Hi, out there!
It's me, steve.
Have you seen blue, my puppy?
There she is!
Come on in.
[ Barking...]
Steve: four, five.
Hi, how are you?
Come on in.
Guess how many steve steps
It took me to get to the front door.
Go ahead, guess.
Five.
It... Five. Right.
How'd you guess?
[ Barks]
Ooh!
Let's count how many steve steps
It takes to get back to blue.
You ready?
One, two, three, four, five.
Five.
The same number of steve steps! Right.
[ Barking happily]
Blue and I were just about to make a list
Of things we need to buy at the store.
So, what is it that I need to buy at the store?
I need to buy...
[ Barks]
Oh, right.
A new crayon.
That's exactly what I need.
A new crayon.
So, you need anything, blue?
[ Barks]
You want to buy something, too?
[ Barking]
Well, well, what do you want to buy?
[ Barking...]
You want to play "blue's clues."
I get it.
We'll play "blue's clues"
To figure out what blue wants to buy.
♪ We are gonna play blue's clues ♪
♪ 'Cause that's a really great game, yeah! ♪
Okay. So remember, blue's paw print will be on the clues:
Blue's clues.
Think we should just leave this paw print here?
No.
Ooh.
Did you know
That blue's paw print has
One, two, three, four toes on it?
Four.
[ Tickling]
[ Paw print giggles]
Oh, that paw print was a little ticklish.
Sorry.
Hey, you know what we need
For blue's clues, our...
Notebook!
Notebook, right.
And where do we keep our notebook?
Side table drawer!
Right. Let's go.
One, two, three, four, five, six.
It took you six steve steps to get here.
Good counting.
Thanks.
You know... I think
I'm really going to need your help today
Trying to figure out what blue wants to buy.
Will you help me?
You will?
Great!
Okay, so to play blue's clues
We got to find a...
Paw print.
Paw print, right.
'Cause that's the first...
Clue!
Yeah. 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 to 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.
Okay, so, we need to find three clues.
Uh, which way should we look?
That way!
This way?
Good. Let's go.
♪ One, two, three, four
♪ Come on, let's count some more ♪
♪ Five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. ♪
Ten steps to the kitchen.
Ooh... Ice cubes.
One, two, three, four, five
Six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
Ten ice cubes. Good counting.
[ Rattles]
A clue!
Ten clues?
No, it's a clue!
Oh, a clue.
There's a clue on this ice.
An ice clue.
You know what we need to do.
We need to write this clue down in our handy-dandy...
Notebook!
Notebook.
Ooh.
I need to buy a new crayon.
Soon.
Real soon.
Okay, let's see.
A square for the side
Some lines, like this, to make the cube.
Then another one.
Ice cubes.
So, we're trying to figure out what blue wants to buy.
And our first clue is...
Ice cubes. Hmm.
So... What could blue want to buy with ice cubes?
Do you know?
Yeah, yeah, i, I think
We have to find two more clues to figure this out.
Mr. Salt: I have three.
Mrs. Pepper: I have five.
Steve, who has more apples, me or mr. Salt?
Oh, who has more apples?
Do you know?
Who has more apples, mr. Salt or mrs. Pepper?
How could we figure this out?
Count them.
We could count them.
Great idea.
Okay.
Let's count.
So, how many apples does mr. Salt have?
[ Crunch]
[ Crunch]
[ Crunch]
Three.
One, two, three.
Three, right.
So, how many apples
Does mrs. Pepper have?
[ Crunch]
[ Crunch]
[ Crunch]
[ Crunch]
[ Crunch]
Five.
One, two, three, four, five.
Five, right.
So, if mr. Salt has three apples
And mrs. Pepper has five apples
Then who has more apples?
Mrs. Pepper.
Right.
Mrs. Pepper has more apples.
Because five is more than three.
Uh... That is not too fair.
We should bring the same number of apples to the picnic.
Did you say picnic?
Is there a picnic today?
Uh-huh.
And we should each bring
The same number of apples.
Oh, okay.
Ooh, so if we give mr. Salt one apple from mrs. Pepper
Then how many apples does mr. Salt have?
Four.
Four, right.
Then how many apples does mrs. Pepper have?
Four.
Four. Right.
So, if mr. Salt has four apples
And mrs. Pepper has four apples
Then, then they both have the same number of apples.
We're equal.
That's fair.
So, steve, how many apples do we have all together
To take to the picnic?
Whoa.
Okay. So how many apples do they have all toge...
Let's count. Yeah.
[ Clears throat]
One...
Two...
Three...
Four...
Five...
Six...
Seven...
And... Eight.
So, how many apples do they have all together?
Eight!
Eight. Right.
Because four apples
Plus four apples
Equals eight apples!
That's some mighty fine figuring.
Both: thanks, steve.
Hey, you're welcome.
On to finding more clues.
♪ One, two, three, four
♪ Five, six, seven
♪ Eight
♪ Nine
♪ Ten, eleven
♪ Twelve!
There you are, blue.
[ Barks]
Steps to the garden.
I have more.
I have more.
Hi, shovel. Hi, pail.
Maybe we can help.
Okay.
Who has more graham crackers, me or pail?
I bet we can help with this one.
You want to try?
Okay.
So, how many graham crackers
Does shovel have?
One, two
Three, four...
Five, six, seven, eight.
How many graham crackers does shovel have?
Eight!
Eight. Right.
So, how many graham crackers does pail have?
One, two, three
Four, five, six, seven.
So... How many graham crackers
Does pail have?
Seven.
Seven. Right.
Good counting.
So, if shovel has eight graham crackers
And pail has seven graham crackers
Who has more graham crackers?
Shovel.
Shovel.
Right, because shovel has... Eight.
[ Barks]
And eight graham crackers are more than seven.
Exactly.
[ Barks "okay!"]
I knew I had more.
Yeah, well, so...
How many graham crackers
Do we have all together to take to the picnic?
Right.
So, how many graham crackers
Do they have... All together?
One, two, three
Four, five, six, seven
Eight, nine, ten,
... Whew!
... ... .
So how many graham crackers do they have all together?
Fifteen!
, Good adding.
Because seven plus eight equals...
Fifteen!
, Great.
Thank you for helping us.
[ Barks happily]
Hey, you're welcome.
[ Barks]
Right, blue, we still have to find
Two more clues to figure out what you want to buy.
Bye.
How many picnic baskets?
One!
Right, one.
How many paw prints?
One.
Right, one.
A clue.
Right. One paw print, one clue.
Oh.
Oh, you found our second clue.
Where is it?
On the cup!
There's the one paw print, on the cup.
This cup is our second clue.
Okay, we know what to do.
We need our handy-dandy...
Notebook.
Notebook, right.
Nubby.
Okay. We need to draw a cup.
A big circle here.
Lines for the sides.
Two lines here.
And we have... A cup.
So, what was our first clue?
Ice cubes!
Ice cubes, right.
And now our second clue is this...
Cup.
Cup, yeah.
And we're trying to figure out
What blue wants to buy with ice cubes and a cup.
What do you think blue wants to buy?
That's interesting.
I think we need to find our third clue.

The mail's here! Let's go.

One, two, three, four.
Four pieces.
If I cut it like this...
Is that enough?
Girl: no. That's only two pieces.
Two pieces for me.
No way.
How about if I cut it in quarters?
Is that enough?
Girl: one, two, three, four.
Girls: yes.
One for everybody.
Bye, steve.

Wow.
That was so smart
Cutting that pizza into four quarters.
