Blue's Clues(1996–2006)

Snack Time

It's our first day visiting the Blue's Clues house and right away we're welcomed in to join in a snack. Although ""snacking"" is the theme of the episode, there's much more to learn about than that. We help out Blue with a painting, show her the colors she needs. We identify foods by shape and later we find about ""Blue Skiddoo"" and visit a farm, where we help some baby chicks in hats to find their friends.

What Time Is It for Blue?

In this episode, we're concerned with what time it is and while we try to figure it out, we help our friends and have some fun along the way. We help out Tickety Tock after disturbing her and causing her to lose her numbers and bells. We do some cleaning by picking up some clothes and stuffed animals and putting them in Steve's closet. We also skidoo into a jungle and have some fun finding animals by imitating their sounds.

Mailbox's Birthday

For Mailbox's birthday, there's a special celebration and we're invited to help out. We help decorate the cake for the party by observing patterns. We also skiddoo along with Steve and Blue into a present store. There, we find the perfect present for Mailbox and then help Blue and Steve to find it when it gets lost among a bunch of other presents.

Blue's Story Time

It's story time at the Blue's Clues house and in this episode, we get to hear some classic stories and also use our knowledge to help fix problems with some classic stories. Shovel, Pail and Blue act out ""Jack and Jill"" and we fill in important parts of the story - for example, they went up a hill, not a mountain. Later, Blue finds a photo album and we help to arrange some pictures of her and her preschool friend, Magenta, to tell a story. We also visit the home of the Three Bears and use logic to make sure each one gets the right bowl of porridge and cup of milk.

Blue's Favorite Song

It's Song Time at the Blue's Clues house. Steve suggests singing ""She'll Be Coming Around the Mountain,"" but Blue doesn't want to sing that. We have fun learning interesting things about music in this episode and helping our friends with music-related things. When the sounds of some instruments get switched, we help to change them back. We help Steve to learn a brand new song. We also skidoo into a farm, where we help some chicks choose the right lyrics and tune for the song ""Row, Row, Row Your Boat.""

What Does Blue Need?

Needs are the order of the day. After taking care of some gardening needs, we help Mr. Salt and Mrs. Pepper, who need to know which fruits to wash for their fruit salad. Later, we help out with Steve's need to have his clothes clean and in order when Blue gets into them and they get messed up. Then we skiddoo into a picture of a beach where we help Starfish who needs to get to the ocean to get cleaned off.

Adventures in Art

Today we're exploring art in many forms. Steve and Blue enjoy painting and Steve has painted a picture of Blue and Blue's painted a nice outdoor scene. Later, we help her out with painting her wagon when she find that she doesn't have the colors that she wants. We help her out by showing that mixing two colors can make a new color. We also help out a color of felt friends to use shapes to make a sailboat. Later, we skiddoo into a picture of an art museum, where we learn that pictures can tell a story. Unfortunately, the story that the pictures represent isn't in the right order, so we use logic to get all the pictures back in the right place.

Blue Goes to the Beach

Steve and Blue are going to the beach and while we are there, we decide what clothes would be most appropriate to wear to the beach and experiment with physics in a game of sink or float with Mr. Salt and Mrs. Pepper. Then, we help sea creatures find their way back to the playground by matching their shapes with the coral reef.

Pretend Time

Sometimes, by pretending, you can explore things that you normally couldn't. Steve has an interest in flight and pretends to be a bird and later a plane. We help out some birds who are pretending to see things in clouds. We also play house with Shovel and Pail and later skiddoo into a picture of a jungle and help some ""rare"" animals to find their friends.

A Snowy Day

It's a snowy day and we're going outside to play. Before doing that, we observe snowflake patterns with Mr. Salt and Mrs. Pepper. In a Blue Skidoo segment, we help a calendar kid to fix the scene depicted in a calendar picture to match the winter season. We also help Blue to figure what she's missing when she loses some winter clothing items while trying to get dressed to go outside.

