Blue's Clues: Inventions
Overview
Steve came up with a device to use to change the channel on the television without getting up, but when he realizes that there's already such a thing, it spurs him to try and create a unique invention following the slogan of ""try again."" When Mr. Salt and Mrs. Pepper want to eat peanut butter and jelly on bread together, Steve's excited at his solution, only to realize that the ""sandwich"" already exists. We come across Shovel and Pail and play an invention game. We take a look at pictures of inventions and identify the order in which they were invented. Later, we skiddoo into an invention factory, where we take a look at some famous inventions such as a train and a car.

There's a play being held at the Blue's Clues house and we're asked to play the cow. As we learn about the play, we find that it still doesn't have an ending.

We come across Shovel and Pail, who find that Gopher's popping up all over the backyard, although they're not sure exactly where he's going to show up next.

Mr. Salt and Mrs. Pepper explain what opposites are and Steve seems to like the idea. We learn more about opposites when a guy named Bob skiddoos out a picture frame into the Blue's Clues house to deliver something to Steve. His presence often causes things to turn opposite. He has a magic ability that can fix it, but it's up to us to first find the things that are opposite so that we can tell him to fix them. Later, we skiddoo into a book where we help out two sisters that like opposite things to make their favorite places.
