Growing up in the '90s [1], I would come home from school and queue up the TV to watch one my favourite shows at the time: Blue's Clues. While the beloved Nickelodeon show took a hiatus, it was recently revived in 2019 as Blue's Clues and You! [2] with a brand-new host named Josh so that a fresh generation of kiddos can help our favourite blue dog work out clues.
As expected, there's a slew of new toys hitting the market this year [3] inspired by the show. From helping children practice their colours and letters to teaching them how to tell time, we have a feeling these developmental playthings will be all the rage in 2020. Keep reading to get a look at these new Blue's Clues and You! toys, which would all make for awesome gifts!
