JOE: Hello!
Hi.
Look, I made... a contraption.
[ contraption squeaks]
I call it my "Hello Contraption."
I made it to help me say...
[ contraption squeaks]
Hello.
[ chuckles]
Hey, do you want to see another contraption I made?
You do?
Terrific.
Come on in.
It's right over here.
Ta-dah!
My newest contraption.
[ barking happily]
I call it "Joe's Crayon Slide"
[ barking]
It starts working when I drop a crayon right here.
[ barking]
Where do you think the crayon will go after I drop it?
CHILD: To Blue.
To Blue?
You think?
Let's try it out and see.
Ready?
Drop!
It worked.
Ha!
[ laughing]
So, let's say I'm sitting up here
at the table, coloring...
[ whistling]
and Blue wants a crayon.
All I have to do is drop the crayon...
and it rolls right to Blue.
Ha!
Hey, Blue, are you going to
make a contraption, too?
[ barking yes]
Really?
Well, what's your contraption going to do?
[ barking]
Oh!
We'll play "Blue's Clues" to figure it out.

Oh, right there.
Our first clue.
And it's on this... cup.
You know what we need.
Our handy-dandy...
Notebook.
Notebook, right.
A cup.
First let's draw an oval for the top
and a line down and around, and we have a cup.
So, we're trying to figure out what Blue's contraption will do.
And our first clue is a cup.
But what could Blue's contraption do with a cup?
Oh, good idea.
But let's keep looking for more clues so we can know for sure.
PERIWINKLE: Peri... presto!
That sounds like Periwinkle.
Come on.
Hey, Periwinkle.
Hi.
I made a contraption.
It helps me do a magic trick.
Really?
I started my contraption
by pulling down on this string.
And then something happens to the cape.
What do you think will happen to the cape
when Periwinkle pulls down the string?
It will go up.
Oh, it'll go up.
Let's see.
Here it goes.
Peri... presto!
Ta-dah!
Cool.
It's a pulley.
Like Side Table's notebook contraption.
PAIL: Joe, come look!
Coming!
Bye, Periwinkle.
Bye.
Hey, Pail.
Whoa.
Is this a contraption?
Uh-huh.
I start it by throwing
this big, heavy ball
onto this side of the teeter-totter.
Then something happens to the little ball.
What do you think will happen to the little ball?
It will go in the basket.
Oh, it will go in the basket.
Let's see.
It worked.
It worked.
The ball went in the basket.
See?
It's a lever.
Wow!
Cool lever, Pail.
MR. SALT: The contraption is complete.
Another contraption.
Let's go see.
Bye, Pail.
Bye.
Hey, Mr. Salt and Mrs. Pepper.
MR. SALT: Hello!
Nice contraption.
How does it work?
MR. SALT: Well, we start our contraption
by rolling a ball down this ramp.
What do you think this contraption does?
Water the flowers.
Waters the flowers?
Let's see.
MR. SALT: It worked.
MRS. PEPPER: It's brilliant!
Could we see that again?
Of course.
[ laughing]
What a smart contraption.
Ah, thank you.
And the sunflowers look great.
A clue!
Oh, you want to play peek-a-boo.
Okay.
Peek-a-boo!
[ chuckling]
Joe, there's a clue.
Oh, there's a clue.
Where?
On these... seeds.
Okay, you know what we need.
Our handy-dandy...
Notebook.
Notebook, right.
Let's draw a few round shapes like this, a line on each one.
There-- seeds.
What was our first clue?
A cup.
A cup, right.
And now our second clue is seeds.
So what could Blue's contraption do with a cup and seeds?
Oh... maybe.
But let's find our last clue.
Then we'll know if we're right.

We're part of the contraption to put our toys away.
Here's how it works.
I let go of the ball.
And then I pass it through.
Zhoom!
I take the ball and swing it up.
Loop!
I'm a ramp.

