Have you ever heard of Bottersnikes & Gumbles? It’s an animated series that’s geared toward girls & boys aged 6-9 years old. Bottersnikes & Gumbles is actually based on the wildly popular books published in the UK and Australia with the same name. Now, the Bottersnikes & Gumbles series will be coming to the United States on August 19 via Netflix!

The series is a unique compilation of interesting characters and creative story lines- and it’s definitely attracting a lot of positive attention. In fact, it won this year’s Pulcinella Award for Best Kids TV Series at the International Animation Festival! The series kicks off on Netflix with 26 episodes and we recently had a special viewing party at home to watch a few episodes. Here are my girls getting ready on the couch with their snacks & matching dresses. 🙂
