Hi, out there!
It's me, Steve.
Have you seen Blue, my puppy?
There she is!
Come on in.
[barking...]
Oh, hi. Come on in.
You've got to see my new invention.
Do you want to try it out with me?
Okay.
So, I was sitting here watching TV
and I thought, "you know, I just don't want to get up
to change the channel."
So I made this.
Huh? Huh? You see?
It changes the channel for you.
Watch.
[laughs]
You ever see anything like it before?
I call it "from far away channel changer thing."
[laughing...]
[clicking remote...]
[stops laughing]
Oh... right, Blue.
I guess there already is an invention
that changes channels for you.
Well, what do you call that invention?
Remote control!
[barking]
Remote control, right.
Okay, well, I'll just try to invent something new.
[barking]
Try, try again.
That's my motto.
Hey, Blue, um, do you want to invent something?
[barking]
Oh, did you already invent something?
Well, what did you invent?
Oh!
[barking]
We'll play Blue's Clues to figure out what Blue invented.
♪ We are gonna play Blue's Clues ♪
♪ 'cause it's a really great game, yeah. ♪
So remember, Blue's paw prints
will be on the clues: Blue's Clues.
Hey... hey, I have an idea.
I'll invent something to clean up this paw print.
Yeah, I'll, uh, use this cloth and I'll fold it into a square
and, uh, then I'll wipe the paw print away.
Watch this.
[glass squeaks]
Huh? Huh?
I'll think I'll call this invention "rag."
You ever heard of a rag before?
Yes!
Yeah... yeah, I guess rag's already been invented.
So, I'll just keep trying.
Try, try again.
That's my motto.
Hey, you know what we need now?
Our handy-dandy...
Notebook!
Yup.
Hi, Side Table.
Hi, Steve.
[giggling]: Here's your notebook.
[giggling]
Thanks.
A clue, a clue!
[giggling]
What is so funny?
A clue, a clue!
Oh, there's a clue on Side Table?
That would be funny.
No, on your notebook!
What? On the notebook?
No way.
It is on the notebook!
You know what we need?
Our handy-dandy...
Notebook!
Notebook!
Okay, so, we'll draw the notebook in the notebook.
Here we go.
So, we start with the spiral up here
and then we draw a square for the cover
and then we draw a picture of the Thinking Chair.
There... our handy-dandy notebook.
I wonder what Blue could have invented with a notebook.
Do you know?
Ooh, maybe, but I think
we better keep playing Blue's Clues to figure it out.
To play Blue's Clues, we got to find a...
Paw print!
Oh, a paw print, right.
And that's our first... Clue!
A clue? A clue!
Then we put it in our... Notebook.
♪ 'Cause they're Blue's Clues
♪ Blue's Clues
♪ We got to find another paw print, that's the second clue ♪
♪ We put it in our notebook, 'cause they're whose clues? ♪
♪ Blue's Clues
♪ We got to find the last paw print, that's the third clue ♪
♪ We put it in our notebook
♪ 'Cause they're Blue's Clues, Blue's Clues ♪
♪ You know what do-- sit down in our Thinking Chair ♪
♪ And think, think, think
♪ 'Cause when we use our minds, take a step at a time ♪
♪ We can do anything...
[barks]
♪ That we want to do.
You know, I can tell I'm really going to need your help today
trying to figure out what Blue invented.
Will you help?
You will?
Great.
So, um, did you see which way Blue went?
That way.
That way.
Thanks.
Can't wait to see what Blue invented.

