Stevin John, thanks for doing a great job for small children. Our grandchildren love you. We have an 18 month old granddaughter who wants to watch you as soon as she wakes up every morning. Sometimes the only way we can get her to eat is turn your program on. Another one of our granddaughter’s that is 4 years old is constantly spelling your name. Our 5 grands have learned a lot from you. Thanks
My grandsons love Blippi. Both of them have learned their numbers, alphabet, songs, and some many things regular children’s shows don’t offer. Being from Washington and now living in South Carolina, I enjoy watching the places he films in especially in Seattle and surrounding areas, Ellensburg, and many other states. I applaud Stevin John for focusing on showing children that physical activity is important and fun.
He’s multi talented and his enthusiasm encourages kids to try new activities. Thank you for sharing with our children.
