Something to Do, Blue
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...]
Oh, hi. You're just in time.
Blue and I are just trying to decide what to do today.
Um, do you want to join us?
Great! Come on.
[barking]
So, Blue, did you decide what you want to do today?
[barks no]
No? Hmm...
Well, I have an idea.
Can you guess what I'm thinking of?
[barks]
The guitar.
Yeah! We could play the guitar...
sing some songs...
What do you think, Blue?
[barking no]
You don't feel like playing the guitar, huh?
[barks no]
Uh... well, let's think.
Blue, I know you can think
of something really cool to do today.
Something to do?
Did I hear you were looking for something to do?
Oh. Hi, Mr. Salt and Mrs. Pepper.
Yeah, uh, Blue was just trying
to think of something really cool to do today
but she's having a little trouble.
Aha! Well, I think we may have just the recipe you need!
You do?
Yes, it's an old family recipe.
We have used it many times with Paprika.
Let's see...
Ah, yes... here it is.
It is our recipe for The Something To Do Stew.
The Something To Do Stew?
How's that work?
You pick out a few things that you have around
and then you stir in some imagination
to make something new.
Oh... The Something To Do Stew.
So, let me get this straight.
You just pick a few things you have around
and then you use your imagination
to try to invent something new to do with them.
Exactly!
♪ Just go on down to the kitchen of life ♪
♪ Then pick out a flavor or two ♪
♪ Then you stir it up, stir it up, stir it up tasty ♪
♪ If you want to get something new ♪
♪ 'Cause they're all ingredients♪
♪ in the Something To Do...♪
♪ Stew.♪
Now you try it.
Okay. Hey... do you want to try
the Something To Do Stew with me?
[barks]
Great! So... just need to... pick out a few things...
and, uh, try to make something new with them.
Um... I'll pick... this paint...
um, this sponge...
and, uh, this paper.
So, what can we do with these things?
Sponge painting.
Sponge painting. Great idea!
Let's try it.
See, it's just like finger painting...
without the mess.
Ah... magnifique!
Tres magnifique!
Cool. We made something new
out of those things.
The sponge...
the paint...
and the paper.
Let's go hang this on the fridge!
[barks]
Hey, Blue, do you want to try
to make something new?
[barks]
Great. Well, first thing you need
is to pick out a few things.
[barking]
Oh! We'll play Blue's Clues
to find three things and then make something new with them.
♪ We are gonna play Blue's Clues ♪
♪ 'cause it's a really great game. ♪
So, remember, Blue's paw print
will be on the clues: Blue's Clues.
You know, this is so cool.
Blue doesn't even know
what the answer to Blue's Clues will be.
Well, we can't just leave the paw print up there.
Hey, we could use this sponge to wipe it away.
See? It paints and it cleans up paw prints.
You know what we need to play Blue's Clues.
Our handy-dandy...
Notebook.
Notebook, right.
Come on.
Hey, Side Table.
Could we have our notebook, please?
Sure, Steve.
Our notebook...
and a sock.
[laughs]
What's this for?
You have to use your imagination.
Use my imagination?
Oh! Yeah, we could use our imagination
to put these two things together to make something new.
So, what could we make with a sock and our notebook?
Interesting.
Ooh, wait. Wait, wait... I have one.
This is going to be funny.
Uh... see? Check it out.
It's a notebook nightcap.
Wait till you see this.
Oh... that's good.
Good night, notebook.
[snoring]
[laughs]
What else could we make?
Ooh! How about this?
This is very useful.
It's a handy-dandy notebook holder.
Nice imagination.
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.
So, will you help me find Blue's clues
so we can help Blue figure out something to do today?
You will? Great!
So, did you see which way Blue went?
That way.
That way. Come on.
♪ We are looking for Blue's Clues ♪
♪ We are looking for Blue's Clues ♪
♪ We are looking for Blue's Clues ♪
♪ Wonder where they are.
A clue.
You see a clue?
Where?
Behind you!
Oh! Look at that!
There's a clue on these books.
You know what we need.
Our handy-dandy...
Notebook.
Notebook, right.
[bell dings]
[bell dings again]
First, let's draw a pair of rectangles...
then some lines for the back covers, pages...
and the binding.
There... books.
And we have our first clue.
Books.
So, what could Blue do today with books?
Maybe... but I think we should find two more clues.
Hey... what could I make with this sock and... and my hand?
A sock puppet.
A sock puppet. Yeah.
Hi, Sock Puppet.
Oh, um, hello.
Hi. How you doing?
PERIWINKLE: Steve!
Steve!
Was someone just calling me?
Was it you?
No, it, it, it wasn't me.
Was it you?
Steve, out here!
Steve, there appears to be some sort of...
cat or, uh, kitten at the window.
Oh! It's Periwinkle.
Steve, you got to see this!
Uh, I'm sorry, Sock Puppet, but we got to go.
Really? Oh, okay, well, it was very nice to meet you.
Come on.
Hey, Periwinkle.
What are you doing?
You want to see my best trick ever?
Do you want to see
Periwinkle's magic trick?
Okay, let's see.
Behold! With these two magic squares
and my magic marker
I can make all different pictures.
You want to see?
Do you want to see what Periwinkle
can make with his magic squares?
Yeah. Periwinkle, we'd love to.
Okay.
First, we need to say the magic words.
Peri-pocus-hocus-crocus!
Magic squares, come into focus!
What did I make?
So, what did Periwinkle make
with his squares and his magic marker?
A truck.
A truck, yeah.
See? The squares make the truck
and the circles Peri drew are the wheels.
Periwinkle, you turned those squares into a truck!