The Trying Game

This episode is all about trying our best in the hopes of learning something, or getting even better at something we already know how to do. With Blue's encouragement, Steve takes up juggling, advancing from one ball, to two, to three. We help Tickety to tell what time it is by associating times with familiar objects and rituals. In Storybook Forest, we find Grown-Up Baby Bear and explore possible future career options for her, noting that she can be anything she wants to be. We also help young animals to find their parents, noting that some animals change forms as they grow up.

Blue Wants to Play a Game

Today, all sorts of games are being played at the Blue's Clues house, starting with hide-and-seek. We help Steve find Blue and he'd like to play again, but it would seem Blue doesn't want to play any more hide-and-seek. We help Shovel and Pail with a jigsaw puzzle. Later, into a skiddoo segment, we play Gingerbred Boy's game, which is a riddle game to find his house.

The Grow Show

As we come in, Steve thinks that maybe we've grown some and it turns out that Blue's been growing too. As we focus on growing, we learn all about how plants grow. We also find out where they grow when we help some Felt Friends. In addition, an investigation with Shovel and Pail helps us to learn about length and volume.

Blue Wants to Play a Song Game!

Today, the Blue's Clues characters are playing ""song games"" - acting out and dancing when singing songs. Steve plays the ""Head and Shoulders"" song game, but we have to help him out to remember some of the words to the song. We join Blue and a monkey in the song game ""Two Little Monkeys."" We have to follow along with the monkey, once again helping out Steve, who keeps forgetting parts of the song and ends up singing some very silly things. We play ""If You're Happy and You Know It"" with Tickety Tock and then we skiddoo to a beach, where we find pairings of animals and try to guess which one of them is dancing along to a noise that can be heard on the beach.

Magenta Comes Over

Blue's friend, Magenta is coming over to the Blue's Clues house. As we wait for her and get ready, we help out some of our other friends. We help Shovel and Pail with a game of hide-and-seek in the backyard by following footprints. We help Mr. Salt and Mrs. Pepper create a snack for Magenta and Blue, using the concept of opposites. A Blue Skidoo segment takes us into a felt frame, where we try to help two Felt Friends dress up in costumes.

Tickety's Favorite Nursery Rhyme

As we try to figure out Tickety Tock's favorite nursery rhyme, we learn all about rhyming and poetry. We help out Mr. Salt and Mrs. Pepper to pack a special lunch and learn about alliteration - they only want to pack things that start with a ""p"" sound. We learn about analogies when trying to solve a riddle to help some friends pass a tollbooth. Later, in the Blue Skidoo segment, we help a classic nursery rhyme character to finish a rhyming poem.

In this episode, we take a look at things that can be scary and find out that by taking a closer look, they may not be so scary at all. We check out shadows with Shovel and Pail, figuring out what they really are. A photo session with Mr. Salt and Mrs. Pepper finds something interesting. It turns out that it can be hard tell what things are up-close and they can even be scary. But by looking carefully, we can identify them. Later, Blue and Steve skidoo together in a haunted house. There, they find Boo, who's terrified of scary noises. We help him to find the source of the noises and he's not so scared anymore.

Steve Gets the Sniffles

Steve isn't feeling well. He has the sniffles and so we try to help him out while learning about healthy things in the process. While in the kitchen, we categorize healthy snacks with Mr. Salt and Mrs. Pepper, then Steve gets a quick check-up with Shovel and Pail. We also skiddoo into a book, where we meet a girl named Jill who wants us to try to figure out what happens in her story when she goes out to play in the rain.

Later, in the Blue Skiddoo segment, we help a friend named Tink who was flung out of her contraption world to get back to where she belongs.

We test a number of senses when trying to find things while playing ""Lights On, Lights Off."" We also skidoo into a computer game where ""sound notes"" provide us with sounds and we figure out what makes those sounds.

What Does Blue Want to Make Out of Recycled Things?

It's clean-up time and as we help Steve and Blue to find things to clean up, Steve gets the idea that we could turn the trash into something else. He draws a recycling logo on the screen and in this episode, we learn all about recycling. We help Steve when he encounters a group of recycling bins to figure out what things go in which bin.

