Why This Morning's Bluey Episodes Make The Perfect Lineup

 

  • BBQ - Bingo, Bluey, Muffin and Socks wait patiently for lunch to be ready while playing at being in a barbecue themselves and making a salad. Bingo gets into trouble! The episode shows the basics of having a sizzling hot barbecue outside and lazing around while waiting for the sausages and salad to be served. Barbecues are very popular in Australia, as is Bluey.
  • Butterflies - Bluey, Bingo and Judo play a snuggly game about the metamorphosis of a caterpillar into a butterfly. When I first heard of this, I thought it was about Bluey and Bingo playing in butterfly fairy costumes, but I was wrong - you don't need costumes to play in Bluey, just a cosy hammock and lots of sunshine!
  • The Pool - Bluey, Bingo and Dad play in Uncle Stripe's pool on a hot day. Everything near the pool looks like a zen garden had been built near Uncle Stripe's abode, and water is familiar to me since I use characters playing in water in my stories, like in Me, You, And..., The 'Hood and I.B.F.Fs.
  • The Creek - I've ALWAYS wanted to visit this place, as do you lot. Bluey, Bingo, Mackenzie and Dad escape the confines of modern life and enjoy the sensuality and gentleness of the natural world around them in the creek, from the water to the leaves. Some of you think Dad put the kids in danger, but I think it isn't dangerous because there are no saltwater crocodiles where the friends play, they skim stones, sail boats, make a dam and host a day spa in the water, and it's officially confirmed that Mackenzie is a boy. I'm not kidding, he really is!
  • Backpackers - Bluey, Bingo, Muffin and Socks hold tight to Mum and Dad as they act out flashbacks of them going on an adventure around the world in their own backyard in order to not only tell them about other parts of the world, but to tell them how they breastfed them as babies. No, really, Muffin and Socks were breastfed by Aunt Trixie, but you can find out more about how Aunt Trixie breastfed Muffin and Socks when I release the The 'Hood episode 'Breastfeeding'.
  • Camping - Another natural episode to go alongside Shadowlands, The Creek and Fruit Bat, Bluey and her family camp out and Bluey befriends a black Labrador named Jean-Luc. They teach each other how to survive in the wild and hunt for food when things become scarce - well, rather, knock down Dad as he's fetching water. My favourite scene in the episode is the differences between the two families having dinner at night - while Bluey and her family have a campfire and roast marshmallows, Jean-Luc and his mum and dad have dinner at the table while Jean-Luc talks about his new friend. Australia is all about diversity, as I've found out while watching videos and seeing websites themed about ABC Kids and ABC Me.
