The monthly magazine reflects the quirky, funny tone of the programme and is packed with different ways for young readers to explore activities independently. Every issue comes with a sticker sheet and the first issue includes a collectable ‘paint-your-own figurines’ set so fans create their very own Bluey and Bingo.

It’s great to finally give ‘little squirts’ (and let’s be honest, their parents too!) what they’ve been waiting for.”

Mandy Thwaites, Director, Magazines & Consumer Products, BBC Studios, added: “We’re delighted to work with Immediate to bring the new Bluey Magazine to shelves and can’t wait for you to see it. It’s packed full of exciting activities to keep your children entertained while learning, having fun and sharing their love for Bluey and her family.”
