“My team and I are proud to be working with Target and Tesco to release this exclusive collection of merchandise that captures the spirit and imagination of Beat Bugs,” added Wakely. “We’re excited to take it into the homes and hands of the children who have fallen in love with this iconic music and connected with the stories and characters in our show.”
