Differences[]
Counting apples with Mr. Salt and Mrs. Pepper was omitted from the original episode.
Shovel and Pail took their and Paprika's place on the picnic blanket instead of running the lemonade stand (which was run by Joe)
Joe ran the present store like in "Meet Josh!" instead of Cash Register, who simply appeared as an inanimate object.
The presents Steve bought in the original episode were the same ones on the shelves. In this episode, Joe gave Josh duplicates of the ones seen on the shelves.
In the original episode, Steve's hat was dark green with a picture of the Blue's Clues House. In this episode, Josh's hat is dark blue with a picture of a guitar.
This is most likely due to being filmed on a green screen.
In the original episode, Steve sings the So Long Song inside the house. Here in this episode, Josh sings it outside with Joe.
In the original episode, Steve tickled the pawprint into getting off the screen. Here, Josh just waved as the pawprint bounced away.
In the original episode, the second clue (a cup) was found in the kitchen. In this episode, it was found outside.
