Hi, it's me, Steve.
Is that you?
It is! Great!
Could you help me find Blue?
There she is!
Ooh, thanks.
Come on!
PAIL AND SHOVEL: Hi, Blue!
[barks "hello"]
[Periwinkle laughs]
[barks]
[barks]
[barking tune...]
Hi. Come on in.
To my igloo.
Oh, and careful, the ice may be a little slippery.
Ah, there it is-- my igloo.
Can you imagine it?
See, I... I took two chairs and I put a blanket over them
and I'm imagining that it's an igloo.
See? My igloo has big, white blocks of ice...
and a dome-shaped roof... huh?
Can you imagine it?
Oh, oh, and there's
a circle in the ice
where you can go ice fishing.
Whoa, look at those fish!
[barks]
There you are, Blue.
I wanted to show you what I made.
Do you see it?
[barking...]
Wait a second.
Blue, are we playing Igloo?
[barks no]
Oh. 'Cause I was imagining
that this shape is an igloo
and in my head, I can see
the white blocks of ice
and I can even feel how cold it is.
[barking]
You don't see an igloo, do you, Blue?
[barks no]
Well, is this shape
something else in your head?
[barking yes]
Oh. Well, what are you imagining
this shape to be?
[barking]
Oh! We'll play Blue's Clues
to figure out what Blue is imagining this shape to be.
♪ We are gonna play Blue Clue's ♪
♪ 'Cause it's a really great game, yeah. ♪
So remember, Blue's paw print
will be on the clues: Blue's Clues.
Hey, look at this.
What do you see?
Well, you might see a paw print
or maybe we can imagine
that this paw print is something else
like... like...
like a big turtle...
with four little turtles all around it.
Do you see it?
Yeah, there they go.
Bye.
You know what we need to play Blue's Clues.
Our handy-dandy...
Notebook!
Notebook, right.
SIDE TABLE: I've got your notebook.
Let's go.
I'm imagining that I'm a tropical island.
See my palm tree?
Can you hear the ocean?
[waves crashing]
An island.
Do you see it?
Yes!
Oh, yeah!
I see it, too.
And now I'm swimming...
in the ocean...
near your island.
[giggles]
Steve, you're so funny.
Here's your notebook.
Ah. Thanks.
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.
Okay, we are ready to go look for clues
so we can figure out what Blue is imagining that shape to be.
MR. SALT: An igloo?
What is this I hear
about an igloo
in the living room?
Oh, you mean my igloo.
It's right there.
Really? That shape?
Isn't that just two chairs
and a blanket?
Well, yeah.
But I'm imagining that it's an igloo.
Do you see it?
An imaginary igloo?
Oh...
Uh...
No. No, I don't see it.
Oh.
Ooh, Steve!
Nice igloo!
Ice fishing, no?
Exactly!
Hey... maybe Mr. Salt just isn't using his imagination.
I wonder what Blue sees in her imagination.
We're going to need those clues.
Uh... let's skate across the ice to find them.
♪ We are looking for Blue's Clues ♪
♪ I wonder where they are.
A clue, a clue!
Yeah, I know.
Mr. Salt could only see two.
Two chairs.
A clue!
Yeah, and a blanket, you're right.
A clue!
Oh.
There's a clue...
on this... white circle.
You know what we need.
Our handy-dandy...
Notebook.
Notebook, right.
You know, I think I'll use this white crayon...
to draw this white circle.
So let's a draw a circle and color it in.
There... a white circle.
So, what could Blue be imagining that shape could be
with a big white circle?
What do you think?
Really?
Well, maybe we should find two more clues, just to be sure.
SLIPPERY: Whoa...!
My picture's done.
Hey, that sounds like Slippery.
[Blue barks]
And Blue.
Let's go see what they're doing.
Hi, Steve.
Did you find a clue?
Yeah, we did, we found our first clue.
Really?
We're making pictures.
[barks "pictures"]
Cool.
What kind of pictures?
Well, the pictures are going to tell a story.
A story?
That's very imaginative.
[barks "imaginative"]
Here's mine.
The story is...
one day we all wanted to take a trip
so first we...
