Hi. It's me, Steve.
Is that you?
It is.
Quick.
Could you help me find Blue?
There she is!
[barking]
Hi, Blue.
[laughter]
[barking]
Oh, hi.
Blue's friend Green is here today.
We're playing with blocks.
Do you want to play with blocks, too?
Great, come on.
Blue and I love building with blocks.
And Green loves knocking blocks down.
Right, Green?
[barks "mm-hmm"]
But not to worry.
She's only knocking down her own blocks these days.
Come on.
So, can you guess what I'm building?
Good thinking.
I'm making a little block playground.
You know, for my cows.
I call it "Playground of the Cows."
See, this is a little cow seesaw
and this is a cow trampoline.
You know, for cows who want to jump over the moon.
Moo. Moo. Moo!
And now, I want to make a slide.
Which block should I use to make a slide?
The cylinder block
the triangular block
or the rectangular block?
The triangular block.
The triangular block?
Let's try it and see.
You ready, buddy?
Oh, yeah.
♪ Doopy-doopy-doopy-doo
♪ Doopa-doopa-doop.
Moo!
Oh, that was fun.
Yeah.
It's the perfect shape for a slide.
Thanks.
[barking]
And Blue is going to build
a really, really, tall block tower.
Right, Blue?
[barks "mm-hmm"]
Hey, Blue, after you finish building
your really tall block tower, wouldn't it be nice
if my cows over here in the playground could come over
and visit your tower?
[barks happily]
Oh.
Oh, you want to build something
to connect my playground to your tower.
[barks "mm-hmm"]
That's a great idea.
What do you want to build?
Oh.
We'll play Blue's Clues to figure out
what Blue wants to build
to connect my playground to her tower.
♪ We are gonna play Blue's Clues ♪
♪ 'Cause it's a really great game ♪
So, remember
Blue's paw prints will be on the clues.
Blue's clues.
Look at that.
The paw print rearranged itself, like blocks.
How are we going to get rid of it?
Hey, Green?
[clears throat]
Will you do the honors?
[barks "mm-hmm"]
Thanks, Green.
So, you know what we need to play "Blue's Clues"?
Our handy dandy...
Notebook.
...notebook, right?
Come on.
What do you think Side Table built?
It's the handy dandy notebook unloading ramp.
It's like a big slide.
Prepare to unload.
[beeping noise of truck unloading]
[sliding whistle]
Nice.
Hey, Side Table
your ramp is the same shape as our slide
although it looks like
you used more than one block to build it.
Well, I used
rectangular box and...
triangular box.
See?
Wow!
You're quite the builder, Side Table.
Thanks.

You know, I can tell
I'm really going to need your help today
trying to figure out what Blue wants to build
to connect my playground to her tower.
Will you help?
You will?
Great. Come on.
A clue, a clue!
A cube?
No. A clue!
Oh!
There's a clue on that... triangular block.
You know what we need?
Our handy dandy...
Notebook.
Notebook, right.
So, a triangular block.
Let's draw the three sides for a triangle
with a line for the side.
There.
A triangular block.
So, we're trying to figure out what Blue wants to build
to connect my playground to her tower
and our first clue is... a triangular block.
So, what could we build with a triangular block?
Maybe.
But I think we should find two more clues.
[barking]
Blue, do you need some help building your block tower?
[barking "mm-hmm"]
Will you help Blue build her really tall block tower?
Great.
[barking happily]
Yeah, Blue, it's going to be important
to have a good, strong bottom of the tower.
Right.
A good foundation for all the other blocks
to go on top of so they don't fall down.
Okay, so which foundation do you think would be best for Blue
to build her tower on top off?
The rectangular blocks.
Oh, yeah.
That one with the rectangular blocks.
Looks pretty strong.
[barks "mm-hmm"]
Blue's building.
You see that, Blue?
Your strong foundation held up all those blocks.
I wonder what would have happened
if we had used a foundation that wasn't so strong.
Ooh, Green's going to show us.
What do you think is going to happen?
It fell.
The foundation wasn't strong enough.
Oh, so now, Blue wants to add
this long, rectangular block to her tower.
[barking]
But... but where should she put it
so her tower doesn't fall?
No.
No.
Yes!
In the middle?
Let's see.
[barking happily]
Look at that.
It balanced.
Putting it in the middle was a great idea.
But what would have happened
if we didn'tput it in the middle?
Ah, yes.
Green will show us.
It fell.
I guess if the blocks aren't centered
or in the middle, like Blues'
the tower could fall.
Oh, okay.
Um... Blue?
Do you want to put that rectangular block here?
[barks "mm-hmm"]
But it's-it's not in the center.
Oh.
Oh. You're going to put something here, too
to balance it.
Okay, so if Blue wants to put the rectangular block
on thatside
what should she put on thisside?
The cube, the rectangular block
or the two cubes?
The two cubes.
The two cubes?
Let's see.
It worked!
The two cubes together are the same size
as the rectangular block, so it balanced.
[barking happily]
That's a great idea, Green.
Let's see what happens
if you use different sized blocks.
I think it's going to tip.
Which way do you think it's going to tip over?
That way.
That way?
Let's see.
It did tip that way!
That big block was heavier
so it tipped to that side.
So, Blue, looks like
you've got the makings of a great tower.
You've got a nice strong foundation.
Everything is nice and centered.
And the weight is the same on both sides
so it's balanced.
Nice work.
A clue.
Yeah, that was cool.
No, a clue.
Yeah, Green's a demolition guru.
There's a clue in the block.
Oh.
Oh, there's a clue
on this triangular block.
Thanks, Green.
You know what we need?
Our handy dandy...
Notebook.
...notebook.
We can draw a triangle
with a line for the side of the block.
There.
A triangular block.
So, we're trying to figure out what Blue wants to build
to connect my playground to her tower.
And our first clue was...
a triangular block.
And now our second clue is another triangular block.
So, what do you think Blue wants to build with these clues?
Maybe, but I think we should find our third clue.