Mrs. Pepper: Steve!
♪ Wonder where they are.
Steve! What should we do now?
I've got bread and peanut butter.
I've got bread and jelly.
Both: But we want to eat them together!
Hold on, hold on.
I will invent a way
so that you can eat them together.
Uh, okay, let me think.
First thing you got to do
is you've got to take the bread
with the peanut butter on it, uh-huh
and then you want to take the bread
with the jelly on it and you want to...
Uh... what could you do now?
Stick them together.
Stick 'em together!
Yeah, like, just, stick them together.
And they'll be all stuck together.
And you can call this invention
the "jelly with bread and peanut butter all stuck together."
This is brilliant!
This is an entirely new concept.
It's jelly and peanut butter together.
It's breakthrough.
It, um, ooh, ooh, ooh.
I'm seeing something with marshmallows.
Wait a minute.
Isn't there already something called
a peanut butter and jelly sandwich?
Yeah... it did sound a little bit familiar.
Well, I'll just try, try again, because that's my motto.
Shovel: Steve!
Ooh.
We heard you were inventing something.
Well, yes, actually Blue already invented something
and I'm trying... I try.
No way, really?
Blue, what did you invent?
Oh, well, we're playing Blue's Clues
to figure out what Blue invented.
Hey, we're playing a game, too.
An invention game.
Great...
So, how do we play?
These are all inventions
that help people talk to each other from far away.
We need to figure out which invention came first.
Okay, let's see.
Uh, this is a candlestick telephone.
And this is a telegraph.
And this is a cordless phone.
So, which was invented first?
That one!
[beeping]
Oh, right, the telegraph.
Steve, that was "hello" in Morse code.
You could tap out a message to someone really far away
but you had to know the code.
Then what came after the telegraph?
Hmm, do you know?
Which was invented next?
The candlestick telephone or the cordless phone?
That one!
[phone rings]
Oh, the candlestick telephone.
I see, so people could actually talk to each other.
And that one must be last.
Right, the cordless phone.
[phone beeps]
So you can walk around anywhere and talk.
[another phone beeps]
Hello?
Oh, hi, Blue.
Yeah, we're still looking for clues
but right now we're playing an invention game.
Uh-huh.
Shovel and Pail.
Okay, got to go. Bye.
Let's play again.
Okay.
Look, Steve, these are all inventions
that people can use to fly from place to place.
Which invention came first?
Well, let's see, we have a jet, a biplane and a glider.
So, which was invented first?
That one.
[wind blowing]
Oh, the glider, yeah.
See how it just glides in the air.
Wow, that's a nice invention.
So, what came next?
Okay, so the glider came first.
Which was invented next-- the jet or the biplane?
That one!
[engine puttering]
Oh, yeah, the biplane.
See-- they put an engine in the plane
so it would stay in the air.
And that one must be last.
[whooshing]
Look how fast it goes!
Right, the jet plane.
See, they put an even more powerful engine in it
so it could fly even faster.
Yeah!
Hey, look!
We thought all this inventing
might make you a little thirsty.
So we brought you some lemonade.
Thanks.
Hey, I just had another idea for another invention.
Maybe there's a way we could invent something
so the lemonade could go right from the cup
right to your mouth without ever touching the cup.
You know, some sort of sipping, sipping tube.
Some... something just like that, Blue.
You know, we could call this invention "straw".
Huh? Huh?
You ever heard of a straw before?
Yes!
Oh, yeah... right.
I guess a straw's already been invented.
Well, I'll just try, try again.
That's my motto.

Oh, really, Mailbox, did you invent something, too?
'Cause I've been working on inventing something...

My extendo-arm!
Oh, you mean that thing that lets you
come all the way in here from the front yard.
Uh-huh. I'm really proud of it.

