2021 has proven to be an exciting year for Blue Peter - first Radzi returned, then there was a relaxed show celebrating Lunar New Year (Ni Hao!) and now, Blue Peter is celebrating everything Tracy Beaker! I bet Jacqueline Wilson is watching right now and thinking "Tracy's getting all the attention she deserves. She is my most popular character after all." Since Tracy is my favourite CBBC classic character besides Arthur and Young Dracula, celebrate Blue Peter and Tracy Beaker coming together with a fun party you can celebrate at home!
Find some fun birthday decorations which you can lay with various Tracy Beaker and Blue Peter imagery, then make some pink and blue party hats with the Blue Peter symbol or Tracy's image on them. For food, you could try Tracy's favourite foods, including a delicious Funfetti cake, or a Shelley-Bration cake, because Shelley was around when Tracy Beaker aired in reruns, and even when Tracy Beaker Returns premiered in 2010. There's also recipes for party food themed around Tracy's favourite foods, including Smarties cookies, Mars Bars brownies, popcorn, Spider Jellies (a substitute for Jelly Spiders since I can't find any recipes themed around the sweet), Cornettos, burgers, French fries and strawberry milkshakes. Pop on episodes of The Story Of Tracy Beaker on the iPlayer app and - Henry's your uncle - you've got a perfect Beaker-Peter party!
Watch the Blue Peter Tracy Beaker Takeover on iPlayer. This is the best Blue Peter show they've ever produced besides Radzi's return and their behind the scenes looks at Scream Street and Strange Hill High:
I can't believe Tracy Beaker is that old, probably because the original series is on iplayer.