Hey, Steve, do you see what I see?
Um... I'm not quite sure, Slippery.
What do you think Slippery is imagining
in his picture?
[barks question]
A bus.
[bubbling]
A... a bus!
Yeah! A big bubble bus
that uses bubbles instead of gas.
Vroom-vroom.
Did you see the bubble bus?
Cool.
So the story goes...
A big city bubble bus
took Slippery, Tickety and Blue on a ride.
Your turn, Tickety.
So, where did you take the ride to?
I'll tell you...
If you can see what I'm imagining
in my picture.
Ah.
I'm looking...
but I don't think I see it... yet.
Do you see what Tickety sees
in her picture?
An ice cream cone!
Oh, an ice cream cone!
Yeah! See my ice cream cone?
So, the story goes...
A big city bubble bus
took Slippery, Tickety and Blue
on a ride to find ice cream cones.
But they could only find them in the sky.
So...
[whispers]: Your turn, Blue.
Yeah. Then what happened, Blue?
[barking...]
So, what do you think
Blue sees in her picture?
A hot air balloon!
[Blue barking]
A hot air balloon!
Yeah!
Good one, Blue!
[barks]
So the story goes...
A big city bubble bus
took Slippery, Tickety and Blue on a ride...
To find ice cream cones.
But they could only find them in the sky.
So... we went up and got them in a hot air balloon.
[Blue barks "a hot air balloon"]
[barks "ta-da"]
Ice cream cones and hot air balloons.
A hot air balloon?
Ice cream?
I see, uh... buttons.
Just buttons.
Well, you're right.
I mean, these are just buttons
but we're imagining.
Pictures made from buttons.
Watch. I'll make a picture.
Okay. Do you see what I see?
A pig's nose.
[barks "a pig's nose?"]
Yeah, 'cause the pig
is hiding behind a blanket of snow.
Oh.Oh. [barks "oh"]
I see a smiley face.
I see a stop sign.
And I see... a...
[sighs]
A button.
Just a button.
Poor Mr. Salt.
♪ Mail Time, Mail Time...
Hey, the mail's here.
Let's go ask Mailbox what he sees.
♪ Here's the mail, it never fails ♪
♪ It makes me want to wag my tail ♪
♪ When it comes, I want to wail, "Mail!" ♪
[barks]
Ah... okay, Mailbox.
What do you see in my picture?
Hmm... I see...
I see a smooshed grape!
Good one.
Want to know what I see?
What?
A pig's nose...
hiding behind a blanket of snow.
That's good, very good.
Here's your letter.
Thanks, Mailbox.
We just got a letter.

I'm imagining it's a letter from our friends.
It is!
BOTH: Hi, Steve!
We're using our imaginations.
We're looking at clouds.
GIRL: I see... an old man with a beard sleeping
'cause I see his mouth wide open, like he's snoring.
[giggles]
BOY: That looks like a...
spaceship.
I see two eyes of a mummy.
BOY: Yeah, that looks like a mummy to me, too.
He's scary.
Look at the T. rex.
BOTH: Bye, Steve!
Bye.
Wow, they imagined so many different things.
A smooshed grape.
That was so funny.
[laughs]
A clue!
A clue?
Yeah, I guess it could be a clue.
Hey! How did that happen?
You found our second clue.
And it's on this button.
Or... or a pig's nose.
Or a smooshed grape.
You know what we need.
Our handy-dandy...
Notebook!
Notebook, right.
So... a button.
Let's make a circle...
with a smaller circle inside...
two dots for the holes...
and there-- a button.
So, what was our first clue?
A circle!
Oh, a big, white circle, right.
And our second clue is this button.
So, what could Blue be imagining that shape to be
with a big white circle and a button?
What do you think?
Oh... interesting... imaginative.
But I think we should find our last clue.
PERIWINKLE: Look! There's a dinosaur!
Hey, that sounds like Periwinkle, from next door.
You know, I think I'll take my boat to the backyard.
Let's go.
[humming...]
Hey, Steve.
What are you doing?
We're in a boat.
What are you doing?
I'm playing that we're in the land
of great, big dinosaurs!