All: Hi, Steve!
We have our favorite inventions!
My favorite invention is the umbrella
'cause it keeps me dry.
Goggles are my favorite invention.
They make me see under water.
My favorite invention is the flashlight.
I can read in the dark.
All: Bye, Steve!
Bye.
Wow... those were interesting inventions.
A clue, a clue!
Oh, yeah, a shoe.
Now, that's a good invention.
No, a clue.
Exactly, because without your shoes
you'd all be walking around in your socks
and then what would you do on rainy days?
Right there on the chair.
A clue?
On the Thinking Chair?
Really?
There is a clue!
Right here on the Thinking Chair.
You know what we need?
Our handy-dandy...
Notebook!
Notebook, which is also a clue.
Fancy that.
First we draw an arc
and then two swirls for the arms of the chair
a curved line for the legs
and some horizontal lines for the seat.
There-- the Thinking Chair.
So, our first clue is our notebook.
And now our second clue is the Thinking Chair.
So, what could Blue have invented
with our notebook and the Thinking Chair?
Good idea, but I think we better find our last Blue's Clue.
[Blue barking]
Now, where did Blue go?
[barking "Blue Skidoo"]
Oh, Blue just skidooed into that book all about inventions.
Let's go, too.
♪ Blue skidoo, we can, too
[barking]
We're in an invention workshop!
Look, there's blackboards and blueprints
for drawing inventions
and pipes and pulleys for building inventions.
I wonder what that's going to be.
Hey, you want to try to invent something here?
Yeah? Wonder what we can invent.
Hello, maybe you can help me.
I need to get to the store
faster than I can walk
so I figured I would invent something.
Can you help?
Oh, do you want to help sketch this invention?
[barking]
So, how can we help?
Well, I have this wheel and this handlebar.
What can I invent with these thing?
Hmm, well, what could he invent
to get to the store faster
with a wheel and a handlebar?
Let's see.
What is he inventing?
The bicycle.
Oh, the bicycle.
You invented the bicycle.
Well, that ought to get you to the store faster than walking.
Now I just need to build it.
[clattering]
Look, I built it!
Wow. Good job!
Way to go! Whoo-hoo!
Bye.
Oh, hello.
I'm trying to invent something
to get all this stuff to my friends.
Can you help me?
Oh, well, actually
Blue here is an inventor herself
and I'm, well, I'm...
you know, I'm currently working on my invention.
How about your invention?
So, how can we help?
Well, I made these tracks and these wheels.
What can I invent with these things?
Oh, so, what could she invent
to carry all her stuff to her friends
with tracks and wheels?
Hmm... let's see.
What is she inventing?
A train!
Oh, a train, a train.
Yeah, that's a perfect way
to carry all your stuff to your friends.
Now I just need to build it.
[clanging and clattering]
Look at my invention.
Nice train!
Thanks for all your help.
[blows whistle]
[barking]
[barks hello]
Oh, hello.
Don't tell me.
You're inventing something, too.
How did you know?
I'm trying to invent something so I can take a trip
but I don't want to follow train tracks.
I want to go my own way.
Can you help?
Sure. We're getting pretty good at this.
So, how can we help?
Well, I made these tires and this motor.
What can I invent with these?
Oh, so, what could he invent to take a trip
with tires and a motor?
Hmm... let's see.
What is he inventing?
A car!
A car!
You invented a car.
Vroom! That'll be a great way
to get to your friend's house.
You can drive.
[clattering]
Look, I did it!
I can go any way that I want.
Thanks for helping.
Sure.
Another brilliant invention!
The car!
[barking]
Oh, yeah, we still have to figure out
what Blue invented.
Come on.
A clue, a clue!
Clue skidoo?
Okay, let's go.
♪ Clue skidoo...
Wait! A clue!
Oh... oh, you see a clue.
Where?
Right there.
Right there on those, those...
What are those?
Paw prints!
Paw prints... yeah.
Like Blue's.
So... paw prints are our last clue.
You know what we need?
Our handy-dandy...
Notebook!
Note...
Notebook.
Which was also a clue.
Okay, so we need to draw paw prints in our notebook.
First we draw a circle
and some smaller circles for the toes like this.
And another paw, and another.
There-- paw prints.
Well, we have all three clues.
You know what that means?
We're ready to sit in our...
Thinking Chair!
Thinking Chair.
Let's go.
[barking "Blue Skidoo"]
Okay, now that we're in our Thinking Chair, let's...
think.
Will you help me?
You will?
Great!
So, we're trying to figure out what Blue invented
and our clues are:
our notebook...
the Thinking Chair...
and these paw prints.
[squeaking]
So, what could Blue have invented
with our notebook, the Thinking Chair and these paw prints?
Hmm... hmm...
Notebook, Thinking Chair, paw prints...
You know, I, I feel like we do something with all these things.
I mean, isn't there a game that we play
with our notebook, uh, the Thinking Chair and paw prints?
What, what game is that?
Blue's Clues!
[laughing]: Blue's Clues.
Yeah. That's it!
Blue, did you invent the game of Blue's Clues?
[barking]
Of course you did.
That's it, because we play it every day
with our notebook
and we find the paw prints, which are the clues
and then we... ♪ sit down in our Thinking Chair... ♪

Hey, remember the game we played
with Shovel and Pail about inventions?
So, how does this invention of yours work, Blue?
Look, it's our inventor friend.
Remember what invention we helped him with?
A car.
A car. Exactly.
What did you invent, Steve?
Oh, well, I didn't exactly invent anything, really.
I mean, I tried and tried.
All: Well, try again.
Yeah... try, try again.
That's my motto.
Okay, I will, I'll try again.
I have an idea.
Okay, first thing I need is some tape-- got it--
and some cardboard-- all righty.
Put that like that, and then... this.
Okay, so you know how my notebook's always getting stuck?
Well, this is the "no-stick notebook holder."
See how nicely the notebook fits in there?
And then this fits very easily on your belt
so you can take it with you.
Hey, have you ever seen an invention like this?
No!
