Product Information

The first Blue's Clues title to feature Joe, the preschool show's second host, Blue's Clues: Preschool is a learning exploration game taking place in Blue's neighborhood. Miss Marigold, the preschool teacher, has asked her students (including Blue) to explore five places in their neighborhood and return with an item from each. Children can visit a bakery, library, grocery store, music store, and the popular Present Store to play activities with Blue and earn the items on their list from Miss Marigold. <br><br>Various skills including shape, color, and number recognition as well as spatial releation and size differentiation are emphasized in the activities. At the bakery, children will match cookies and other baked goods by shape and color. At the library, children help put away books by identifying and matching letters. The music store features Purple Kangaroo practicing her music lesson and players help Blue play various instruments according to the given directions. When visiting the grocery store, players will help Mr. Salt and Mrs. Pepper fill their shopping cart with items according to size. Finally, at the present store, players help Blue and Cash Register find items for sale that match each customer's amount of Blue Dollars. <br><br>Once each activity is included, they are rewarded with one of the items from the list. Items from the list may include a number, letter, shape, or color that Miss Marigold will use to create a classroom mural at the end of the game. Aside from three difficulty settings for the activities, the game also features a personalized sign-in format that allows kids to select their favorite color, song, food, animal, and sport. The selections are used to personalize the game by incorporating their initials, favorite song, or favorite color into the activities. This title also features a parents area for information about the game's chosen curriculum, along with printable activities to do with children away from the computer.
