Today is Blue's birthday, but we've shown up a little early, so we help to set things up. As we get things set up, we notice things that are out of place or missing and help to make things right. We also play party games and help Steve look for presents in a special skiddoo segment. Many guests come and we watch Blue unwrap presents and also receive some celebrity greetings. To learn more about the video bonus segment for this episode, check the Recap section.

Steve isn't feeling well. He has the sniffles and so we try to help him out while learning about healthy things in the process. While in the kitchen, we categorize healthy snacks with Mr. Salt and Mrs. Pepper, then Steve gets a quick check-up with Shovel and Pail. We also skiddoo into a book, where we meet a girl named Jill who wants us to try to figure out what happens in her story when she goes out to play in the rain.

This episode looks at math, mostly counting, but also basic addition and subtraction. We count the steps that it takes to get to various locations. We also help some of our friends with figuring out who has more or less of something. Then, after figuring that out, we help them to total it. We also skiddoo into a present (gift) store, where Steve takes care of buying a new crayon that he needs and even picks up a special extra something.

Blue has been growing and we help her and Joe use a chart to measure her. This gives us an idea when Mr. Salt wants help with snack preparation. We can use a chart to list everyone's favorite snack. Throughout the episode, we record the favorite snacks of the characters on our handy chart with columns and rows. We help Shovel and Pail with their own chart of backyard birds and squirrels. We also skidoo into a farm, where we use another chart to feed a farmer's colorful pigs.

Today we're exploring art in many forms. Steve and Blue enjoy painting and Steve has painted a picture of Blue and Blue's painted a nice outdoor scene. Later, we help her out with painting her wagon when she find that she doesn't have the colors that she wants. We help her out by showing that mixing two colors can make a new color. We also help out a color of felt friends to use shapes to make a sailboat. Later, we skiddoo into a picture of an art museum, where we learn that pictures can tell a story. Unfortunately, the story that the pictures represent isn't in the right order, so we use logic to get all the pictures back in the right place.

In this episode, we explore our senses, from hearing to touch and more. A hunt for a missing wind-up toy under Steve's bed gets us learning about all sorts of sensations, from something prickly, to something very soft. We test a number of senses when trying to find things while playing ""Lights On, Lights Off."" We also skidoo into a computer game where ""sound notes"" provide us with sounds and we figure out what makes those sounds.

When Joe needs help finding Baby Bird, we learn about the importance of directions. From left and right to up and down and more, we learn all about directions in this episode. Directions come in handy when a felt friend needs our help in getting back to his felt frame. They can even help classic storybook characters, such as Little Bo Peep, when help her to find her sheep in a Blue Skidoo segment.

Steve and Blue have been building things and so in this episode we explore construction and measurement. We find some popsicle sticks assembling themselves in various shapes and try to figure out what they're creating.

Later, in the Blue Skiddoo segment, we help a friend named Tink who was flung out of her contraption world to get back to where she belongs.

This episode is all about books, words and letters. Steve himself has A Really Great Book, although we never do get to find out the contents of it. To fit with the theme, various objects are labeled such as the Thinking Chair and even Steve himself. By reading off a grocery list, we help Mr. Salt and Mr. Pepper to due their grocery shopping in order to feed a hungry Paprika. Later, we skiddoo into a storybook and determine the correct order of words to make complete sentences through visual and contextual clue

It's clean-up time and as we help Steve and Blue to find things to clean up, Steve gets the idea that we could turn the trash into something else. He draws a recycling logo on the screen and in this episode, we learn all about recycling. We help Steve when he encounters a group of recycling bins to figure out what things go in which bin. We help Tickety to make something neat out of her old stuff. Later, we skidoo into Recycle Town where we help the mayor to find ways to recycle all sorts of things, since nothing in Recycle Town is ever thrown away, it's all recycled.

In this episode, we explore the dreams of the various characters. We also learn that if you try hard enough, sometimes you can change your dream. That way, if you're scared by something, you can make it go away. Additionally, we find out that if you try hard enough, sometimes dreams can come true.

Today, the characters check out some fun games. Steve tries his hand at juggling and also shows us a neat trick with the letter ""L."" We help out a felt friend to practice the game of tic-tac-toe. Later, we help Shovel, Pail and Blue to play following directions game called ""Mother May I.""

