Mission: Blues Clues Party 100bucks or less- craft project 1

OK here we go...First up The Handy Dandy Notebook from Blue's Clues. Cause what is a Blue's Clues Party without it? We will be using it to play Blue's Clues--leading to cake time
Supplies:
construction paper - 3 green - 4-6 yellow - 2 red
pipe cleaner 6 pieces
1 pencil
glue
scissors
hole punch
Total Cost of this project:
0bucks--I had all supplies already
If you have to buy these products no worries we be using them again with the other projects
Plan on spending around 7 bucks--that means you may have to hunt for good deals! Any of the office supplies like hole punch and scissors...ask around one of your friends most likely has what you need!

Step one:
Fold your green and yellow papers into four sections. Then cut the sections up and put them into piles for each book. You will need 2 green and at least 3 yellows for each book




Step Two: Hole punch 6 holes through all the pages of your book



Step Three: Using the pencil shape the pipe cleaner through the holes you just punched. Trim the pipe cleaner on the ends



Step Four: This part can be tricky...I cheated a bit, I googled the thinking chair found an image and semi traced it off my screen. Then I redrew it onto red construction paper and cut 6 chairs out(one for each book)



Step Five: You're almost done! Glue down your chair to the front of your book and let dry.



Step Six: Once your books are dry you can then write the children's names on the front of the book!



That's it your done! I put enough yellow paper in mine so they can play the game at the party and then again when they get home. This means it can double up as a goody bag item!

See you next time for Mission: Blue's Clues Party 100 bucks or less

  1. I remember when my now 9 yr. old granddaughter turned three and I did a Blues Clues party for her!
    One of the things I made was a feltboard with Mailbox on it. They played pin the arm on the mailbox, only because it was felt, it stuck on without pins!