[ Blue barking for Joe]
[ barking]
Blue just skiddooed...
[ Blue barks]
...into that contraption's game.
Let's go, too.
♪ Blue skiddoo, we can, too. ♪
[ barking happily]
Here we are.
The contraption's game.
Wow, look at all those contraptions.
[ barking happily]
Oh, hi.
Hi, I'm Gilda, the builder.
Will you help me finish building my contraptions?
You'll help too, right?
[ barks excitedly]
You will?
This is going to be great.
Oh, good.
I call this contraption "Give the Giraffe a Balloon."
[ barks]
We just need to add one more part up there
to make the balloon go that way.
Let's see.
So, which part will make the balloon move that way--
the pulley...
the lever...
or the fan?
[ whirs]
The fan.
Oh, the fan.
[ Blue barks]
The fan moves the balloon that way--
not the pulley...
or the lever.
We'll use the fan.
Now let's see the whole contraption work.
It's supposed to bring the balloon to the giraffe.
[ barks]
So, the scissors cut the string...
Which makes the balloon go up to the fan...
Which blows the balloon...
Over to the giraffe.
Ha!
It worked.
[ barks excitedly]
Great contraption building.
Let's build another.
[ Blue barking]
I call this contraption "Birdy's Alarm Clock."
[ barking]
To finish it, we need a part right here
that will make the ball go up.
[ barks]
So, which of these parts will make the ball go up--
the spring...
the wheel...
or the ramp?
The spring.
The spring?
[ Blue barks]
Yeah!
The spring makes the ball go up--
not the wheel...
or the ramp.
We could use the spring.
Now let's see the whole contraption.
It's supposed to wake Birdy from his nap.
So, the bunny jumps to get the carrot...
A lever flings the ball...
Onto the spring, the ball goes up...
And rings the bell...
Which wakes the birdy from his nap.
It works.
[ barks]
Let's do one more.
[ barking]
I call this contraption "Feed the Mouse."
[ barks]
To finish it, we need one more part--
something that will move the cheese
from here to there.
[ barks]
So, which part will make the cheese move this way--
the elevator...
the conveyor belt...
or the fan?
The conveyor belt.
Yeah.
The conveyor belt moves the cheese this way--
not the elevator...
or the fan.
We'll use the conveyor belt.
[ barks happily]
Let's try it.
The pendulum knocks over the cheese...
Onto the conveyor belt...
Which carries the cheese onto the ramp...
And the cheese slides down the ramp
so the mouse can eat it.
[ barks happily]
We fed the mouse.
Thanks so much for your help.
No problem.
And you were a huge help with those contraptions.
Bye, Gilda.
[ barks "bye-bye"]
[ singing]
Look, it's the bird.
Hi, bird.
[ singing]
A clue.
It flew?
[ singing]
Oh, yeah, it flew away.
Hmm, where is that bird?
[ singing]
Behind you.
It's a clue.
Oh, a clue.
Where?
[ singing]
Oh, on the bird.
Okay, you know what we need-- our handy-dandy...
Notebook.
Yep, our notebook.
[ singing]
Let's draw a curve that goes around like this for the body,
a curving shape for the wing, two legs, eyes and a beak.
There, a bird.
[ singing]
We have all three clues
to figure out what Blue's contraption will do.
It's time to sit in our...
Thinking chair.
Yeah, our thinking chair.
Come on.
Now that we're in our thinking chair, let's think.
So, what could Blue's contraption do
with a cup...
seeds...
and a bird?
Yeah, maybe it could use the cup to hold the seeds.
Well... but what about the bird?
Well, what if the contraption moved the cup of seeds
to where a bird is?
What would the contraption be doing?
Feeding the bird.
That's it.
Blue made a contraption to feed a bird.

Hey, Blue, can we see your bird-feeding contraption?
[ barks excitedly]
[ barking]
Hey, look, there's Baby Bird.
Hi.
[ barks "Hello"]
Hi, Periwinkle.
Hi, Gilda.
You're just in time to see Blue's contraption.
[ barks]
Okay, so there's the cup,
and Blue's putting the seeds in.
[ barking]
Baby Bird, you're the bird in Blue's contraption.
Wow!
How does it work?
Yeah, Blue, how do you start your contraption?
[ barking]
Oh.
So what do you think will happen when Blue pushes the truck?
The seeds will go up to Baby Bird.
[ barks]
Oh, you think the seeds will go up to Baby Bird.
Well, let's see.
[ barks triumphantly]
It worked!
[ barking excitedly]
Yum!
Hey, it's a pulley, like my magic machine.
And Blue used a ramp, like in my "Feed the Mouse" contraption.
[ barks excitedly]
Wow, Blue, what an amazing contraption.
Now you can feed Baby Bird who's all the way up there,
from all the way down here.
[ barks]
Hey, thanks for all your help today.
