That Blue Dog Party

Pop Culture events are guaranteed to draw crowds. This past spring I finally hosted my own blue dog party--an homage to the ever popular Australian cartoon. 

I knew attendance would be large so I had to design this event differently. I planned stations to be placed in the meeting room and children's section of each library. Ideally, the parents and kids would flow from one area to another. 

I found a lot of inspiration in librarian Facebook groups and from the official website. 

Here are the stations: 

Grannies Photo Booth 


Zoo

Bus

Keepy Uppy

Coloring & Headbands 

Scavenger Hunts (Long Dog and Gnomes 


Storytime: I read one story from Bluey Awesome Storybook Collection (Mum School, The Pool, Grannies, Bob Bilby, Charades, and Camping). 

Door Prizes: Wooden Gnomes to Paint 

I hosted four parties with a total attendance of 305 (about half of that number was children).
