Blue's Clues - Handy Dandy Notebook Activity Set

Pros: Hours of fun
Cons: spiral comes out to easy

I had avoided this toy for sometime now because the age recommended for the Handy Dandy Notebook is three years old and my oldest is two. Well, my son finally caught a glimpse of it at Wal-Mart and had to have it. How could I say no? He has Blue's...

Pros: easy for child to hold
Cons: does not write very good

When our youngest grandson, Sam, was almost two years old, he was very interested in the television show "Blue's Clues". This show was geared for young children - to make them think; to make them listen; and to make them capable of solving the...

Pros: Lets child interact with TV, encourages drawing and thinking skills
Cons: some have been recalled, hard to wipe off

I bought several versions of the Handy Dandy notebook for my son, and he loves all of them.

However, I found a recall notice on some of these notebooks. The recall information states that the ends of the notebooks' coils can break off,...

Pros: Reusable, interactive, durable, and much fun for the Blues Clues fan
Cons: None yet

Blues Clues is a much loved show in our household, as I am sure it is in many others. The Blues Clues Handy Dandy Notebook Activity Set is the best, mostly for how it is made (durable and reusable) and for what it is designed to do.

On the...

Pros: looks great, neat idea
Cons: coil is hard to use, doesn't wipe off

I bought this toy for my daughter, figuring that she is huge Blue's Clues fan she would love it. After about 5 minutes of play, this toy lost it's novelty. We had been in the market for a Blue's Clues notebook, because everyone at daycare had one....

Pros: The little one loves it and it can be used over and over again
Cons: Too easy to take apart

I've been visiting a friend for the past three weeks and her toddler son has this toy.

The Blues Clues Handy Dandy Notebook has a hard plastic front and back cover with seven laminated type plastic pages in between. They are held together by...

Pros: extra pages mean extra fun
Cons: need extra crayons too : (

We purchased this package because it had not only my child's favorite toy (the notebook and crayon) in it, but the extra pages with the clues to play along with television programs.

I think this would have been great for an older child but...

Pros: fun, inexpensive
Cons: none

I bought this toy for my daughter when she was six. Maybe that's a lil' old for blues clues, but even though she's very bright, she still really enjoys the 'preschool programs'. *L*

I figured this toy would at least add something for her to...

Pros: Encourages interaction; sharpens drawing skills
Cons: Crayon is not washable.

Blue's Clues is a big hit in our house. We have almost every Blue's Clues toy there is and when our daughter (then 3 years old) saw the Handy Dandy Notebook in a store recently, she of course had to have it too. She loves to draw and was excited at the...

Pros: Exact replica of the one on the show
Cons: Cheaply made

I bought this product for my 3yr old son who is a fan of the show. I should have known that after buying the playhouse that comes apart too easily that this would be no different. The spiral ring comes out and goes uneven constantly, the crayon will...

Pros: Simple enough for a younger child to use.
Cons: Doesnt wipe off as easy as claimed. Comes apart.

My three year old stepson sits in front of the TV glued to Blues Clues on a daily basis. So for Christmas of 1999, we bought him several items based on the TV show. The Handy Dandy Notebook Activity Set was by far, the worst choice.

The...

Pros: cheap, educational, high educational quotient
Cons: loose pages are a pain to put back in

My son got this last year for his birthday and he absolutely loves it. It'll have to be replaced this year because it's so dogged-eared from taking it every where. The pages that come with it coincide with Blue's Clues episodes and make your child feel...

Pros: It keeps the kids occupied
Cons: That crayon dosent erase everywhere, and I have to keep putting the pages back in!

The Blues Clues Notebook activity set looked like a fun little toy that my 3 year old stepson would enjoy using while he watched his favourite TV show, Blues Clues. Well I was wrong!

He did enjoy it, but rather, he enjoyed it better when...

Pros: identified with the show (and emphasized often on the show)
Cons: ring moves around, no where for the crayon to stay, wipe off pages hard to wipe off

I purchased the Blue's Clues Handy Dandy Notebook because I thought it would be a neat way for him to interact with the show.

I panicked at first when I found out that notebooks had been recalled, but then I realized I had the new...

Pros: great for drawing, wipes right off
Cons: not enough crayons

I bought this handy dandy notebook for my 2 year old. He watches blues clues all the time..

It was a very inexpensive gift and he carry's this around with him all the time.. As a matter of fact the first one we bought he has worn out...