That's amazing.
Exactly. But that's not all.
Behold as I turn these squares into something else.
Say the magic words.
Uh, Peri-pocus- hocus-crocus...
Magic squares, come into focus!
Can you guess what it is?
What did Periwinkle make with his two squares
and his magic marker this time?
A kite!
A kite!
The two squares make the kite
and Periwinkle used his magic marker
to makes the kite's tail. Wow!
And that's not all!
Behold! As I turn my squares into something new.
Say the magic words.
Peri-pocus- hocus-crocus...
Magic squares, come into focus!
What is it?
A robot!
It isa robot!
The squares make the robot's head and body
and Periwinkle used his marker
to draw the robot's arms, legs and antennae.
How cool is that?
Thanks!
So, did you like my trick?
Periwinkle, that was probably the best trick ever.
You know, I never knew you could make
so many things out of two squares.
I wonder what else you could make?
And for my last and final trick.
Periwinkle Disappearo!
Bye!
Bye, Periwinkle.
A clue!
What, you have a trick too?
No, a clue!
Oh, you see a clue. Where?
On the lunchbox.
There's a clue... on this lunchbox.
You know what we need?
Another square: our handy-dandy...
Notebook.
Notebook, right.
See? It's a square.
Let's start with a rectangle and some lines
to make the box shape...
a handle and a latch.
A lunchbox.
So what was our first clue?
Books!
Books, right.
And now our second clue is a lunchbox.
So, what could Blue do today with books and a lunchbox?
Maybe... but I think we should find our last clue
to help Blue figure out something to do.
♪ ...Mail Time, Mail Time!♪
The 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.
Ooh, I have an idea.
So, uh...
How's that? Ready?
Is it going to stay?
All right...
So, what did I make with Mailbox and the sock?
[trumpets]
An elephant.
Right. Mailbox, you're an elephant.
[trumpets]
Here's your letter.
Thanks, Mailbox. Bye.
We just got a letter.
♪ We just got a letter
♪ We just got a letter

It's a letter from our friends.
Hello, Steve.
Hi!
We're making friends with our googly eyes.
See?
This is Mrs. Bowl of Bananas.
And I'm Mr. Spatula.
Why, you are looking very lovely today.
Hello there.
I'm getting dizzy!
BOTH: Bye, Steve!
Bye!
[Blue barks]
Let's go see what Blue is up to.
[barks "Blue Skidoo"]
Hey, Blue just skidooed!
Let's go too!
♪ Blue skidoo, we can too!
Hi, I'm Hum.
And I'm Drum.
[sighs]
Hi! I'm Steve, this is Blue, and this our friend.
[barking]
You seem kind of sad.
Can we help?
Well, the problem is
I have this hula hoop
but hula-hooping is not what I want to do.
Yeah, and I don't feel like bouncing today.
BOTH: We have nothing to do.
[barks]
Yeah, good thinking, Blue.
Do you want to help Hum and Drum
find something new to do
with the hula hoop and the ball?
Something new to do?
But what?
Well, what could they play with a hoop and a ball?
Basketball!
Great thinking.
Basketball.
Yeah, I can toss my ball...
Through my hoop!
[barks]
Or you could even play planets.
[barks]
DRUM: Look!
HUM: Blue made Saturn!
[barks]
Well, what else could we play with a hoop and a ball?
Nice one.
You have a good imagination.
Thanks, Steve.
Thanks, Blue.
You're welcome. Bye.
[barks bye-bye]
[barks]
I don't feel like playing superhero anymore.
And I'm sitting at my snack table.
But I don't feel like having a snack.
[barks]
Great thinking, Blue.
Hi. Uh, we know what to do.
We need to take these things
and use our imaginations to come up with something new.
[barks]
So what could we play
with a blanket and a table?
Fort!
Fort? How?
I know.
You can put your blanket over my snack table.
Wow, look at this cool fort.
[barks]
What else could we play?
Nice imagination.
[barks]
[barks]
Oh... great idea, Blue.
We could play house.
And Blue could be the baby.
[barking]
Thanks, Steve.
Thanks, Blue.
You're welcome. Bye!
[barks bye]
Come on.
That was great.
Nice job.
A clue, a clue!
You see a clue? Where?
On the chalkboard.
There's a clue!
On that chalkboard!
You know what we need.
Our handy-dandy...
Notebook!
Notebook, right.
Okay.
First we draw a rectangle...
and a second rectangle inside it.
Lines for the eraser...
and the legs.
There... a chalkboard.
Hey, we have all three clues.
You know what that means.
We're ready to sit in our...
Thinking Chair!
Thinking Chair! Come on.
[barking "Blue Skidoo"]
Hey, Blue...
are you going to do the thinking this time?
[barking]
Come on.
[barks]
Okay, so Blue is trying to figure out
what she wants to do today.
[barks]
Do you remember what our first clue was?
Books!
Books, right.
And our second clue was...
A lunchbox.
A lunchbox.
And, uh, our third clue was...
Chalkboard.
Chalkboard, right.
So now we need to take the books
the lunchbox and the chalkboard
add some imagination
and come up with something new.
Well, what could you do with books
a lunchbox and a chalkboard?
[barking softly]
Hey, maybe it's a place.
Yeah. Well, but where would you be
with books, a lunchbox and a chalkboard?
[barks softly]
Can you help Blue?
What place has books
a lunchbox and a chalkboard?
[barks question]
School!
[barking]
School!
Blue, in school, you can read your books
and eat your lunch from your lunchbox
and draw on a chalkboard.
We could play school.
Is that what you want to do today?
