Netflix can be a saving grace in our house when the summer heat is blasting or when rain cancels our plans. One of Netflix's most popular shows -and our favorite- is the fun and adorable Beat Bugs™, created by Josh Wakely.
Featuring five colorful and friendly characters, Beat Bugs is an award-winning preschool show that follows the adventures of the bugs as they explore their suburban, overgrown, backyard home. Along with the bugs’ adventures, each episode features a song made famous by the Beatles–but in kid-friendly fashion. These re-recorded Beatles hits are sung today by one of the characters or guest stars that include mega-musicians such as P!nk, Rod Stewart, and Eddie Vedder.
Seasons 1 and 2 are now available on Netflix for a total of more than 50 episodes!
Once your Mini Macaronis fall in love with Beat Bugs, you can fuel their new interest with fabulous, interactive Beat Bugs products from your nearest Target! Toys, electronics, games, stationery, and back to school items are all part of the product line that embodies the musicality, humor, and heart of the show.
For preschoolers fascinated by music, I suggest the Beat Bugs Hijinx Alive™ Figures, which sing along with Season 1 episodes and a special Beat Bugs Alive app. The figures are six-inches tall and light up and move their mouths when they sing! Another great choice to keep the music alive is the Beat Bugs™ Musical Submarine which plays three different Beatles hits and includes a 3-inch Jasper character figure.
If you’re like my family and board games are your thing, check out the Beat Bugs™ Matching Game (also comes in a travel version!) or Beat Bugs™ Spin Go Round! Game, a fun twist on Bingo that your family is sure to love! Both games are bright and colorful, featuring all of the Beat Bugs characters, and appropriate for ages 3 and older.
Finally, I know we don’t want to say the “S” word, but SCHOOL will be starting again soon! Your Mini Macaronis will love the Beat Bugs Backpack (which has sound!) and the Beat Bugs 12 oz. FUNtainer(R) Bottle.
Find them all when you stop into Target–and let’s be honest, we know it probably won’t be long before you make your next trip there!
Along with the Netflix episodes and these newest products, your family can keep up with the Beat Bugs on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Pinterest.
