in a cup or bowl, then count them, and learn about grouping 5 or 10 kernels together and using skip counting to count faster if they’re ready for that. 

I think the only language arts corn learning activity I found was this letter recognition activity from My Pre K Box. Print out the corn shape and use round stickers to match the letter on the kernel to the one on the sticker. 

I found a lot of printables that include the life cycle of corn and other activities, like this one from MomBrite, which includes a word search and other activities; or this 16-page Montessori inspired corn unit study that includes life cycle, labeling, three part cards and more from Only Passionate Curiosity; or the corn worksheets from Simple Everyday Mom, which includes writing practice, a letter identification maze and a label the parts of corn worksheet. 

Tina’s Dynamic Homeschool Plus has a free for subscribers printable life cycle foldout that is a fun way to present the information. They used it in a sensory bin but you can just use it as a part of teaching about corn if you’d rather. 

Dancing corn is a classic science activity done with baking soda and vinegar. Get the instructions from Fun Learning for Kids.

Kids Konnect has a set of printables and facts all about corn mazes, which is fun if going to a corn maze is part of your fall tradition. 

And you can craft a funny ear of corn with this printable from Craft Corner DIY.
