Each month I am talking about the Beat Bugs because I am not only part of the Dream Team for Beat Bugs and also part of the Netflix Stream Team.

Apparently September is the most popular month for birthdays. That is why Netflix made some very special birthday messages from their properties. One such birthday message was from the Beat Bugs. September has come and gone and we are on to our actual birthday season. Eva turns 10 in October and Andrew turns six in November. While we are not having a Beat Bugs themed birthday for either of the kids there are many other people who are and would like to find the best Beat Bugs themed party favors and ideas.

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.  Meet Buzz, Walter, Jay, Crick, and Kumi, the Beat Bugs.  Josh Wakely’s Beat Bugs is an Emmy Award-winning animated kids series featuring music made famous by The Beatles. Stories revolve around the lives and adventures of these five best friends; 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.

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!

Let’s talk food.

Food is my favorite so let’s start there. Your party guests need some snacks to enjoy while they are awaiting cake. A really cute idea would be to make some Kumi inspired Cheese and Crackers. The videos below from Jennifer House and YoYoMax12 show you two different ways to make these fun snacks.

And you know what, I actually made snacks like those YoYoMax12 made. I made those years back when I was reviewing the boxes from Cooper and Kid. You can see my ladybug crackers here as well.

How about something that is sweet.
