The episode features everything that parents and kids have come to expect from Blue’s Clues. The show begins at a party in Blue’s Room. The party is to celebrate the arrival of Blue’s new baby brother. But to find the new dog, Joe and Blue skidoo to Puppyville. While there they befriend a shy puppy named Sprinkles and they go on a hunt for special Gold Clues that will help Blue find her brother. Along the way Sprinkles (and viewers) learn about letters, numbers, shapes, and colors. After each lesson sprinkles earns more spots and the audience learns more clues. By the end, not only has Sprinkles learned a ton, he also has more confidence. He can do anything, that he wants to do.
During a time when new preschool shows are being debuted all the time, Blue’s Clues has remained a constant for a decade. Researchers have found that Blue’s Clues vieweers were more adept at concepts such as sequencing, matching and numerous other skills. Viewers also demonstrated abilities to apply problem solving strategies from the show to similar tasks later on.
In addition to the hour long episode, Nickelodeon is celebrating in other ways. A documentary Behind the Clues: 10 Years with Blue debuted on July 27th and will be shown on August 6th preceding the prime time special. It is also available at NickJr.com.
