25 Fun And Tasty Bluey Food Ideas For A Party Every Kid Will Love

Contents show

Planning a Bluey-themed party is more than just picking bright colors and playing the catchy theme song on repeat. It’s about serving up treats that make little ones squeal with joy, while also giving parents a sense of relief—because, let’s be real, we’re all balancing about a million things, and the last thing we need is a Pinterest fail that ends in tears (ours or theirs!).

So whether you’re all about healthy bites or sweet treats, this listicle has you covered. Let’s celebrate our favorite blue heeler in style—bones, paw prints, and all!

Bluey’s Bone-Shaped Sandwiches

Ever tried using a cookie cutter on something that’s already squishy, like bread? The first time I attempted this, I found myself muttering, “Who needs perfect shapes?” But don’t worry—it gets easier with practice, and kids could not care less if the edges are a little wonky. They just see the fun doggy-bone shape and scarf them down!

Bread Options: Whole wheat, white, or even gluten-free. Pick whatever works for your family.
Fillings: Go classic with peanut butter and jelly, or switch it up with turkey and cheese.
Kid Involvement: Hand them the cookie cutter and let them stamp out the shapes—they’ll be super proud of their own creations.

Healthy Upgrade: Add thin cucumber slices or a touch of spinach in the sandwich to sneak in a veggie.
Extra Tip: If you’re left with scraps of bread, use them for breadcrumbs or throw them into a bread pudding later.

Let’s be honest: You’ll probably have a few questionable attempts, but each “bone” is going to make your little Bluey fans beam.

Bingo’s Bright Fruit Salad

I’m all about fruit salads that actually look like someone put some love into them—no more tossing random chunks into a bowl and calling it a day. Bingo’s world is cheerful and spirited, so we’ve got to match that vibe with colors galore. Picture a rainbow in a bowl, sweet enough to make kids forget they’re eating something healthy!

Fruit Mix: Grapes, strawberries, blueberries, mango, pineapple, and kiwi. Aim for at least five different colors.
Dressing: A light drizzle of honey mixed with a little plain or vanilla yogurt. It’s sweet but not overpowering.

Presentation: Arrange the fruit by color in concentric circles or fun patterns to mirror Bluey’s bright setting.
Avoiding Sogginess: Pat fruit dry before mixing, especially if you’ve just washed it.
Time-Saving Trick: Prep everything the night before (minus the banana or apple slices that might brown). Store in a sealed container and give a quick stir before serving.

You’ll be the star of the party when kiddos see this vibrant bowl. And for the picky eaters—don’t worry, they’ll likely pick out their favorites, but at least they’ll still be munching on fresh fruit.

Paw Print Cookies

You know that moment when you set out to bake with the kids and about five minutes in, flour is flying everywhere, and somehow you’re wearing half the sugar? Yep, been there. But these paw print cookies are totally worth the clean-up. There’s just something about decorating cookies that never gets old, even if they come out looking more “abstract art” than “Pinterest perfect.”

Base Dough: A basic sugar cookie recipe works like a charm. It’s simple, sweet, and easy for shaping.

Icing Essentials: Whip up a quick batch of royal icing or buy ready-made icing tubes in different colors.
Creating Paw Prints: Use a round cookie cutter, then pipe four small toe beans and one larger pad in icing.
Kids in Charge: Let them swirl, dab, or dot icing. It’s messy, but it’s a fun creativity boost.

Storage: If you want to bake ahead, the cookies freeze great without the icing. Decorate them closer to party time.

Don’t be surprised if adults sneak more than one cookie, too. They’re just that cute—and delicious.

Muffin Pups

My muffin tins have been through it all: cupcakes, mini meatloaves, and even failed egg bites. But mini muffins—ah, that’s a solid win every time. They’re easy to hold, easy to eat, and can be tailored to just about any flavor your crowd likes.

Pick Your Base: You can go sweet with blueberry or banana, or savory with cheese and spinach.
Playful Flavors: Name them after Bluey characters—“Chilli’s Chocolate,” “Bandit’s Banana,” etc.—to keep the theme going.
Top It Off: Add sprinkles, mini chocolate chips, or sesame seeds, depending on sweet vs. savory.

Kids Help: They’ll love stirring the batter and sprinkling on the toppings (just brace yourself for a floury kitchen aftermath).
Freezing Tip: If you’re making them well in advance, muffins freeze beautifully. Just thaw them overnight or warm in the oven before the party.

Little hands love little muffins, and your guests will appreciate these bite-sized treats that don’t require a fork.

