Hi friends,
We’re bringing you a simple Bluey & Bingo craft, using paper, paint, and cotton balls. The idea came straight from the show’s opening credits and the cute doggy paws you see dancing around. We decided to use their names and colors representing their likeness on the paws.
My little guy STILL likes Bluey, so I’ll be making a few Bluey-inspired decorations for his upcoming birthday! One of them will use this craft as inspiration for a much larger poster, with his name spelled out much like Bluey’s = )

What You'll Need
White Construction Paper
(3) Shades of Blue + Tan Craft Paint or
(3) Shades of Peach + Ivory Craft Paint
Paint Brushes & Rinse Jar
(4) Cotton Balls + (1) Cotton Round
Paint Tray
Optional: Table Cover, Pencil
The Steps
We didn’t have all the colors needed so we mixed our own.
Pour a small amount of each paint color into the tray.
2. Decide which doggy you’d like to work on and the size & number of paws to make:
Naomi worked on Bingo’s paw- she dipped the cotton round in paint, then swirled a larger circle for the pad. She used the cotton balls for the smaller pads and dipped them in paint as well (1 small pad matches the color of the larger pad).
I used the same process to make Bluey’s paw- 1 small pad matches the color of the larger pad.
Optional: use a pencil to lightly write the letters for Bingo/Bluey or paint directly onto the paper.
3. BiNGO: make thick, rounded letters, keeping all the letters in caps minus the (i) and placing it a little higher than the other letters.
BLUEY: make thick, rounded letters, with the U placed a litter higher and the Y curving under the UE.
4. Let the paint dry for 5-10 minutes.
That’s it!
These came out cute!
Happy crafting!
Amanda and Naomi
