In Blue’s Art Time Activities – based on the children’s television series
Blue’s Clues – Blue and her human friend Steve invite the player to join them
as they prepare for the Really Big Art Show at Blue’s school. With the help of
some other characters from the series, the player will assemble and embellish
many pieces to be displayed in the art show while learning some art basics
such as color-mixing, shapes, textures, and primary colors. Each activity
allows the player to create and save several pieces in Blue’s portfolio.

The player is provided with a checklist inside the portfolio, showing the
characters to assist and activities to be finished before the Art Show may
commence:

* Help Periwinkle illustrate her storybook using crayons and stickers
* Create an invitation to the Really Big Art Show with Marky Marker
* Find some recyclable pieces for Al Luminum and assemble a diorama using a blueprint
* Mix colors to advance through a hopscotch board game
* Put together shapes to create a mural and story with Chalk Girl – watch it animate

Once all the activities have been finished, the player is ready to participate
in the Art Show and select his favorite art piece to award a ribbon to.

Blue’s Art Time Activities uses a point-and-click and click-and-drag method
as in other Blue’s Clues games and allows the player to print his completed
pieces; an option that can be turned off by a parent. The game is intended for
the 3 – 6 year-old, complementing a preschool artistic curriculum as well as
providing creative free play.