[barking]
Wow. We're in a block town.
Excuse me.
Are you the builders?
Uh, well, yeah.
We build.
Actually, we specialize in blocks.
Hi, I'm an architect.
I drew all these things I want to build.
But I need some help
figuring out how to build them.
Will you help me?
Um...
Will you help the architect build what's on the blueprints?
You will?
Great.
Come on.
We're building the road here
and I want the road to look just like this.
But we just need to figure out
which set of blocks to use.
Oh! So you want to rearrange
some of those blocks to look like this.
Exactly.
Should we use thoseblocks
thoseblocks
or thoseblocks?
Okay, so which set of blocks
should we rearrange
to make a road that looks like this?
Those, on the left.
Oh. You think we should use
those blocks...
the rectangular ones on the left
to make the road?
Well, let's try it and see.
How would you rearrange the blocks?
Look at that. A road.
Look! It looks just like
the road in my blueprint.
Wow. Great job choosing the right blocks.
Come on.
We have something else to finish building.
Here's the blueprint for our town's bank.
Nice design. It's very classical.
Thanks.
Which set of blocks do you think we should use
to make this bank?
Should we use thoseblocks
thoseblocks?
or thoseblocks?
Well, which set of blocks
should we rearrange
to make a bank that looks like this?
Those on the right.
Oh. Those blocks, on the right.
The rectangular block
two cylinders, and a triangular block.
Well, how would you rearrange the blocks
to make this bank?
Looks like a bank to me.
It's my bank!
You are a brilliant builder!
Come on.
We only have one thing left to build.
This is my blueprint of the giant wall.
Oh. A giant wall!
Which set of blocks do you think we should use
to make this wall?
Should we use thoseblocks
thoseblocks
or thoseblocks?
Well, which set of blocks
should we rearrange
to make a wall that looks like this?
Those in the front.
Those? In the front?
The two triangular blocks?
[barking]
Well, how would you rearrange those blocks
to make the wall?
That's amazing.
Wow, it's so... giant.
Those two triangular blocks came together
to make a big rectangle.
That's everything I wanted to build.
Thanks for your help.
Oh, hey, thank the amazing block rearranger.
Nice work.
A clue, a clue!
Yeah, we make a good crew.
No, a clue.
Oh, you see a clue?
There it is, on that arch block.
You know what we need?
Our handy dandy...
Notebook.
Notebook. Right.
So, an arch block.
Let's start with this shape for the outline of the arch.
A line for the side and a curve for the inside.
An arch block.
We have all three clues.
We're ready to sit in our...
Thinking chair.
...thinking chair. Come on.
[barking excitedly]
Okay. Now that we're in our thinking chair, let's think.
You will help, right?
Great.
So, we're trying to figure out what Blue wants to build
to connect my playground to her tower.
And our clues are:
a triangular block
another triangular block
and an arch block.
So, what could Blue want to build
to connect my playground to her tower
with two triangular blocks and an arch?
Wow. There's so many ways she could arrange the blocks.
I mean... well, she could take the two triangular blocks
and put them together to make a rectangle
like we did with the giant wall.
And-And then she could put the arch block on top.
Blue?
Is that what you want to build?
[barks "no"]
No.
Blue wants to build something else.
Well, let's rearrange the blocks.
Um... she could take the arch block and stand it up
between the two triangular blocks.
Yeah.
Then what would she be building
to connect my playground to her tower?
A bridge.
A bridge!
Blue could build a bridge!
Is-Is that what you want to build?

Come on. Let's go build that bridge.
Wow. Look how big Blue's tower is.
Hey, remember how we helped Blue build
part of her really tall tower?
Now we have to build the bridge.
So, the cows can go up the triangle, which is a ramp
across the arch
and then down the second triangle
which is another ramp.
Okay, cows, prepare to visit the tower.
Oh, boy, this is going to be fun.
Oh, look at that tower.
That's... hey, Bessie.
You got to come over here and see this tower.
It's really cool.
Okay, here I come.
Just wait for me.
Oh, moo, yeah.
That's very nice.
[barking excitedly]
Look at that.
It's a road.
Where does it lead?
Hi.
Oh, hi.
Remember how we helped Architect
do some building?
Look at that.
The road connects the tower to the bank.
And the giant wall.
[barking excitedly]
So, the cows can play in the playground
and then walk over the bridge to visit the tower
then walk down the road to do some banking.
And visit the giant wall.
Wow.
What a great little town we made.
Thanks so much for all your help building it.
