Hi. I'm so glad you're here.
You got to see what Blue found.
Come on.
[barking]
Look at this box Blue found.
What do you think could be inside there?
I think it's something really big, like...
like a rocket ship!
Oh, that would be so cool.
[barks]
Okay, Blue, open the box!
[barking]
It's... it's...
It's...
[barks]
Empty.
[barks]
Oh... well, that's too bad.
I really wanted to play rocket ship.
[barks]
Oh, well...
I guess we'll just have to play something else.
[barks]
Backgammon, maybe.
I've always wanted to learn.
[barking]
Hey... I wonder what Blue's doing back there.
[barks as if talking on radio]
It looks like Blue is imagining something with the box.
[barks]
Well, what do you think she's imagining?
[barks as if talking on radio]
Rocket ship!
[barks "rocket ship"]
Rocket ship?
That's exactly what I wanted to play today.
Do you want to play rocket ship, too?
Great. I'll be right back.
[barking]
[as if on radio]: Are you ready for blastoff, Captain Blue?
[barks yes]
All right. Time for the countdown.
[as Blue barks along]: Five...
four...
three...
two...
one...
blastoff!
[imitating rocket engine whooshing]
[barking]
Mission accomplished.
We're in outer space.
[barks]
Hey, wow, Blue.
You figured out that if we imagine
this box can be a rocket ship.
[barks]
A rocket ship box.
Cool.
[barking]
What, Blue, you don't want to play rocket ship anymore?
[barks no]
Oh. Well, is there something else
you'd like to play with the box?
[barks yes]
[barking]
Oh! Great idea.
We'll play Blue's Clues to figure out
what else Blue wants to play with the box.
♪ We are gonna play Blue's Clues ♪
♪ 'Cause it's a really great game, yeah. ♪
So remember, Blue's paw print will be on the clues:
Blue's Clues.
Hey...
[whooshing...]
I think the paw print is imagining
it's a rocket ship, too.
[as if on radio]: Good luck, Paw Print.
Hey, you know what we need to Blue's Clues.
Our handy-dandy...
Notebook.
Notebook, right.
Can't forget our rocket ship box.
Hey... do you think if we imagine
this box...
could be a car?
[imitates engine...]
Beep-beep. Come on.
[imitates engine roaring...]
[Steve imitates tires squealing]
[imitates turning on car alarm]
[giggles]
You're an excellent driver.
Thank you, Side Table.
May we have our notebook, please?
Sure.
Great.
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

[barks]

You know, I can tell I'm really going to need your help today
trying to figure out what else Blue wants to play with our box.
You will help, right?
Great.
Um, I'll be right back.
[imitating engine]
[imitates tires squealing]
Come on.
[imitating engine...]
A clue, a clue!
[imitates engine, tires squealing]
You see a clue?
Where?
Oh... oh, there's a clue.
Right here, on these wheels.
You know what we need.
Our handy-dandy...
Notebook!
Notebook, right.
So... wheels.
For wheels, we start off with two circles
with smaller circles inside...
and some colored-in circles.
And we have wheels.
So we're trying to figure out
what else Blue wants to play with the box
and our first clue... is wheels.
Do you know?
Maybe... but let's find two more clues, just to make sure.
Think I'll just take my car here.
That's funny.
I could have sworn I parked it right here.
Hurry, Shovel, we're almost there.
Hey, Shovel and Pail.
I see you found our car.
What car, Steve?
We're playing something else.
Uh-oh, the sharks are swimming through the water.
Quick, Horace, let's get in, too!
Let's row across the ocean.
Uh-oh.
Horace wants to get to dry land
but he doesn't know how to swim.
Steve, come get Horace.
Uh, hang on.
What do you think Shovel and Pail
are imagining the box is?
A boat!
Oh, a boat.
Right-- Shovel and Pail are imagining
they're rowing a boat through the water.
And they want... us...
to go get Horace!
Come on!
Ah... there you are, Horace. You okay?
Yeah? You want a little swimming lesson or something?
Okay, here, um...
it's really... just... there you go...
and now... good, that's good.
Now kick.
Aw, that's great.
Hey, Shovel, Pail, look at this.
[both imitating siren]
Oh, it's... it's not an emergency or anything.
I just wanted to show you
that Horace can swim to your boat, see?
It's not a boat now, Steve.
We're playing something else.
Quick, Shovel, turn on the water.
Okay, here's the hose.
Look at all the smoke over there.
Well, what, what do you think
Shovel and Pail are imagining the box is?
A fire truck!
Oh, a fire truck.
Of course, Shovel and Pail are imagining
they're firefighters in a fire truck.
Thanks.
Yay, the fire's out!
Come on, let's see
if there are more fires
around here.
Wow.
Excuse us, coming through.
Of course, your, uh, fire truck is right here.
It's not a fire truck now, Steve.
We're playing something else.
Excuse me, sir.
Your table is ready.
Right this way, Mr. Horace.
Hi, I'm Chef Shovel.
Your waitress will be with you in just a minute.
Waitress, we have customers!
Here I am, Chef Shovel.
And here's our menu.
Are you hungry, Steve?
Would you like to order something from our menu?
Sure.
What do you think Shovel and Pail
are imagining the box is now?
A restaurant!
Oh, a restaurant, right.
Shovel is the chef and Pail is the waitress.
She showed us a menu and now she wants us to order some food.
Okay.
How about pizza?
Pizza, please.
Coming right up.
Here you go.
Pizza for Steve
and pizza for you.
Careful, it's hot.
Mmm, Chef Shovel, this pizza's delicious.
Glad you like it.
Wow, this is some amazing box.
It can be so many different things.
First it was a boat, then it was a fire truck...
and now it's a restaurant.
All because we were imagining.
♪ ...Mail Time, Mail Time!♪
Ooh, mail's here. Come on.
♪ 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...
Hey, Mailbox.
Hey, Steve.
You know what else that box could be?
What?
A mailbox!
Good idea.
Here's your letter.
Thanks.
We just got a letter.
♪ We just got a letter
♪ We just got a letter
♪ We just got a letter

