  This video takes the kids through an “investigation” to find out who stole Blippi’s lunch. Throughout the video, Blippi describes the colors of the things he encounters, the parts of the vehicles he sees, even a rundown of the list of items you will need to conduct a proper investigation from actual police officers — now that’s legit! 

  Watch for two actors playing Blippi! 

  

  The original Blippi is played by 33-year-old actor Stevin John, who has been Blippi since 2014. He created Blippi after seeing his then 2-year-old nephew watching a poorly made educational video on YouTube.

  From the color of his outfit to his acting, Stevin made sure that everything was kid-friendly, and the videos were easy to search. The first video that Blippi made an appearance in, “Learn to count MONSTER TRUCKS! Numbers 1-10” shows that he knew what kids wanted, and how parents would search videos on YouTube — a smart move, Blippi!
