I got this video for my son a week before his second birthday. I was planning a party for him, but he didn't really understand the concept. He loved this video and requested it over and over. I started telling him about his party a few days before the big day, and he asked about blowing out candles, party hats and cake. He had a great time at his party, and I think it was a little less overwhelming for him because the video prepared him so well. Be prepared, however, as an adult, to have the "Birthday Candle Dance" song play over and over in your head.

We have this video and the Storytime one, and this is by far our favorite. You can't miss with any of these. As far as videos go, it's great because it is interative (the kids answer Steve and get involved in the video), and kids learn terrific things like "what's missing from this picture." The songs are great and the entire video is much easier for adults to watch over and over than Barney (no offense, Barney). I highly recommend Blue's Clues for you and your pre-schooler. It's a favorite in our house.

All the Blue's Clues series is a must for preschool children. By focussing on specific concepts and themes throughout each show, children learn the basics through repetition and creative playing. The characters are adorable and a nice relief for parents used to the annoying Teletubbies. At least this series teaches your children something and they speak audible english. Kids are positive and big grins on their faces when they are told they are "smart" and "excellent" etc, by Steve. We have a 2 year old and she absolutely adores these videos. We even bought her the Handy Dandy Notebook, which is a nother positive reinforcement for added learning within this series. If you don't enjoy this we guarantee your kids will.

My nephew is 2 years old and he has been watching Blue's Clues for as long as it has been on. When he was in his play pen he always used to stand up and dance when Blue came on. Later on he learned to recognize the songs if someone was to sing it to him. After a while he learned the little steps that Steve does with the songs. My nephew is absolutely infatuated with Blue. My sister in law decided that since she got all the Blue toys that she's seen and could afford for my nephew, for Christmas last year she bought him the video of Blue's Birthday. He watches it all the time and sometimes more than once. Since my nephew loves Blue and watches her all the time he has made everyone else in the family love her too. I am 17 years of age and I think that Blue's Clues is a fun and creative way for young children to learn and I learned that no matter how old you are, some things just make you feel young again.

I guess we have more Blues Clues videos and DVDs than any other character. He's been a favorite of my son's since before he was one year old. Now he's almost 2 1/2 and has begun to develop more serious tastes. He'll actually watch many more programs geared towards older kids, and even adults, but he still likes his Blues Clues now and then.

Blues Birthday was always one of his favorites. Kids of course love birthdays so it's fun to watch Blue's party as he is joined by Steve and the rest of Blues friends for the celebration. Steve also teaches kids the the birthday candle dance. Good fun for your young ones.

My kids love Blue and Steve...I bought this video because they don't show Blues Clues at night..This video shows children how to use there minds to solve a puzzle involving Blues Birthday..U know, with a Handy Dandy Notebook..My kids favorite thing on this video is Mailtime..This video has great songs and little skits by children..

My 2 year old son adores blue's clues; with this in mind i purchased the Spanish version of Blue's Birthday. Even though he doesn't quite understand the Spanish yet, he was still captivated by the birthday theme and familiar characters. Steve's voice is different, but still quite soothing and clear. There are two birthdays celebrated, so you get two stories with the same theme; which further helps understand the birthday celebration concept. Blue's Clues videos in English or Spanish have great series of events which essentially teach problem solving and creativity, with cute appealing characters. Am trying to teach my son Spanish, and keeping his attention is the toughest part-this video has solved that problem---my son started repeating a couple of Spanish words after his second viewing of this tape...perhaps it's not beginner's Spanish, but children have such great learning capabilities!

I purchased several used "Blue's Clues" VHS VCR tapes from different sellers who all listed them as "used--very good". All but this one were like new. This tape came in a "very used" box and the tape wasn't even re-wound. I would not recommend purchasing from this seller again. His/her description of the product is far from accurate!

I should give Blue's Clue's BIG credit. Want to know why? Because a while ago I was about 4 or 5 years old. My autistic sister Pamela (Who is a little bit older than me and she's a special needs child) hated drawing and writing. That's a shame for a 9 year old kid to hate drawing and writing! But Blue's Clue's was released and she loved it (or loves it) and because Steve had his handy, dandy notebook, Pamela started to draw pictures just like Steve! Yay!!!!!!

And She still loves that Blue Puppy and his master will always be treasured forever. And I kind of like Blue's Clue's too. It was well done and such Great ANAMATION and LIVE ACTION mixed together in a wonderful SHOW!!!!!!! If you have an autistic kid or an ordinary kid who hates writing and drawing then show him or her to join Steve (retired,) joe, and Blue on some fun, exciting clues that will thrill your kids for a long time!!

My son is 2 now.He's alway's loved blue even as an infant.I have older children who enjoy watching also.It's something he can relate to.He's also learning so much from blue and her friends.Also from Steve and Joe.Any kid will love this video.
