Pass The Parcel - A Parental Argument

The recent Bluey episode 'Pass The Parcel' has sparked a debate online about the ethics of parenting, and how to play the game fairly, as Lucky's dad had alternated the rules of Pass The Parcel every birthday party to have the kids win a prize at the end of every game. Well, to me, during every party, Bluey and I were playing with our friends, am I right or am I wrong?

ScreamBlue Challenge Day 12 - Zombie Derby & Rain

Today we're focusing on not only nature, but also how to apologise to someone if your friendship is ruined, because in 'Zombie Derby', Luke, Resus and Cleo spend more time apart. First, go all out in the rain and find the many wonderful ways you can do so, whether you're in your swimming cozzie or in your plastic macks. We've covered day spas in yesterday's challenge, so another one won't hurt - this time, this one is a jungle day spa, but it won't be complete without materials from nature like leaves and flowers, plus this DIY lavender vanilla bubble bath. For a second option, you can do a thunderstorm art project which explores mixing colours and cutouts to help learn about rain. Finally, as the earlier mentioned Scream Street episode sees Luke, Resus and Cleo far apart from each other, write a letter from Luke to Resus and Cleo apologising for time away due to the Zombie Derby.

I'm Sorry, Pooh...

I didn't mean to write in you. Mairi isn't taking me out on Thursday.
Instead, because Verandah Santa is airing on CBeebies in two days, I am taking time off...as all Pooh bears do.

ScreamBlue Challenge Day 11 - The Brown Lagoon & Pavlova

We're doing two of my favourite things today - going back to nature and doing whatever I want! To tie in with the theme of nature in The Brown Lagoon, let's find some waterfalls first. In order to find a waterfall, you have to make one using pebbles and water. Work it all off by smelling flowers - or better yet, engaging in sensory play with them. In my stories, Luke, Resus, Cleo and I love playing in open water, so set up a 'jungle day spa' in the bathroom using natural materials collected from nature, and a few animal toys placed with them, mainly jungle animals like elephants and hippos. To get back to reality again, have fun with suggestions for a yes day, such as ice cream for breakfast, getting dirty or going to a special restaurant. Whatever makes them a kid again, right?! RIGHT?!

What Would YOU Ask Tom & SARA?

No Christmas For Them This Year

The residents of Scream Street are going to defeat the Grumpus two times this year. Two days ago, they've defeated him once. Now, they're in danger of getting cancelled. This email Jo sent to me yesterday proves it.

MYATC Apology Christmas Craft - Snowglobe

I didn't do Me, You, And Transformers Cybertron today. Transformers is not very Christmassy - except for that two-part Transformers Animated episode where Optimus and the team become humans. Why can't Transformers celebrate Christmas? Luckily, I've got a craft for you lot to do...
Jetfire is curious to know how humans spend Christmas in Australia, so Furaha is showing him how to make a snowglobe - a shaky thing that produces snow around something! You can join in too - head over to the Bluey website and make a cool surfboarding Aussie Santa to place in your very own Verandah Santa snowglobe!

ScreamBlue Challenge Day 10 - The Creepy Creeper & Phones


We're going on a big adventure today, even when we're closer to home! Start off with this activity themed around the Bluey episode 'Grandad', where you and your child can take personal responsibility for packing a bag for an adventure outside the house. Next, the most essential gear on an adventure is food, so learn how to pack the perfect picnic for your adventure out the house. Finally, find the best hiking trails near you, especially some that aren't too far.
