Budding artists who are also fans of Nick Jr.'s show Blue's Clues will get a big kick out of painting with their favorite dog, Blue. This sponge painting kit features nine different sponge shapes (including a paw print, which kids can stamp to signify clues—just like on the show) and a blue, paw-shaped palette that holds four paints (included) and water for mixing. A 25-inch paper roll provides a canvas for kids' designs and a smock adorned by the infamous Blue protects clothes from paint. A colorful instruction booklet shows how to use the stamps to make 29 different pictures, from trains to boats to bees. And, in case children desire to switch mediums midstream, the kit also comes with two jumbo-sized crayons. All artist tools come packed in a hard, blue locking plastic case with wheels and an extendable handle so kids can easily pull this activity suitcase to a friend's house. --Cristina Vaamonde ...

Its not really painting
I bought this for a 4 year old girl.She seems mildly interested in it despite the fact that the "paint" is some kind of very hard substance and doesn't come off on the sponges so making the fun pictures is difficult unless you're very persistent and have the PERFECT amount of water in your sponge.Also, many of the sponges are too big for the circles of paint provided so its hard to use those particular ones for your picture.It does come with a cute apron which she loves to wear but I wouldn't recommend this as a sponge painting toy.You just end up making a big watery mess on a piece of paper but don't get the satisfaction of actually painting. ...

The most popular TV star among the preschool set is finally getting his own PlayStation game with Blue's Clues: Blue's Big Musical. Blue, Steve, and the rest of the cast are trying to mount a musical, but they need your help. Players will explore familiar areas of the Blue's Clues world to fulfill such tasks as setting the stage, auditioning performers, and selecting songs for the show. The game features lots of puzzles to solve, and, like the hit TV show, there are plenty of clues to give younger gamers a sense of accomplishment. ... Read more

dull game
my little sister was 4/2 years old when she bought the game she liked it for about 6 months then lost intrest she plays it about once in a blue moon (not very often at all) now.she likes spider man 1 and a bugs life more than this game.this game is also loading almost all the time.But even when it is not loading it is not even as fun as the show(im10). The graphics are like eric carls books. Dont waste your money.

Oh my god are they kidding?
look I bought this game for my 4 year old 2nd cousin for Christmas 'cuzz they were out of Power Rangers games. Eaven he got bored of it. He was like to me "Kevin this game disn't gewd I wanted a good gamey!" he started a tantrum so I exchanged it for his power rangers thing (by the way that game sux too unless you're 3)

B-O-R-I-N-G
Luckily I only rented this game from the video store, but I have to agree with all the other reviews. This game is always loading, and then even when it's not, it is not much fun. Didn't keep my 4 year old son's interest very long at all. DO NOT recommend this at all!!!!!!! Waste of time and money. ... Read more

Not quite as pictured
Although this costume appears to be a high quality product, my daughter & I were surprised to find that the item is not exactly as pictured in the ad.The costume pictured clearly shows "paw" glove-like coverings on the child's hand and slippers on her feet.
The actual product does not offer the gloves or feet coverings, and the fabric texture is slightly different.
On a bright note, the costume does appear to be very well made, and offers a good fit.I guess all is not lost... ... Read more

A good toy
I bought three of these for my 2 year old triplets. They LOVE blues clues! They played with the bubble feature all day on their birthday. Devin even slept with sand clawing tool that night because he was convinced "blue" gave him that present. I took it to the beach with them and another kid there tried to take them away cause he wanted a "bues cues" too. The face did wash off, which was frustrating, but I took my paints and painted a face back on. My kids don't know the difference, and I don't have to keep returning the product.

The face disappeared, but still a great toy!
My 2-year-old daughter loves this toy.She plays with it in the tub, in her sandbox, and on the beach.However, the pail's face and Blue's colored nose rubbed off after taking it to the beach for a day.We contacted the company that made this product, and they are sending us a new one.My little girl won't go anywhere without it, so I would still highly recommend this toy!
