Blues Clues Toys - Blue's Clues Joe's Handy Dandy Notebook


Blue's Clues Joe's Handy Dandy Notebook | Blues Clues Toys | A notebook just like Joe's! With wipe-off pages and a dry-erase crayon. Blue's Clues gets preschoolers thinking farther, laughing harder, feeling smarter and playing to learn! Ages 3 and up. : Blues Clues Toys
Customer Review: A Winner!
My 2 year old absolutely lit up when he saw this. I was lucky and didn't pay nearly the "collectible" price. He's gone through so many writing pads I can't even count. The plastic front a back cover make a nice sturdy notebook for the punishment a 2 year old can dish out. How ever long it lasts, it was worth the look on his face when I gave to him! Blues Clues Toys
Customer Review: The Best Notebook Option Out There
I own this notebook, as well as Steve's Notebook and the Golden Notebook. While all three look good, I would only recommend Joe's and Steve's, with a couple of qualifications. Blues Clues Toys

First, I would not recommend that Golden Notebook primarily because the front and back are made of cardboard instead of plastic, as the other two are. Blues Clues Toys

Regarding Joe's Notebook and Steve's Notebook, here are the qualifications:

1) The pages can soak up water when you clean them. That said, I have never put that much water on them. Usually a little dab on a paper towel will do the trick.

2) While a little dab of water can do the trick, it is not an easy chore and not something all little kids will be able to do. Depending on how hard your child writes, this could be more or less of a problem.

3) This is probably the worst issue for me. The crayon simply does not draw very well on the pages. You generally have to press down pretty hard, and this is not always easy for little ones. My little girl often shows me her drawing and tells me what it is, which is good seeing as how I can barely see a faded dark line here and there. It is nothing like simply drawing with a crayon or marker on paper. Of course, this is to be expected I suppose, considering the washable nature of the product, but still. Blues Clues Toys

4) You will likely need to get creative and find a way to attach the crayon to the notebook otherwise it may get lost on day one. Some string and a rubberband will do the trick. I am sure you can come up with something. Blues Clues Toys

Now, even with all those concerns, I still say this is the best notebook out there and here's why. This one and Steve's are the only ones I know of that have plastic fronts and backs. Anyone who is looking for Blue's Clues stuff knows how hard it is to come by and how expensive it can be. These are notebooks that will last a good long time. Not only that, I have found that it is very easy to get some colored construction paper, a hole punch and a better pen on a leash and "reload" these notebooks til your kids are out of college. That right there is the true value of these particular notebooks and the reason that, despite all my problems with them, they still get 5 stars. Blues Clues Toys

So, out of the box, they're not bad and worth the retail price, but what makes these things really shine and makes them worth the "collectible" price is the fact that they will last you a good long time and can be modified and "reloaded" time and time again with a little work. The Golden Notebook, on the other hand, while a good think cardboard and perhaps worth the retail price, still wears down quickly, as one would expect even think cardboard to do. Blues Clues Toys

Other notebooks I have seen have been much, much worse. Be careful what you get.

Blues Clues Toys - Blue's Clues Steve's Handy Dandy Notebook


Blue's Clues Steve's Handy Dandy Notebook | Blues Clues Toys | Play along with Blue on Blue's Clues with this notebook. Just wipe off pages and reuse them again and again.
Customer Review: Great for little ones who love Blues Clues
My toddler loves Blues Clues, so I knew she had to have a handy dandy notebook of her own. I was a little surprised at how much it was - was quite a bit more than I wanted to spend. But I bought it anyway and she absolutely loves it. Whenever it's on TV, she runs and gets her notebook and feels like she's part of the show. I also like how the pages just wipe off so we can use them over and over again. Is a cute toy & my daughter loves it, however, it is rather expensive which is a bummer. : Blues Clues Toys
Customer Review: One of the Best Handy Dandy Notebooks available
I understand the negative review. The erasable crayon leaves something to be desired. You will likely see shreds of it somewhere, though it is not hard to clean up really. My number one complaint about the crayon and product in general is how hard it is to write with it. You have to press down very hard to see any sort of satisfying line, and even then it is not a clean line. For a two year old girl, this is particularly hard. : Blues Clues Toys

As a side note, there is no reason to clean these with a sponge or anything wet. A dry paper towel did the trick for me, generally without any hassles. : Blues Clues Toys

Yet, I give it 5 stars. Why? Because it is still the best BC notebook out there (except for the other two or three that are the same only in different styles). What I really like about this notebook is how durable it is (don't use water to wash it). The front and back are extra sturdy plastic and the spiral ring is big enough to fit a variety of crayons and dry erase markers. : Blues Clues Toys

That durability means I can do something else cool with this notebook. Without too much trouble, I cam make my own pages, punch them and thread them through the spirals. This possibility opens up all kinds of options and is why I really love this thing. That, and my daughters eyes lit up when she saw it. : Blues Clues Toys
