Blue's Clues VHS - ABC's and 1,2,3's

In these two episodes, the popular Nickelodeon Jr. show for the 2-4 age group does an excellent job of introducing simple vocabulary and numerical concepts. In the first episode, Steve and his dog Blue's house is labeled to discover what book Blue wants to have read to her. The labels, including "refrigerator" and "wall," are treated lightly, with Steve mostly asking the audience to name the first letter of each word. Steve and Blue also work on constructing a simple sentence. In the second episode, Blue wants to buy something, leading to simple counting games and a shopping trip to The Present Store, which make for a solid exploration of numbers, including addition, subtraction, and even fractions.