Cool!
[Blue barks growl]
Look, Periwinkle!
I see a Blueasaurus rex!
[barking roar]
Get in the cave!
[barking roar]
Aah! What dinosaurs?
Where?
[barks roar]
We're imagining that Blue is a dinosaur.
[barks normally]
Blue? A dinosaur?
Yeah, kind of like I was imagining
that that shape is an igloo.
[sighs]
I just don't see it.
[barks]
I tried, I really did.
Maybe...
maybe I don't have
an imagination.
[barks]
Maybe you just need to learn how to use it.
[barks]
Can you show me?
Sure, let's see.
♪ First I close my eyes and dream it... yeah ♪
♪ Then I swirl around and feel it ♪
♪ When I open my eyes, I can see it there. ♪
MR. PEPPER: See what?
What can you see?
STEVE: Yeah, what do you see?
I see lots of golden bits of something.
I see lots of turquoise blue far away.
I feel some wind...
[waves lapping]
Hey, and I hear these sounds!
What am I imagining?
STEVE: Can you see it?
What is Periwinkle imagining?
[gulls cawing]
The beach!
[Blue barks]
I am imagining the beach!
I love the beach!
You can imagine it, too!
[barks]
I don't see the beach.
You don't?
I guess I don't feel it, either.
Well, um, let me give it a try.
Okay, so...

MR. SALT: You see it? Where?
In my imagination.
Well, see if you can see.
I see... lots of green, leafy things
and lots of green vines
and lots of green stuff on the ground.
This place is very green.
[animals hooting]
And I can hear these sounds.
What am I imagining?
A jungle!
Right. A jungle.
You can see the jungle in my imagination.
First I dreamed it up and, and then I felt it, and...
and then I could see it, in my head.
I... I...
I just don't see it.

You try this time.
Yeah. Yeah, this time
you try to use your imagination.

Do you see anything inside your head?
Okay, I'm looking, I'm looking.
Ooh, I... I think I do see something.
Good!
Keep going. You can do it.
It's big... and cottony...
and pink and sticky.
Mmm... oh, it tastes so sweet.
I'm having a taste of it right now.
Mmm... yum!
Do you know what Mr. Salt is imagining?
Cotton candy!
Mr. Salt, you're doing it.
You are imagining cotton candy.
Really?
I didn't imagining could taste so good!
Yeah, maybe we're at a carnival!
[barks]
See, there's the roller coaster.
Yeah, and, uh... there's a Ferris wheel.
This is a great carnival.
Mr. Salt, you found your imagination!
I did it, I did it!
I have to go tell Mrs. Pepper.
Thank you, thank you!
Oh. You're welcome! Bye.
[barks]
Great job. It worked.
See you later.
[barking...]
You see? Mr. Salt does have an imagination.
I guess everyone does.
A clue!
Yeah, you just have to know how to use it.
A clue!
Oh, you see a clue.
Or... or are you just imagining it?
Really, a clue.
Really? Where?
There!
There!
What is this clue?
Triangles!
Triangles, right.
Two triangles.
You know what we need.
Our handy-dandy...
Notebook.
Notebook.
Okay...
Okay, so a triangle has one, two, three sides.
And another one.
There... triangles.
Our third clue.
We have all three clues.
You know what that means.
We're ready to sit in our...
Thinking Chair!
Thinking Chair.
What are we waiting for?
Let's go.
Ah. Okay, now that we're in our Thinking Chair
let's... imagine.
So we need to figure out
what Blue is imagining that shape to be.
You will help, right?
Great.
So, our clues are...
a big, white circle...
a button...
and these triangles.
So... what could Blue be imagining that shape to be?
Hey... hey, maybe we need to see that shape
in our imagination, yeah.
Do you see it?
Okay, there it is.
Now we just need to add our clues to that shape.
Well, I'm seeing the button over here.
And then maybe the big, white circle...
could be on the other end.
And then, I'm seeing the triangles kind of up here.
Ooh... hey, what could Blue be imagining that shape to be?
A rabbit!
A bunny rabbit!
A rabbit?
Is Blue imagining that shape to be a rabbit?
