What you can doo-doo-doo with Baby Shark obsessed kids

- AMY HANELINE USA Today

More than 3 billion views on YouTube isn’t enough for “Baby Shark.”

SmartStudy, the entertainm­ent company behind Pinkfong — who made “Baby Shark” into a mega sensation — is on a mission to bring us “Baby Shark” everything, including cereal.

The earworm song may make parents scurry, but watching your toddler clap and sing along makes it worthwhile.

Here’s all the stuff to make your baby sharks swim with joy.

“Baby Shark Live” tour

100 cities. Thousands of screaming kids. A “Baby Shark concert experience” is touring across America. Shows begin Oct. 3 and run through May 19, 2020. Thankfully, it won’t be just “Baby Shark” on repeat. Promoters say Baby Shark will join up with Pinkfong to sing and dance to a setlist of popular kids’ tunes.

“Baby Shark” T-shirts

As if attending the live tour isn’t enough, you can also show up wearing your designated baby, mommy and daddy shark tees. Yes, “Baby Shark Live” T-shirts are available for preorder so that they will arrive before the big day.

“Baby Shark” TV show on Nickelodeo­n

That’s right. The giant in children’s programmin­g struck a deal with SmartStudy for an upcoming animated kids TV series featuring the doo-doo-doo master “Baby Shark!” Ramsey Naito, executive-vice president at Nickelodeo­n Animation, previously told USA TODAY it made sense to capitalize on the stratosphe­ric popularity of one of 10 most-viewed videos on YouTube ever.

“At the heart of any popular piece of content is a terrific character, and we have a great opportunit­y to further explore the world of Baby Shark and follow this family through some great animated adventures on Nickelodeo­n,” Naito said in a statement. “Baby Shark” cereal

We expected to see some baby sharks floating around in there, but Kellogg’s put “Baby Shark” on the packaging and that just may doo-doo do it. The cereal is “berry-fin-tastic” flavoured rings with non-shark-shaped marshmallo­ws. Two-packs of the cereal will be sold exclusivel­y at Sam’s Club locations starting Aug. 17. Single packs will be available at select Walmart stores in September.

“Baby Shark” Halloween costumes

Rubies Costume Company is all over the “Baby Shark” trend. They plan to sell the costumes this Halloween season. There’s the yellow baby shark, pink mommy shark and blue daddy shark.

“Baby Shark” fingerling­s

Fingerling­s have been flying off the shelves ahead of Christmas for the past couple years, so might as well start your shopping early with these yellow “Baby Shark” versions. Some “Baby Shark” WowWee toys are already available at Walmart. When it comes to toys, there’s also song puppets, bath squirt toys, a plush ride-on from Dynacraft, Crayola colouring pages and sticker books and some new “Baby Shark” books from Harper Collins. All these products should all arrive by the end of 2019 — you know it will be before the holiday season.

“Baby Shark” bedding

After a long day of swimming faster doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo, it’s time to tuck the kids into their “Baby Shark”-themed bedding, including a body pillow, throw blanket, blanket and comforter set, all available at Walmart.
