Party Ideas
If you've got the time and the energy, here's
an excellent idea for a Blue's Clues invitation. You'll need four different
postcards for each invitee. Each postcard will have a different clue (Blue
usually gives three clues) and the fourth will be the real invitation. (Mail the
postcards every other day for a week - enough time before the party - and don't
forget to put a paw print on each postcard).
First clue: A drawing or picture of a birthday
cake and something saying "Blue left you a clue, do you see? A birthday cake for
you and me! Two more clues you need to find, to figure out what Blue has on her
mind!"
Second clue: A drawing or picture of balloons
and something that might say: "It's clue number two! There are so many balloons
you see, now you need to look for clue number three!"
Third Clue: Print out a picture of your kid
with his/her face cut out and you can say something like: "Sit down in your
thinking chair and think, think, think.... What could Blue want you to do? Come
to a Birthday Party! But for who?"
The last invitation can say: "Did you figure
out Blue's Clues? Yup!! You're right, kid's name is having a birthday party",
then write the date, time, address etc.
A terrific Blue Clues child party idea is to
decorate the birthday area with all different of shades of blue and white
balloons and streamers. You can also hang light-blue and dark-blue streamers
from the doorway for a "curtain" effect. Use blue tablecloth and whatever other
decorations you can dream of with shades of blue and turquoise. Also, you can
draw large spirals on a sheet of light blue and dark blue paper and cut along
the spiral to hang from the ceiling.
Take out any Blue's Clues theme related toys
and accessories and scatter them across the house, on shelves, tables, in the
yard, etc. Table centerpieces can be red pails and yellow shovels (standing for
Shovel and Pail) filled with stuffed characters from the show. You can also
decorate a clock just like Tickety-Tock.
In the entrance to your house, put up
"Mailbox" by taking an old mailbox (or any cardboard box), spray painting it
purple and using colored craft foam and wiggly eyes.
Use blue chalk to draw paw prints leading to
your house and cut out paw prints to hang all over the walls and floor.
The family room can be transformed into
Steve's living room by putting a red sheet over an arm chair and transforming it
into "Thinking Chair".
