Slippery Soap is a “bubbly” boy pre-schooler who embodies energy and humour. He lives in the bathroom in Blue’s house and can often be found in the sink of the bathtub, playing with bubbles. Slippery Soap is always excited and can often be found slipping and sliding from side to side. He sees ordinary routines, like brushing teeth as fun adventures too! As excited as he always sounds, Slippery Soap is also a sweet character that can often have his moments of shyness. Blue's Clues & You!

Blue is every pre-schooler's best friend! She’s playful, imaginative, affectionate, curious, and ready to learn. In her physical attributes, Blue is a puppy but her personality and behaviour mirrors that of a pre-schooler. From eating cereal with a spoon, to colouring with crayons and attending school, Blue acts like a kid. She does not speak in words, but she can read, write, draw, dance, sing, and express herself in other ways - especially through the game she created, “Blue’s Clues.”Tracy, Diane. (2002).

Adobe Systems was surprised that their products were being used in the production of a children's television show. According to Tracy, "Not even the developers of the software knew it could be used to create character animation on the scale Blue's Clues was using it", [109] Adobe later requested that the show's animators join their client development group, and made several changes and improvements to their software as a result. [109] Another notebook that looks exactly like Steve's was among the items for sale on the shelves of the present store (it was on the lower left) in " Math!". Josh's Phone has a printer features in Episode Sage & Ginger's Baby Book and Blue's Storytime with Camila. When Steve does his pulling out his notebook movement with his right hand before realizing he has his notebook (as a clue) on his left hand in " Draw Along with Blue", the fainter ding of a chime is heard.

Just like Steve and Joe, Josh is not a teacher or a didactic adult, but rather, a free-spirited “camp counsellor” and a pre-schooler's best friend. Blue's Clues was designed and produced on the assumption that since children are cognitively active when they watch television, a television program could be an effective method of scientific education for young children by telling stories through pictures and by modeling behavior and learning. [25] [84] These learning opportunities included the use of mnemonics in the form of mantras and songs, and what Tracy called "metacognitive wrap-up" [84] at the end of each episode, in which the lessons were summarized and rehearsed. The producers wanted to foster their audience's sense of empowerment by eliciting their assistance for the show's host and by encouraging their identification with the character Blue, who served as a stand-in for the typical preschooler. [85]The pace of Blue's Clues was deliberate, and its material was presented clearly. [42] Similar to Mister Rogers' Neighborhood, [87] this was done was in the use of pauses that were "long enough to give the youngest time to think, short enough for the oldest not to get bored". [39] The length of the pauses, which was estimated from formative research, gave children enough time to process the information and solve the problem. After pausing, child voice-overs provided the answers so that they were given to children who had not come up with the solution and helped encourage viewer participation. Researcher Alisha M. Crawley and her colleagues stated that although earlier programs sometimes invited overt audience participation, Blue's Clues was "unique in making overt involvement a systematic research-based design element". [69] Blue's Clues also differed from Sesame Street by not using cultural references or humor aimed at adults, as this could confuse preschoolers but, instead, made the show literal, which the producers felt would better hold the children's attention. [88] The structure of each episode was repetitive, designed to provide preschoolers with comfort and predictability. [84] Repetition of the same skills used in different contexts or games within and across episodes encouraged the mastery of thinking skills and the approach to content within an episode was consistent with learning theory that emphasized situated cognition and provided all viewers, no matter their age or abilities, with repeated opportunities to try to solve the problems presented. [34] [89] Sometimes, another item may be accidentally withdrawn instead of the notebook, like a magnifying glass or "A Really Great Book". When this happens, the ding of a hi-hat cymbal is heard. Josh's notebook has no visible camera lenses, so it was unknown how Steve and Joe were able to see Josh, Blue and the viewer on a video call on " Meet Josh!", Josh was able to take a picture in " Playdate with Magenta" and take a selfie with the Sun in " Science with Blue". After the early episodes, a ding from a percussion instrument is heard when the notebook is withdrawn. When Steve takes out his notebook, the ding is of a triangle; and when Joe takes out his, it is of a chime. When Josh takes out his notebook, it is a boxing bell.

Erin Ryan and her colleagues performed a 2009 study on the effect of the use of American Sign Language (ASL) in Blue's Clues episodes. They analyzed 16 episodes over two weeks for the content and frequency of the signs used and found a high incidence of ASL use by various characters, but that it was inconsistent, especially in the connection between English words and their corresponding signs. The purpose of signed communication and its connection with ASL and the Deaf community was also not clearly explained. The researchers speculated that hearing children with no previous ASL exposure would become familiar with ASL and with deaf people by these episodes, thus reducing the stigma attached to deafness and hard of hearing individuals. Based on other research about the positive effects of teaching ASL to hearing children, the researchers also speculated that it could lead to an increase of vocabulary skills and IQ, as well as improve interpersonal communication. They surmised that deaf children would feel more included and less isolated and have more opportunities to view positive models of ASL and deaf people. [153] [154]
