This Bluey Toy Has a Secret Feature We Love, and You Can Get It by Christmas

In the blink of an eye, we went from “early” holiday shopping to wondering, “Can I rent Santa's reindeer for last-minute shipping?” In situations like this, it's best to take a deep breath and think, “What would Bluey’s parents do?” And we think Bandit and Chilli Heeler, the very reasonable yet extremely fun parents of everyone’s favorite Australian puppies, would calmly search the internet, find this very clever model of their home, and click “add to cart” immediately.

If you’re buying a gift for a kid who’s anywhere from 3 to around 7 or 8 years old, chances are they already adore "Bluey." The TV show, which airs on Disney and streams on Disney+ in the U.S., is aimed at younger children, and yet even adults and teens get drawn into its good-natured humor and the absolutely infectious laughter of Bluey and her little sister, Bingo. Kids probably wish they could join the pups for a playdate, and parents wish we could be as good at this child-raising thing as those on-screen dogs. 

To buy: Bluey Heeler Family Home and Outdoor BBQ Set, $60; amazon.com

We grown-ups can, at least, re-create some of that sweet magic with the Bluey Heeler Family Home and Outdoor BBQ Set. And it looks like a lot of us may be lucky enough to get the dollhouse delivered to our favorite littles by Christmas Day or the last night of Hanukkah if we buy it on Amazon ASAP.

This gift includes a lot of goodies for Bluey fans to love. The 11-inch tall, four-room house comes almost entirely assembled; you just need to attach the front porch and the back deck. You’ll get all four members of the Heeler family, with moveable arms and legs; indoor furniture like a claw-foot tub, a toilet, a refrigerator, two beds, and two armchairs. There’s also a barbecue set, complete with sausages, picnic table, and the salad that caused Bingo so much consternation in that one super-cute episode from season 1.

Parents will also appreciate one very thoughtful detail about this house: You can pack all the accessories into the house, flip up the deck to close it up, and lift the house from a handle built into the roof. Easy cleanup is a gift in itself, isn’t it?
