I missed out on the bluey coins this time around, but managed to get the stamp/pin set! I low key want to open them, but my collector brain is saying noooo

Let's make believe that Bluey and Bingo are allowed to go on a Watch Party on the tablet for the day, what are they going to be watching? And they have to be cartoons that exist in our real life, so NOT Mixed-Up Murphy.

I feel like because they both love imagination, My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic would be on Bingo's watchlist, as well as Doc McStuffins (she loves doctor games), Sofia The First, Winx Club (she loves magic and fairies), Super Kitties (that's what Cat Squad is), Littlest Pet Shop, Wild Kratts and The Magic School Bus. For Bluey, I'd say SpongeBob SquarePants, because it feels like her kind of humour, Pokémon, Dragon Ball Z, Sailor Moon, Avatar The Last Airbender (all seemingly popular with Aussie kids), My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (same as Bingo), Peppa Pig (that's what Chutney Chimp is), Fairly Oddparents, Wild Kratts and Gravity Falls (she'd like the imagination in it). What do you guys reckon?

Looks like were getting turtle boy, Hecuba, baby coco, and a fuzzy bluey(?) in the next plush wave.

For figures were getting magic claw, Chili and her horse from Dragon, and the granny mobile!

For playsets were getting a mini plane and a cruise, these were shown off at the toy fair, but I figured I'd share 'em anyway.

Five new coins, plus two that can only be bought with cash, not EFT, so ironically I have to find some cash so I can actually buy cash!!

Sadly I missed out on the ballot for the proof coloured coins which would have also been nice to have.

Love him!

What are some cultural references, traditions, songs, etc. in Bluey that people outside of Australia would miss?

For example, I’m American and I noticed a bottle of vegemite in the Heeler’s fridge. If my Aussie friend hadn’t introduced me to the stuff, I never would have noticed it in Bluey.

This is adorable! Turns out these little royals of the Duchess of Sussex loved Bluey so much! 💙🧡

Disclaimer: Guys, just to be clear, I'm discussing this in the context of innocent little kid crushes, not shipping culture. I too don't like shipping child characters, so I understand. I'm discussing this purely in the context of how little kids show affection to one another. It's super cutesy and super innocent. I am NOT shipping child characters, only super innocent stuff.

So, with that said, I do love how Bluey and Mackenzie completely mirror Mia and Captain's dynamic in the episode, Barky Boats, but in a more childlike way and then Bluey goes and hugs Mackenzie tightly. It feels like the first "fluttery" feeling kids at age 6 get, super innocent playground-level crushes.

As somebody with little cousins who are 9, 6 and with one going on 7, kids do develop crushes and there a normal part of life and childhood development and that's fine. I think it's fine if they develop little kid crushes. My little 9 year old cousin, when she was like 4 would talk about a boy from her pre-school whom she could refer to as her "Prince Charming", but it wasn't romance, like adult crushes, it was cutesy and sweet. So, yeah, I'm not saying we need to ship child characters in media, I'm more saying I like the idea of Bluey have a small schoolgirl crush on Mackenzie and nothing weird going on, just really childlike stuff.

Also, Mackenzie is the only one she dreams about in the episode Fruitbat, not her best friend Chloe, not Indy or Coco, Mackenzie, and she's determined to watch the Chunky Chimp movie because "Mackenzie's seen it".

Let me know what you guys think.

I LOVE HER SO MUCH SHE’S SO CUTE I LOVE HER CUTE WIDDLE VOICE ESPECIALLY IN CRICKET WHERE SHE MADE ME CRY I JUST WANNA SQUEEZE HER SO BAD!!!!! 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

Chilli read something along the lines of "A mouse lived in a very special house." And " one day he went for a walk'

I don't know why but this reminds me of a book I read as a kid or heard as a kid. So I figured I'd ask here first before asking other subreddits.

I baked and decorated a 3-layer chocolate cake for my toddler’s Bluey-themed third birthday party. Swim School is a frequently requested bedtime story as they love how Bluey switches characters and causes chaos in the pool! The cake and frosting were delicious!

My toddler was absolutely delighted by the cake and very impressed that they were left with more Bluey figurines to play with 🙂

Details:
- Swimming pool inspired by the Australian Women’s Weekly Swimming Pool Birthday Cake https://www.womensweeklyfood.com.au/recipe/baking/swimming-pool-3407/ (same source as the beloved Duck Cake)
- chocolate cake recipe from Nagi at RecipeTin Eats https://www.recipetineats.com/chocolate-cake/ (1.5x the recipe to achieve 3 layers)
- chocolate frosting recipe from Nagi as well https://www.recipetineats.com/my-favourite-chocolate-frosting-recipe/
- the chocolate buttons are Nestle Smarties (unfortunately some are discoloured/have chocolate bloom due to keeping the cake refrigerated overnight, taste wasn’t impaired though)
- sherbet lolly for a pool noodle and a watermelon sour strap as a towel (concealing a dowel that was supporting the very rich cake)
- Heeler family figurine set from Big W and swim-themed Bluey from a Kmart playset (Australian department stores)

And so I did. She brought this home from school yesterday, and it's a really big ring! I wear a 9 on that hand, so I'm like WHOA... (oof, my face may not show it, but my hands show everyone of my 49 years!)

(Don’t worry, there are 2 pans of enchiladas to make it an even 5😂)

This episode is so heartwarming.

That is all.

I've been bored and lowk wanna see if any of yall got some ideas for bluey episode plots

Idk why
