Prodcut Description: [More Information ...]
Steve attaches a bow tie to his famed Rugby shirt and--voilá!--his and Blue's house is a small restaurant serving cheese sandwiches and spaghetti. But the chef team of Mr. Salt and Mrs. Pepper are missing the ingredients for spaghetti sauce and, of course, that is what all four customers order. So Steve and Blue jump into a grocery store picture to shop for the makings and gather clues for Blue's favorite dessert in the process. The food theme continues in the second episode, "Snacktime," as Steve tries to figure out what his dog wants to drink with her food. Kid viewers learn shapes while putting away groceries and visit a felt farm-scene where they are asked to match chicks in hats. Shapes, counting, color recognition, and what the Montessori folks call "practical living" are the lessons of the day in these entertaining 25-minute mysteries. (Ages 2 to 5) --Kimberly Heinrichs

I have a special girl who is now 33. She sits and watches these and signs and laughs whit them. Great stuff for the little guys. She is about 3 to 4 mentally.She has even learned some things from them. Grand kids love them also.
always a hit!
I can't say enough about Blue's Clues! Before we realized my son had a speech delay, he learned a lot of signs and communications through Blue's Clues and that's how we communicated with him.
New Blue brew to do you through; yahoo!
I'm not really partial to this series, but the blobby blue pooch with the Bob-Saget's-younger-brother-resembling human host holds my kids' interest. It's interactive, meaning that there is lots of dead air, as Steve pauses for the kids' response. Is it educational? Too early to tell, though they ask for it often and seem to love the theme song. And that's a "clue" that the producers must be doing something right!
Excellect learning tool and fun
My 21 month old loves this video. Every night he asks for Blues Clues and flashes his hands. He sings the songs, jumps up and waves his arms when the mail comes, and draws on his Magna Doodle every time Steve draws in his book. He has learned his colors and shapes from this video. One caution, in the first episode one of the clues is a cookie. When that cookie hits the screen my son goes running for the kitchen.
My Daughter Can't Get Enough of Blue!
My daughter has loved Blue's Clues since she was 6 months old. Ever since her first DVD Blue's Big Musical I was forced to collect the tapes. Blue has taught her many of her first words. She said Blue, Mail, Clock and Think. Now she's 21 months and I know anything I get her with Blue on it will be her favorite. This particular video Cafe Blue is one she likes a lot. I am not sure why but I do believe it is because of the situation Steve is in when he needs to take the orders of the characters dining at the pretend restaurant. In closing I would like to say if anyone feels they need to supply their child with educational entertainment I highly recommend Blue's Clues.