Pizza Paws

When I first heard of paw-shaped pizza dough, I thought, “That’s adorable, but who has time for that?” Turns out it’s not too complicated, and the kids go absolutely wild for it. Any pizza that looks like a paw is automatically more fun—no question about it.

Dough Shortcuts: Use store-bought dough if you’re short on time; no shame in that.
Shape Magic: Roll out small circles, then gently form three “toe” bumps at the top. Imperfect shapes add character!

Creative Toppings: For a balanced bite, go for tomato sauce, cheese, and at least one veggie. Pepperoni or ham can serve as paw pad decorations.
Kid Assembly: Let them pick toppings and place them on each toe pad. The sense of ownership might even get them to eat the veggies.
Serving Idea: Provide a variety of dipping sauces—marinara, ranch, or garlic butter—for an extra layer of fun.

These paw pizzas will be the talk of the party, and you can feel like a crafty superstar—at least for the day.

Bluey Cupcake Creations

Cupcakes are one of those party staples that never disappoint, but to really capture the Bluey spirit, it’s all in the decorations. I once tried making elaborate fondant characters—let’s just say my resulting lumps were more “monstery” than “cute.” So if you’re not into advanced sugar sculpting, don’t worry; there are easier ways to achieve the Bluey vibe.

Frosting Colors: Stick to pastel blues and yellows to mimic Bluey’s fur. You can also add sprinkles for extra flair.

Themed Toppers: Edible wafer images or paper cupcake picks with Bluey’s face are a game-changer.
Flavor Fun: Vanilla is always kid-approved, but a hint of lemon zest in the batter can add a refreshing twist.
Batch Baking: Cupcakes freeze nicely if unfrosted. Bake them ahead, then decorate on party day.

Kid-Approved: Let children swirl the frosting on top. It’s messy, but hey, it builds memories!

Even if your swirl isn’t bakery-perfect, the kids will still dive in face-first—frosting smears and all.

Veggie Patch Platter

I can’t count how many times I’ve tried to convince my kids that vegetables can be fun. But arrange them in a playful pattern, and suddenly carrots are “cool.” Think of this as creating a mini produce masterpiece—almost like you’re helping Bingo set up a garden, but on a platter.

Veggie Variety: Carrots, cucumbers, bell peppers, cherry tomatoes—go for vibrant hues that match Bluey’s bright palette.
Dips: Ranch, hummus, and guacamole tend to get the best reception from picky eaters.
Creative Layout: Arrange veggies in the shape of Bluey’s face or simply make circles of color to reflect her cheerful world.

Easy Prep: Chop veggies the night before to keep day-of stress low.
Serving Tip: Use small containers for dips, spread them around the platter, and watch the lines form.

It’s a sneaky way to bring nutrition into a sugar-laden day. And trust me, once you call it a “Veggie Patch,” kids get curious and actually start sampling.

Heeler Hot Dogs

Hot dogs at a kid’s party? Not exactly revolutionary, I know. But with a playful spin, you can transform them from “meh” to “memorable.” If you’re anything like me, you love when a quick fix turns into something that makes kids giggle—and with minimal effort, too.

Bun Alternatives: Consider pretzel rolls, Hawaiian buns, or even tortillas to wrap the dog—variety keeps things interesting.
Condiment Bar: Ketchup, mustard, relish, maybe a special “Bluey sauce” (which might just be mayo with a dash of food coloring).

Toppings: Cheese, onions (if the kiddos can handle it), or even bacon bits for a fun crunch.
DIY Station: Let each child (with a grown-up’s help) build their own hot dog. They’ll have fun layering on their favorites.
Allergy-Friendly: Keep a stock of chicken or veggie dogs for those with dietary restrictions.

Serve them up with a punny name—“Heeler Hot Dogs”—and you’ve got yourself a quick crowd-pleaser.

Rainbow Popsicles

There’s something about popsicles that make them a go-to for any warm-weather gathering. They also take me back to childhood, where colorful frozen treats could solve all problems—at least temporarily! For a Bluey bash, you can create rainbow or layered popsicles that feel extra celebratory.

Fruit Purees: Strawberries, mango, blueberries—blend each fruit separately with a little water or juice.

Layering Method: Pour one color in, freeze for about 30 minutes, then add the next color. It takes patience, but the final result is oh-so-cool.
Healthy Twist: Mix yogurt into one of the layers or use coconut water for a hydrating option.
No Molds?: Use paper cups and popsicle sticks in a pinch.

Party Bonus: Kids have a blast showing off their “rainbow tongues” after a few licks.

They’re bright, sweet, and refreshing—perfect for an afternoon of dancing around like Bluey.

