IF you have a child aged four or younger, you might have heard of YouTube star Blippi. 

However, in 2021, fans noticed that the actor who usually played the children’s entertainer had been replaced.

Blippi is a channel on YouTube that Stevin John started in 2014 to provide edutainment to kids from ages 2 through 7.

After a two-year stint in the Air Force, the Las Vegas-based star dabbled in video production and also spent time as a marketing consultant. 

Then, in 2013, inspiration struck in the form of his 2-year-old nephew.

After spending some time checking out his nephew’s YouTube favorites, Stevin decided to dive into the educational video market head first.

Stevin came up with the concept of Blippi, who wears an orange and blue beanie hat, orange suspenders, a blue shirt, and an orange bow tie.
