Spring is officially in the air, and you know what that means! It’s time for the kids to ditch the heavy winter coats, soak up some sunshine, and get their hands a little dirty in the garden.
Unstructured outdoor play is incredible for your toddler’s sensory development and curiosity. To celebrate the start of the exploring season, we are so excited to introduce the newest member of the KidsBliss family: The Little Explorer!
With his trusty safari hat and magnifying glass, our cute little lizard mascot is here to help your kids discover the wonders of nature. And what better way to kick off the season than with a Great Aussie Backyard Bug Hunt?
Here is your ultimate guide to hosting a fun, bug-free backyard safari this weekend.
Step 1: Activate the "Invisible Shield" 🛡️
While hunting for friendly garden bugs is a blast, we want to make sure the biting ones stay far away! Before your little ones step onto the grass, they need to activate their "Invisible Bug Shield."
A quick spritz of the KidsBliss Organic Bug Defense is all it takes. Because our formula is completely DEET-free, certified organic, and made from natural plant extracts, it is perfectly safe for delicate and sensitive skin. It effectively masks your child's scent from hungry midges and mosquitoes, letting them dig in the dirt without coming back covered in itchy bites.
Step 2: Gear Up and Head Out 🔍
You don’t need to go to a massive national park for a safari; your backyard or local park is full of wildlife! Equip your toddler with a sun hat and a magnifying glass (or just their own two eyes).
Explorer Tip: Remind your kids to look closely at plants that bugs love, like lavender bushes, native mint, or under smooth rocks and fallen leaves.
Step 3: Download Your Free Bug Hunt Checklist! 📋
To make the safari even more interactive, we’ve created a free, printable Little Explorer Bug Hunt Checklist! Print it out, attach it to a clipboard, and let your toddler use a crayon to tick off the creepy-crawlies as they find them.

Kids love decorating their gear, and this sticker is perfect for drink bottles, lunchboxes, or bicycle helmets.
We wanted these stickers to be high-quality, completely waterproof, and durable enough to survive messy outdoor play.