DIY Bluey Bento Boxes

Bento boxes might sound fancy, but trust me, they can be as low-key or as detailed as you want. I love them because it’s basically a grown-up lunchable with flair, and we all know how much kids adore lunchables.

Compartment Love: Fill each section with something different—bite-sized sandwiches, fruit, cheese cubes, or veggie sticks.
Bluey Shapes: Use cookie cutters to make bone-shaped cucumber slices or Bluey-face cheese cutouts.
Go Nuts with Themes: Separate compartments could represent different episodes—like a fruit salad for the “Fruit Bat” episode or mini cookies for “Magic Xylophone.”

Meal Prep Dream: Make them in the morning, pop them in the fridge, and they’re good to go for party time.
Reuse: Bento boxes double as favor boxes if you let the kids take them home.

It’s a neat way to keep all the little munchies in order, and it saves you from the dreaded “my grapes touched my crackers!” meltdown.

Fruit Skewers with a Bluey Twist

For some reason, eating fruit off a stick just feels more exciting—at least that’s what my kids tell me. Also, it helps that skewers look fun on a buffet table. You can even pop them into a foam block or vase for a bright, edible centerpiece.

Color Coordination: Focus on Bluey’s palette—blue (blueberries) and orange (melon or peaches) with accents of green grapes or kiwi.
Safety First: Use blunt-ended skewers or even short straw-like skewers for smaller hands.

Dip Options: A honey-yogurt dip or melted chocolate to drizzle can add extra fun.
Fast Assembly: Cut fruit into similar sizes the night before. Then just skewer them the next day.
Name Game: Call them “Bingo’s Rainbow Wands” or something equally fun to tie in the theme.

Watch kids parade around with their fruit sticks like they’re magic wands—hard to complain about that!

Rainbow Wraps

I’ve learned that if you roll healthy stuff in a tortilla, it suddenly becomes “cool.” Especially when you say it’s “rainbow”—kids are magnetically drawn to anything with colors. Think of these wraps as a practical lunch that doubles as festive party food.

Tortilla Choices: Spinach, tomato, or regular flour tortillas. Multiple colors mean more “rainbow.”

Colorful Fillings: Shredded carrots, lettuce, bell peppers, purple cabbage—whatever you can find in bright hues.
Protein Punch: Strips of chicken, deli turkey, or even roasted chickpeas for vegetarians.
Cut and Display: Slice wraps into pinwheels and arrange them in a spiral.

Party Trick: Label them with cute names like “Bluey’s Bright Roll-Ups.”

They’re healthy-ish, portable, and oh-so-photogenic for your party spread.

Bluey’s Doggie Dip

Let’s be real: dips make everything taste better. Throw some chips or veggies around a dip, and it feels like a mini party every time someone takes a scoop. This “Doggie Dip” idea just adds a playful, canine-inspired twist.

Base Options: Guacamole, hummus, or a simple ranch dip. Choose your favorite or serve multiple.
Decorate: Use thinly sliced olives or veggies to create a dog face on top—eyes, nose, maybe some ears.
Dip Trio: If you have multiple bowls, label them “Bluey,” “Bingo,” and “Bandit” to stick with the theme.

Edible Scoops: Pita chips, carrot sticks, or mini bell pepper halves for a crunchy base.
Serving Tip: Keep at least one dip mild and one a bit tangy or spicy for the older crowd.

It’s quick, it’s fun, and nobody will judge if you catch yourself double-dipping by the end of the party.

Mini Burger Bonanza

Mini burgers, sliders, call them what you will—they’re bite-sized and completely party-friendly. Even the pickiest eaters often give them a pass because they look so darn cute.

Patty Choices: Beef, turkey, chicken, or veggie. Aim for small, flat patties that fit the mini buns.
Assembly Line: Set out buns, lettuce, tomato, cheese slices (cut to mini size), and condiments.

Themed Names: Try “Heeler Hamburgers” or “Bluey’s Little Bites.” Kids get a kick out of thematic naming.
Cook in Batches: If you’re feeding a crowd, consider using the oven or a large griddle to speed up cooking.
Personalize: Each child can grab a bun and build their burger just how they like it—less complaining, more eating!

They’re handheld, straightforward, and definitely Instagram-worthy if you’re into capturing every moment.

Pasta Party Salad

I used to think pasta salad was just for picnics, but I’ve realized it’s a rockstar at parties too—especially for kiddos. You can eat it cold, it’s filling, and you can stash all kinds of goodies in there.

Noodle Fun: Pick shapes like bow ties or spirals—kids love the funky textures.

