Blue's Clues Cupcake.

For my son's party, I made a birthday cake for the guests and a cupcake for the birthday boy. Using the Blue's Clues calendar I bought from the Dollar Tree, I made a cupcake liner. Then we served the cake to my son in a blue dog bowl that I had personalized.

Blue's Clues Party Food.

I was dreaming blue for months when I was preparing for this party. Blue Hawaiian punch, I made blue dog bone sugar cookies, bought blue with white polka dotted napkins and plates from Target, served bagel wrapped mini hotdog's (made by Nathan's), potato chips, turkey wraps, cut up fresh fruit & vegetables. Dressed up the mustard bottle by tying paw print ribbon around it.

Blue's Clues Decorations.

My son turned three this year, and we had a Blue's Clues party for him. We were actually given a Steve shirt in a bag of hand me down clothes from a friend, which fit him perfectly! We held the party underneath a shelter at a local baseball field. I had made yards of bunting in shades of blue, subtly placing a number 3 on one triangle.

I painted several signs for the birthday boy, placing one on a red chair to label it the "Thinking Chair". We used that chair for our birthday boy to sit on while he opened his presents. I had picked up a Blue's Clues calendar from the Dollar Tree, and cut it up and decoupaged a large Christmas ornament. The paw print balloons came from our local party store, and I used large jars I already had that I stuffed with blue tissue paper as anchor weights. I used left over fabric from the bunting and tied it around anything I could.

Blue's Clues Games.

I had set up different stations for the kids since we had varying ages attend the party.

• We had a ring toss station. I recycled tin cans and wrapped scrapbook paper with a dog theme around the cans. The idea was to toss the ring around the cans to see which cans had a paw print underneath. Since my son was turning three, there were three paw prints hidden under three different cans.
• There was a bucket full of plastic balls and the idea was that each child had to dig through the balls to find three different balls with a paw print painted on it.
• We had a face painting station where kids were able to have a paw print painted on their cheek.
• I drew a large picture of Blue on poster board and each child had three chances to pin the paw on Blue.
• Each child was given a personalized favor bucket as soon as they came to the party. Inside their bucket was a personalized plastic cup, utensils, and a plate. They were also given a Handy Dandy notebook with a pack of crayons, a chocolate lollipop of a paw print, and a pack that they could glue together their own Blue face.
• The Handy Dandy notebook that came in their favor bucket was used to figure out what Blue wanted to do next after all the games had been played and it was time to eat. We had clues laid out throughout the party shelter. One was placed on the utensils, another was taped to a man's stomach, and the final clue was on the food table. The kid's figured out that Blue wanted to eat.
