They play a game of Blue's Clues to figure it out. Steve, Kevin, Duarte and HyunShup Shin go to Sidetable Drawer who made a tassel. They get their notebook. Then, he starts looking for those clues. They show the audience the caterpillar. It was made out of an egg carton, pipe-cleaners & had googly eyes. He find the 1st clue on the pie plate. After drawing the 1st clue, they check out more paintings starting with Tickety who made a finger painting. In her finger painting, there was a fish. They check on Slippery Soap next.

They tell him that their dog sculpture was looking for clues. Then it was Mail (Post) time. Mailbox (Postbox) did a painting on his side. Steve, Kevin, Duarte and HyunShup Shin gets a real fancy letter. In the letter was some children at a museum. They admire the statue from the outside and gave their opinion on it. After reading the letter, 3 of the art characters fall out from the art book. There was Rain Girl, Shape Boy and Line Man. Blue leads the characters He draws the 3rd clue and then to the thinking chair to put all 3 clues together. The clues were a pie plate, a string & 3 spoons. They thought Blue would tie the spoons on one end and tie the other end to the pie plate and then the spoons hang over the pie plate and if the spoons bumped into themselves, it would make a pretty sound. They believe Blue is making a wind chime for the art show. After figuring out Blue's Clues, everybody gets together for the art show. Mr. Salt, Mrs. Pepper & Paprika have finished their art work and is now going to unveil it. It was a food sculpture. It had a celery for the head & neck, carrots for the arms and the leafy part of the carrots were used for the hands, peanuts for the feet, a semi-circle shaped tomato for the mouth & a whole orange for the body. Soon after, Blue was finished making the wind chime and hangs it up on a tree branch. Steve, Kevin, Duarte and HyunShup Shin sings the So Long Song and the episode ends.