Later, we skidoo into Recycle Town where we help the mayor to find ways to recycle all sorts of things, since nothing in Recycle Town is ever thrown away, it's all recycled.

We help out a felt friend who's scared of someone in an angry looking mask. We also skiddoo into a picture of Blue's school and find several of the students in ""tough situations."" By thinking about their problems, we're able to recommend the better solution of two choices.

When it starts raining outside, Steve and Blue aren't upset because they can have lots of fun indoors. In fact, the rain sounds a lot like music. So we take the opportunity to explore all sorts of different music. We find Mr. Salt, Mrs. Pepper and Paprika and help out with their water xylophone.

The Lost Episode!

In this episode, the characters are dealing with trying to find things that they've lost. Sometimes it's not easy, but they have a little handy saying in the form of a song to help them, when you lose something --- ""go back, go back, go back to where you were!""

We also attend to other needs, such as the various things needed to care for a baby when Mr. Salt and Mrs. Pepper ask us to look after Paprika. Later, we skiddoo into a safari book and help some jungle animals to get their baths.

Blue is Frustrated

Frusturation - it happens to everyone, even characters on Blue's Clues. Fortunately, there's a way to deal with it, if you feel frustrated, the best thing to do is: stop, take a deep breath and think. Steve uses this idea when he has trouble keeping the picture by the Thinking Chair straight. This idea helps out Mr. Salt and Mrs. Pepper as well and later in the blue Skidoo segment we help out Rabbit who's frustrated about trying to balance things on a teeter-totter.

What is Blue Trying to Do?

When trying to do something, it helps if you don't say that you can't do it and also if you get a little encouragement. So we help some of our friends at the Blue's Clues house to do some things they've been trying to do. We help Slippery to blow a very big bubble. We help Baby Bear find a collage and we help Steve with a puzzle he's been working on.

Imagine Nation

In this episode, we use our imagination to see, feel and even taste things that we wouldn't be able to otherwise. We tell a story with Blue, Tickety and Slippery Soap using pictures and our imaginations. Unfortunately, Mr. Salt doesn't seem to understand the whole imagination thing and so he doesn't see what we're seeing. Together with Steve, Periwinkle and Blue we come up with a special song to help Mr. Salt find his imagination.

The Anything Box

When a mysterious box shows up in the backyard of the Blue's Clues house, Steve is disappointed to find that it's empty, but Blue shows him that by using imagination, the box can be anything one pretends it to be. We use this idea to have a lot of fun, pretending that the box is anything from a car to a rocketship. Shovel and Pail manage to get three different uses out of it. We even use it to make it to the top of a high tower in the Blue Skidoo segment.

Superfriends!

That means that things such as loud games are out when Cinnamon is trying to sleep - but we learn that by just thinking a little, we can come up with changes that will let us still do the things that we want to do, but in a different way. Sometimes the changes aren't easy at first, but they help others and aren't really that much of a problem. In the spirit of change in helping out, we also try to find ways to help Mr. Salt and Mrs. Pepper take care of Cinnamon.

Bugs!

Steve and Blue are going on a bug-watching expedition and we're invited to come along.

We also skiddoo into a puppet book, where we find Pedro, who needs our help in finding things to wear, so we use both Spanish and logic to figure out the right things that he needs.

What's Inside?

The finding of a secret lost door gives us the opportunity to talk about things that are inside other things. For example, we play the "Grocery Game" with Mr. Salt and Mrs. Pepper. This involves placing various food items on shelves based on what's inside them. We also get to skidoo into a pull-tab book, where we find many interesting things inside the tabs.

Rhyme Time

In this episode, we help the various characters to come up with words that rhyme with things they're saying. Rhymes are words that have the same ending sound as another word, such as "say" and "hay," or "head" and "bed." Lullabies usually rhyme and so we help Mr. Salt to create one to get Paprika and Cinnamon to sleep. We also skiddoo into a rhyming storybook. There we help out several characters whose stories aren't quite right because one of the things in them doesn't rhyme with the other two things.

Puppets
