With the economy bearing down on us, the last thing that we can do is spend hundreds of money on cups, plates, napkins, table cloths etc. with our child's favorite cartoon character because they're just going to get thrown away at the end of the day. That is, as much as you'd want to do it anyway, the conomy really isn't letting ya.

But you can achieve the same birthday party that's all about Blue's Clues by making your own BLue's Clues Party supplies. You can draw your own paws on blue poster board, then cut them out and sprinkle them all throughout the party room. You can print out your own pin the clue on blue printable that Nick Jr. has available on their website. You can even bake your own paw cake. You do that by baking four cupcakes, and one circular cake. Then arrange the cupcakes above the round circle cake to make it look like a paw.

And below 30 bucks, you've already got three factors of your whole Blue's Clues party! But, there's more ideas that you could play around with, like your own Blue's Clues find a clue game!
