Blue's Room
Encyclopedia
Blue's Room is a children's puppet show television series which is aimed at preschoolers, aged 2-6, and it is a spin-off series of the popular Blue's Clues
series. It originally started as a short segment that came near the end of the original Blue's Clues show, originally cast off as Blue's personal imaginary world once Joe took over the show after his brother Steve "went to college". Later on, when Joe also decided to leave the show Blue's Clues, the short segment became a show itself, with Joe appearing in some episodes.
What distinguishes Blue's Room from Blue's Clues is that Blue herself transforms from an animated blue puppy into an English-speaking puppet that directly interacts with the child with open ended questions or asks if a presented idea or solution is correct. The Season One episode "Meet Blue's Baby Brother" is a turnaround episode for this series, bringing most of the concepts of Blue's Clues into the new series and getting additional interest in the series.
Blue, Sprinkles and Joe have a sleepover, but Sprinkles can't sleep, so the book "How do Dinosaurs Say Goodnight" is read in the episode by Roary, counting imagined objects where he imagines a teddy bear, and after saying good night to everyone he falls asleep.
Sprinkles, Blue, and Joe use the characters from the classic fairytale, to teach children if they want something to ask for it.
Blue, and Sprinkles create art in Blue's room using pointillism
, sculpture, and created a unique painting combining elements of Starry Night by Vincent Van Gogh, The Three Musicians by Picasso, and Blue Pair.
Joe, Blue and Sprinkles go on a trip to Antarctica, Brazil, and Egypt and locate 3 keys to open a chest with 3 colored locks on it. The chest has a snow globe with 3 scenes from their trip.