Colorful Add-Ins: Tomatoes, cucumbers, olives, shredded carrots, and maybe mini mozzarella balls.
Dressing: A simple Italian dressing or a mix of olive oil, vinegar, and herbs does the trick.
Make It Advance: Pasta salad actually tastes better when flavors meld for a few hours in the fridge.

Serving Side: Consider placing extra toppings in small bowls. Some kids might skip the onions or olives, while others might pile them on.

It’s low-maintenance and super cheerful—just like Bluey’s whimsical world, but in edible form.

Blueberry Muffin Magic

Everyone loves a good blueberry muffin, but for a Bluey party, let’s up the color factor. My secret? A drizzle of icing tinted in a pale blue. It’s the simplest way to say, “We’re on theme, folks!”

Batter Basics: A simple muffin mix or your favorite scratch recipe with fresh or frozen blueberries.
Add Some Sparkle: Edible glitter or blue sugar sprinkles can turn ordinary muffins into party-worthy treats.
Optional Twist: Fold in a dollop of lemon zest for a fresh zing that pairs well with blueberries.

Kid Helpers: Let them drop the berries into the batter—it’s almost like a treasure hunt for them.
Presentation: Use blue or polka-dot liners. A matching liner goes a long way in the “ooh-ahh” factor.

The moment that blueberry juice oozes out and stains the muffin, you’ll get all the “mmm!” sounds from around the table.

Cupcake Cones

Cupcakes are great, ice cream cones are great—so why not mash them together? When I first heard of this idea, I was skeptical. But seeing the kids’ faces as they try to figure out if it’s ice cream or a cupcake is priceless.

Cone Selection: Use flat-bottomed cones so they can stand on their own.
Filling: Spoon your cupcake batter into the cones about halfway. Carefully place them upright in a muffin tin.

Baking: Watch them closely. They might take a bit longer to bake than standard cupcakes.
Frosting Swirl: Pipe frosting on top to mimic soft-serve ice cream.
Mess Control: Stand them in a sturdy tray or special holder to prevent toppling—trust me, they will topple if left unchecked.

Serve them with little spoons or let kids dive in face-first. Either way, you’ll be the cool parent who merges two treats into one.

Ice Cream Sundae Bar

Sometimes you just want to watch kids’ eyes light up as they load up on sprinkles. If you’re okay with a little sugar rush, an interactive sundae bar is a must. It’s reminiscent of that feeling you got as a kid when your parents said you could add “just one more” topping.

Base Flavors: Vanilla, chocolate, maybe a fun flavor like birthday cake or cotton candy to stay on theme.

Toppings Galore: Crushed cookies, sprinkles, chocolate syrup, fruit pieces, whipped cream—the works.
Bluey Flair: Add small plastic Bluey figurines to the display, or label toppings with Bluey character names.
Allergy Note: Keep nut-free toppings separate to avoid cross-contamination.

Serving Tips: Set the bar outside or on an easily washable surface—things get sticky fast.

Kids will go nuts layering flavors, and let’s be honest, so will the adults!

Blue Punch Party Bowl

Nothing says “festive” like a bright blue drink in a big punch bowl. I remember the first time I served blue punch, the kids acted like it was a magical potion. It’s a simple way to amp up the party atmosphere.

Punch Base: Lemonade or a lemon-lime soda with a drop or two of blue food coloring.
Fruit Add-Ins: Add pineapple chunks or orange slices to float around, adding color and flavor.
Ice Ring: Freeze fruit in a ring mold with water or juice, then plop it in the punch to keep things cool.

Serve Safely: Consider smaller cups to cut down on spills—and sugar intake.
Refill Strategy: Keep extra punch in the fridge so you can top up the bowl without pausing the fun.

Every time someone scoops a ladleful into their cup, it feels like they’re partaking in something extra special.

Cookie Decorating Station

Warning: If you’re type A about mess, maybe skip this one. But if you can handle a little chaos, a DIY cookie decorating station is basically a party within a party. Set out plain cookies, icing, and sprinkles, and watch the creativity (and sugar) flow.

Cookie Shapes: Paw prints, bones, or simple circles. Something that ties into Bluey or is easy to decorate.
Colorful Icings: Blue, orange, yellow—match the characters’ colors for extra theme points.

Decor Toppings: Sprinkles, mini marshmallows, chocolate chips—let them go wild.
Kid Control: Provide aprons or at least old T-shirts to save clothes from the inevitable icing smears.
Take-Home Treat: Let them bag their cookies to bring home, doubling as a party favor.