Joe and Blue have been having fun writing labels, labeling all sorts of different things in the Blue's Clues house. We have fun with writing too, as Joe teaches us a trick where we can write a letter in the air using our finger. We find a character named Marky up in the attic and we help him to make labels for a couple of boxes. In the Blue Skidoo segment, Joe finds himself holding a very large paintbrush and a character named Palette shows up and asks us to help her write a word.

When we come in, we find that Blue's ears are droopy and she seems to be very sad. We suggest how we and Steve might be able to help her and then we help some of the other characters as well. We help out a felt friend who's scared of someone in an angry looking mask. We also skiddoo into a picture of Blue's school and find several of the students in ""tough situations."" By thinking about their problems, we're able to recommend the better solution of two choices.

Frusturation - it happens to everyone, even characters on Blue's Clues. Fortunately, there's a way to deal with it, if you feel frustrated, the best thing to do is: stop, take a deep breath and think. Steve uses this idea when he has trouble keeping the picture by the Thinking Chair straight. This idea helps out Mr. Salt and Mrs. Pepper as well and later in the blue Skidoo segment we help out Rabbit who's frustrated about trying to balance things on a teeter-totter.

When trying to do something, it helps if you don't say that you can't do it and also if you get a little encouragement. So we help some of our friends at the Blue's Clues house to do some things they've been trying to do. We help Slippery to blow a very big bubble. We help Baby Bear find a collage and we help Steve with a puzzle he's been working on.

Steve and Blue have been doing experiments to see what things sink and float. We find Shovel and Pail and help them out with their experiments with nature. We take a look at things through a magnifying glass and try to guess what they are. In the Blue Skiddoo segment, we meet up with the Sun and learn all about the different planets in our solar system.

Blue has created a fun game called Shape Searchers. She pulls out a shape from a bag of hers and we try to find it. In this episode, we search for shapes in all sorts of places, pointing them out as we see them. We also have a Blue Skidoo segment filled with shapes. We meet some shapes and show them how they can combine with other shapes to make various things.

Blue and her friend Magenta have created a scavenger hunt for us and Joe. We look all over the Blue's Clues house to find things on the list. A visit to the kitchen results in a tasty treat and we find several things on the list. Then, for some special shape-searching, we skidoo along with Blue and Magenta into a shape world.

Magenta is taking a trip to the beach and she asks us to look after her house. Fortunately, we're not without help, she's left us a number of written and picture messages to tell us what to do. We help out with things such as feeding her fish and taking out her recycling. We get to find out what more of the inside of her house looks like and even have fun solving the game of Blue's Clues outside.

Blue has drawn a picture of herself, Magenta and Steve. Steve thinks it would be great to hang it on the refrigerator, but Blue has another idea. As we try to figure what it is, we work on solving some problems step-by-step. We help Steve to figure out who made an ice cream in the kitchen by becoming amateur detectives. We also skidoo into a bakery and follow a step-by-step recipe to make a tasty treat.

Steve reveals to everyone in the house that he's going to be going to college and that Joe is going to stay and play with them while he's away. He skiddoos to show everyone what college is like and meanwhile, Joe and the entire gang set up a surprise goodbye party for Steve.

In this episode, we get a whole new perspective on things when we look at stuff through things and from various angles. We have fun with a kaleidoscope and mirrors too. We also skidoo into a computer program. There we visit Squirrel Park and help friends to find each other by listening to them describe what they can see from where they are.

Periwinkle and Blue have discovered an egg in a nest in the backyard, but it hasn't hatched. They and Joe can't wait for it to hatch and the baby bird to come out, but it seems like it might take a while. It seems that we have to be patient and, until then, come up with some fun ways to pass the time. So we help Joe, Periwinkle, Blue to think of things to do and help out when things don't go right.

Joe and Blue are creating an alphabet train, with the help of the Blue's Clues characters. There are going to be boxes from A-Z connected to the train and each one will contain something to represent that letter. We help the characters throughout to figure out what they can put it the boxes and also help to make sure everything is in order. Our skidoo trip takes us into a magnet board, where we find every more things for the boxes. Once train is complete, we join in a song about the alphabet.
