DIY Beat Bugs Birthday Party
You Say It’s Your Birthday? Why not have Beat Bugs themed party for your Child’s Next Birthday?!
Netflix has created some really cool birthday messages. Be a hero and share a special Beat Bugs Birthday Message with your little birthday bug. Can we say #NailedIt
Some of you might be familiar with Beat Bugs, the hit preschool show on Netflix. If you have a preschooler, and don’t have Netflix, Beat Bugs just may be a reason to become a member. Josh Wakely’s Beat Bugs is an Emmy Award-winning animated kids series featuring music made famous by The Beatles. The stories revolve around the lives and adventures of five best friends – Buzz, Walter, Jay, Crick, and Kumi. They are charming and funny childlike bugs who explore and learn life lessons in their suburban backyard home.
Each episode ties in a song inspired by the Fab Four, reimagined in an innocent and child-friendly fashion, sung by one of the characters or guest stars that include mega-musicians P!nk (“Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds”), Sia (“Blackbird”), Aloe Blacc (“Rain”), The Shins (“The Word”), Jennifer Hudson (“I’ll Follow the Sun”), and more. Find it here on Netflix. For families that keep the fab five close to their hearts, you may be wondering if there are any party supplies to be able to throw your very own Beat Bugs themed birthday party for young bug-fanatics.
Unfortunately, no official merchandise is available just yet, but the Beat Bugs Dream Team and Netflix Stream Team have been given an official ‘how to guide’ to share with readers to help parents throw the awe-shom-est Beat Bugs Birthday Party ever!