Sure, you’ll find sprinkles in your carpet for days, but you’ll also have created some sweet memories—pun intended.

Cake Pop Paws

Cake pops might feel a bit more advanced, but trust me, once you get the hang of rolling the cake mixture, you’ll wonder why you waited so long to try. Plus, kids go bananas for them since they’re basically “cake on a stick.”

Cake Base: Bake any flavor cake, then crumble it up and mix with frosting to form dough-like balls.

Shape It: Roll into round shapes, then press on a few smaller balls of dough for the paw toes if you’re feeling extra crafty.
Dip & Decorate: Melt candy melts in Bluey colors (soft blues, oranges). Dip the pops, then add candy or icing details to form paw prints.
Stick Trick: Dip the tip of each stick in melted candy before inserting it into the cake ball—helps it stay put.

Drying Rack: Styrofoam blocks or a cake pop stand keep them upright while the coating sets.

They’re a cute, handheld sweet, and the paw design ties perfectly into the theme.

Jiggly Jello Cups

Jello is like the comedic relief of any party spread—wiggly, jiggly, and guaranteed to make someone giggle as it plops onto a plate. For a Bluey party, you can layer or color them to match the show’s palette.

Color Layers: Blue on bottom, orange on top, or vice versa. For multiple layers, let each color set before adding the next.
Fruit Bits: Add some chopped fruit in the bottom layer for texture and a burst of flavor.
Serving Cups: Clear plastic cups let everyone see the cool layers—and they’re easy to toss afterward.

Toppings: A dollop of whipped cream or a gummy candy on top can jazz it up.
Kid Appeal: The wiggling alone draws them in, but the bright colors seal the deal.

Just watch for the occasional “Oops!” as cups can be slippery. But hey, that’s half the fun.

Themed Sugar Cookies

While we already covered paw print cookies, sugar cookies are so versatile, they deserve another nod. If you’re feeling crafty, you can branch out into shapes like dog houses, bones, or even the main characters. But if you’re like me and not a pro decorator, keep it simple.

Dough Flavor: Classic vanilla sugar cookie dough works best.
Shapes Galore: Bone cutters, paw cutters, or just circles you can decorate with character faces.
Icing Strategy: Outline in a thicker icing, then flood the middle with a thinner icing.
Dry Time: Royal icing can take a while to fully set, so plan accordingly.
Easy Alternative: If you’re short on time, skip elaborate designs and just color your icing to coordinate with Bluey’s scheme.

The satisfaction of seeing a tray of theme-coordinated cookies is so worth it—even if they’re not 100% professional, they’ll still make your table pop.

Veggie Chips with a Twist

If there’s one thing I love, it’s crunchy snacks that don’t make me feel guilty. Homemade veggie chips are a game-changer because you control the oil and the seasonings. Kids might even eat them because they have that chip-like appeal.

Veggie Choices: Thinly slice carrots, zucchini, sweet potatoes, or beets.
Seasoning: A light drizzle of olive oil, salt, and maybe a sprinkle of mild chili powder or garlic powder.
Oven Time: Bake at a low temperature until crispy. Keep an eye on them—they can go from perfect to burnt in seconds.
Party Trick: Serve in small cones or cups for easy grab-and-go.
Talking Point: “Did you know these are actually veggies?!” might shock some kids into trying them.

They’re tasty, they’re colorful, and they stand out in a sea of typical party snacks.

DIY Candy Bags

Finally, a sweet send-off—because what’s a kid’s party without goodie bags, right? Rather than pre-pack a bag of random candy, make it an activity. It’s like hitting a candy store, but without the line or the big bill.

Candy Choices: Gummy bears, jelly beans, mini chocolates—think colorful and varied.
Bluey Twist: Include candies in Bluey’s color scheme or toss in small stickers of Bluey characters.
Decorate the Bag: Provide markers and stickers so each child can personalize a small paper or plastic bag.
Portion Control: Set out little scoops so kids don’t overfill (although who are we kidding—they’ll still go wild).
Keep it Organized: Label each bag so you don’t have tears when someone picks the wrong one by mistake.

This doubles as an easy party favor—just make sure they don’t all eat it at once on the car ride home (your fellow parents will thank you).

And there you have it—25 fun, kid-friendly Bluey-inspired snacks and treats that are sure to delight your little party-goers (and maybe even some grown-up fans, too!). Whether you’re pulling off a Pinterest-worthy spread or flying by the seat of your pants, the most important thing is that you and your kids have a blast. So turn on some music, embrace the mess, and get cooking. Here’s to a party filled with laughter, colorful creations, and sweet memories—Bluey would approve!
