Tropes shared among the protagonists' family members.
----
* BigOlEyebrows: The main characters’ grandfathers will usually have thicker eyebrows than usual.
* ItRunsInTheFamily: Whatever the main characters were talented at, typically the family will likely share the same talent or interest.
* SharedFamilyQuirks: In most cases, their family members will share the same peculiarities, even if on different levels, Steve's grandmother always wears green stripes like her grandson, and acts like TheGadfly like Joe, Lola sings at random moments like Josh and so on.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: The animated characters look a lot like the protagonists that they should be related to, to the point where they look almost [[PaletteSwap recolors]]. The exception is the grandfather's clock, which although not so similar, still has the same color palette as his granddaughter's.

Tickety's grandfather
----
* AmbiguousSituation: It is unclear whether his name is [[HisNameReallyIsBarkeep actually grandfather clock]], or if the characters are calling him grandfather like they do Steve's grandmother and Grandfather Thyme.

* BigOlEyebrows: Has eyebrows that are noticeably wider than those of other characters.

* DotingGrandparent: {{Implied}}. Although we never see their interactions on screen, Tickety seems to love and admire him greatly, which is presumably reciprocal
* GiganticAdultsTinyBabies: It's a big Grandfather Clock a little bigger than Steve, but his granddaughter is a little alarm clock.
* HugeGuyTinyGirl: His granddaughter is tiny, while he is taller than Steve.
* TheQuietOne: He never speaks a single word on screen, although we can hear him speak when Steve and Blue Skidoo enter him in "Blue's Surprise at Two O'Clock".

Josh's grandmother, a Filipino immigrant to the storybook world
----
* BeautifulSingingVoice: A singer as good as her grandson Josh, no wonder her favorite hobby is karaoke.
* ColorMotif: Like Josh, she is associated with blue, albeit a darker shade.
* CoolOldLady: Lola is a great cook, singer and is looked upon with admiration by several members of the yellow house (most notably her grandson Josh).
* CoolTeacher: At least in the controversial "Blue's Clues Nursery Rhymes" she works as a kindergarten teacher and even here she is a CoolOldLady. It is not known whether she works or worked as a teacher at canon at some point.
* HisNameReallyIsBarkeep: Her name is canonically Lola, which means grandma. Meaning her grandchildren are calling her grandma while other people are calling her by her name.
* ItRunsInTheFamily: Like her grandchildren, she has a love of cooking and music in general.
* StealthPun: Her name is a joke on the fact that she is a grandmother, Lola is a real name of Hispanic origin but also the Filipino word for grandma, making her Josh’s lola Lola.
* TheStoryteller: She is seen in some official videos of the series retelling to the viewer some stories about Josh and Blue's adventures from the first season.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: To Steve and Joe Grandmother. As Steve and Joe's grandmother she wears the same clothing standard as her grandson, is the answer to Blue's clues for her debut episode and is the main inspiration for her grandson's goals.

Josh's cousins who live in the Philippines.
----
* BrotherSisterTeam: They were not seen separately in any of their appearances, always working together.
* EarlyBirdCameo: They first appeared as the "Feelin’ Filipino" email video before having a major role in “Kamusta Philippines”.
* FloralMotifs: Red flowers, which are the colors of the floral sculpture they make for their cart at the parade and the flowers on Paulo's floral shirt. Red flowers are associated with passion in addition to respect, desire, and courage, which are also the themes of their standout episode, where Josh and they need to overcome their StageFright together as a family because they love to sing.
* ItRunsInTheFamily: Like their cousin Josh and their grandmother Lola, they are extremely artistic in multiple areas with the most visible being singing.
* ShrinkingViolet: {{Downplayed}}. While they don't appear to be shy, they are kinda insecure about singing in front of people outside their family, preferring to stick to karaoke. Fortunately, being with Josh and Lola makes them lose that insecurity.
* SuccessfulSiblingSyndrome: Successful cousin syndrome in this case. It is implied that they feel this way about Josh, even saying that unlike Josh, they are only good at singing karaoke.

----
* TheAce: [[InformedAttribute Implied by Slippery but never shown on screen]] that Slick is better than him at almost everything he does.
* BubbleGun: One of his equipment as a "Smell Buster". The bubbles he releases are capable of cleaning anything they touch in a matter of seconds.
* CharacterCatchphrase: When someone mentions the word "fast": "I'm faster than lightning"
* ClashingCousins: {{Downplayed}}. Slippery has a one-sided rivalry with him, but Slick never notices, only thinking they are in friendly competition.
* DelinquentHair: Although not actually a delinquent, his "hair" is meant to resemble a [[GreaserDelinquents Greaser]].
* FastAsLightning: His CharacterCatchphrase is to say that he is faster than lightning.
* GreaserDelinquents: His design was created to project this trope, being a super fast and arrogant racer with a giant pompadour (made out of toothpaste) that he makes a point of combing whenever he's trying to look cool.
* GreenIsMean: {{SubvertedTrope}}. He's green, but despite being a bit arrogant, he's generally quite pleasant.
* InnocentlyInsensitive: He's generally a nice guy, but he seems to have a hard time reading the room and realizing that his constant bragging about how fast he is is making his cousin uncomfortable.
* NiceGuy: Arrogance aside, Slick is genuinely a friendly guy who just wants to have a good time competing with his cousin. He also seems quite willing to help the members of the yellow house, at the cost of his own comfort, even though he doesn't live there himself.
* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: {{Downplayed}}. He's the manly man for Slippery sensitive guy. Slick is designed to look like a delinquent driver, is quite confident of his abilities, and acts more arrogantly, meanwhile, Slippery is more sensitive and emotional, with little confidence but a lot of kindness in his heart.
* SpiritedCompetitor: He's competitive, cocky, and loves racing in general, and wants to be the fastest runner, which hurts Slippery a little, but he also values his teammates and opponents and is a genuinely nice and friendly guy.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: Slick is basically a PaletteSwap for Slippery with the color green and a pompadour made of toothpaste.
* UnknownRival: He never seems to realize that his cousin harbors some resentment for him being faster and a bit arrogant, and just assumes they are on good terms.
