Blue's Room

What’s the Story?

In BLUE'S ROOM, popular canine character Blue (voiced by Victoria Pontecarvo), her baby brother, Sprinkles (Joey Mazzarino), and their pal Joe (Donovan Patton) -- now in puppet form, rather than animated – invites kids to join them in interactive fun that typically involves singing, dancing, imagining, and playing games. The trio sets the stage for adventures in outer space, on the farm, through fairytales, and more. They engage preschoolers with imaginative stories that call for skills like counting, comprehension, shape recognition, and creative expression to solve various obstacles incorporated into each episode's theme. In one episode, for example, Blue and Sprinkles handle chores on the farm while Old McDonald (Joe) runs errands. Using a checklist to keep track of their tasks, Blue and Sprinkles ask for viewers' help collecting and counting eggs, distributing the right food to the animals, and milking a cow. When the work is done, the group celebrates by singing "Old McDonald."

There's so much to love about Blue's Room that parents will be tempted to join in the fun as well. Those who do will notice strong messages about teamwork, friendship, and self-confidence woven into the engaging, educational content.