Look, it's a letter from our friends.
ALL: Hi, Steve!
We're rowing a boat!
I'm thirsty.
I'm hungry.
I'm going to eat a chicken wing.
[munching]
Let's look for treasure.
Let's use our flashlights.
I see the buried treasure.
I do, too!
I do, too!
Let's go get it!
Come on, guys, let's dig.
KIDS: Ooh...
BOY: Musical instruments are the treasure.
[humming "Mary Had a Little Lamb..."]
[imitating flute]
[drumming]
ALL: Bye, Steve!
Bye!
Wow, they had so many different ideas.
[Blue barking]
There's Blue.
Come on.
A clue!
You see Blue?
No, it's a clue!
Oh, you see a clue. Where?
There!
There's a clue...
on these tracks.
We better put this clue in our handy-dandy...
Notebook.
Notebook, right.
So... tracks.
Let's start with two long lines...
and then some short lines across them.
Tracks.
So, what was our first clue?
Wheels.
Wheels, right.
And now our second clue is tracks.
So, what else could Blue want to do with the box
with wheels and tracks?
Do you know?
Oh... maybe
but I think we better find our last clue just to be sure.
UNKNOWN VOICE: Steve... Blue...?
[barking "Blue Skidoo" tune]
Hey, Blue just skidooed into that diorama.
Let's go, too.
We should probably bring our box, just in case.
♪ Blue Skidoo, we can, too.
VOICE: Steve, Blue...
Hey, where's that voice coming from?
Steve...
Steve.
Do you know?
In the tower!
[barks]
Oh, wow.
Look, that tower is really far away.
Hi! We're coming!
Whoa... we just have to get over
this really high wall.
And all we have is this box.
Wait a minute.
We have this box.
[barks]
And we're really good at imagining with it
so... what do you think this box could be
that would help us fly over this wall
and land on the other side?
An airplane!
An airplane.
Of course!
Because an airplane flies over things
and lets you land on the other side.
That's perfect.
[barks]
Uh...
[barks]
[barking...]
[engine chugging]
Wow! Look...
There's the wall.
This imagining is powerful stuff.
[barks]
[barks happily]
This is great.
We'll be at that tower in no time.
Don't worry, we'll be there soon!
[barks]
[barks]
Whoa... this is a really steep hill!
[barks]
And snowy, too.
And the tower is all the way down there.
[barks]
I don't know how we're going to slide down this hill.
Oh... right, the box.
Let's imagine.
So... what could this box be
that would help us slide down this snowy hill?
A sled.
A sled.
Of course, that's a perfect way to slide down a hill.
[barks]
[barking]
[barking]
[barks]
Excellent work.
Look, there's the tower!
Hurry! I live on the top floor.
Okay, we'll be right up.
[barking]
[barking hello]
Wow, that's a lot of stairs.
He said the top floor, right?
Hey, maybe if we imagine
this box could help us get to the top of the tower
so we don't have to climb all those stairs.
[barks]
So, it looks like Blue is pushing a button
so she can go to the top floor.
Wonder what she's doing.
[barks]
Well, what could this box be
so we don't have to climb the stairs?
An elevator!
An elevator!
Of course!
Top floor, please.
[barks]
[bell dinging each floor]
[barks]
Hey...
We made it!
Great imagining.
You made it!
I have a package for you.
Right this way, Steve.
Here's your delivery.
Good day.
Bye.
It's another box!
This... uh... this could be a great hat.
A clue!
You see a clue? Where?
Oh! There's a clue!
And it's on this line that goes up and down.
You know what we need now.
Our handy-dandy...
Notebook.
Notebook, right.
So, a line that goes up and down and up and down, like this.
There.
Hey, 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" tune]
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 else Blue wants to play with the box
and our clues are...
wheels...
tracks...
and a line that goes up and down.
So, what else could Blue want to play with the box
with wheels, tracks, and a line that goes up and down?
Well, what if the wheels were right next to each other
and, and what if they went along the track?
What would that be?
A train!
A train, yeah.
And... what if the tracks went up and down on that line?
So the train went up and down.
What would that be then?
A roller coaster!
A roller coaster!
Yeah, that's it, because a roller coaster has wheels
it goes along a track
and it goes up and down.
We just figured out Blue's Clues!

Blue, do you want to play roller coaster with the box?
[barking "roller coaster"]
That is such a good idea.
Hey, Steve.
Is that a fire truck?
No, actually, it's about to be...
a roller coaster.
Get in.
[barks]
Can I go on the roller coaster, too?
Oh, yeah, sure.
Oh, uh, thanks for the third clue.
You're welcome.
[barking]
Hey, this box can be
so many different things.
It, it was a rocket ship, a car...
And then a boat!
A fire truck, a restaurant...
And then it was an airplane
a sled and an elevator.
Can you think of anything else it could be?
Right! Of course!
This box can be so many different things.
[barks]
Yeah, Blue, that's it.
This is an Anything Box
because if we imagine
it can be anything we want it to be.
And right now, it's a roller coaster.
Come on.
[barks]
[barks]
There's a really big hill ahead of us.
Whoa, whoa... we're going up.
Going up...
Whoa... we're... we're going down, we're going down...
ALL [Blue barking]: Whoa...
Whoa...
Whoa...
Whoo!
Phew!
Hey, that was great.
Thanks so much for all your help today.
Come on.
