Blues Clues Toys - Blue's Clues Joe's Handy Dandy Notebook
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
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
Blues Clues Toys - Ty Beanie Buddies Blues Clues dog
Customer Review: A nice quiet bed time buddy.
My son loves the program, Blues Clues. For his 3rd birthday he received his very own Blue puppy. Now when he rolls over at 2am, we don't hear an electronic song or giggle like we would hear from some of his other stuffed animal buddies. : Blues Clues Toys
Customer Review: Goooooo BLUE!
I was a bit hesitant about buying this plush toy after reading some of the reviews. I took a gamble as my 2 year old has just discovered Blue's Clues and really likes stuffed toys. I was happily surprised when I pulled Blue out of his plastic bag. His fur was soft and he was quite cuddly. The spots are a different texture but I didn't get a "painted on" feeling that another customer had mentioned. I'm not sure if they change the batches periodically but this was from a good lot. So, if your child enjoys a cuddle and likes the show--I say this is a good buy. : Blues Clues Toys

Blues Clues Toys - Blue's Clues Inflatable Chair
Customer Review: We had a good experience with this chair!
It's funny how people generally are only inclined to write really bad reviews or really good ones. Well thousands of this chair have been sold and 4 people have written a bad review. I would guess they had received a defective product - out of thousands of this product as with any product there will be defective items here and there. I'm writing to say, we bought this chair and had no problems with it deflating at all, for months now!
Customer Review: Very disappointed
This chair is the poorest, cheapest product I have ever purchased. When we took it out of the package and blew it up, it had a hole in the back. We fixed it and my 2 year old loved it. Then a day later, another hole appeared, then another. I like the idea someone else had about stuffing it with the foam peanuts. Just today we patched the 4th hole and we have only had it for a week. Don't buy this product!!!!

Customer Review: Kid loves in

learn from it!
Customer Review: An ok starter game
Alot of these v smile games have really crappy graphics, this ones not not the best. Out of all the games in this age range, it's not one of her favorites but she does occasionally play it. She's had it for 6 months and other games have become more interesting. This one is kind of for real beginners, like maybe in the 3 year old range. I purchased the v smile for her for Christmas along with about 7 games. My only mistake was to give them all to her at once. As with any 4 year old, who is having their first game system experience, she would play a game for a minute or two and then get discouraged and put in another. I had to take them all away and let her choose one game to play per day. Whichever game she chose for that day was the only one she got no matter how hard she found it. That did the trick, she learned how to play all of them in this manner and now I let her choose as she pleases.

Customer Review: If you'd like a ty Blue and Handy Dandy Notebook...
Our elementary aged son loved Blue as a little tyke and we recently bought this as a "memory" item for him. This Blue is a nice ty beanie baby and the notebook & crayon is right on target with his memories. We were very pleased with the size, quality, and delivery of this product.
Customer Review: Blue's Doll
My grandson loves it. It is the perfect size for him to sleep with it.
Blues Clues Toys - Ty Blue - Blues Clues
Customer Review: Cute little Blues
This Blues Clues is not really a toy, but more of a beanie baby. Our little 3 year old granddaughter loves it. When she watches tv, it comes out with her and sits right next to her. Its very soft and shes likes to hug it.
Customer Review: Great quality, my kid loves it
My almost 9 month old daughter totally loves the show and thus she really liked this toy. She immediately recognized it when I opened the box in front of her.
The size of the product is roughly 6 by 6 by 6 inches and the picture can be a little misleading as I was expecting it to be a bit larger. However the size is just right. My kid likes to tote it around and it is the perfect size not to be a nuisance. As far as I can tell it is well built with no parts that can come off.
Very nice, will get another, maybe Magenta.
Blues Clues Toys - Blue's Clues Notebooks - 4 Count
Customer Review: A Must Have For Your Blues Clues Fan
This product is wonderful! My son loves Blues Clues and was so excited to get the notebooks. We bring these along with us wherever we go and it keeps him busy trying to "sketch out the clues". It came with the green crayon that is used on the tv show. Great gift at a great price!
Customer Review: Good Product
These are hard to find and my 2 year old loves them. I'm going to have to order more! The only issue I had was that it took a while for the order to get to me. Otherwise, great product.
